Statement:

The intent of  RI-108 is agreed upon by the CCIMB, but not the specific approach.

The CCIMB disagrees with the need to insert the additional information on application notes into APE as proposed by this national interpretation. However, they agreed that the role of application notes in Protection Profiles needed to be clarified. This clarification has been included in the resolution to RI-222.

This National Interpretation partly arises from a misunderstanding of the use of the term "normative," confusing "normative" with "mandatory." This has been clarified in the resolution to RI-222.

The rewrite of ASE and APE (via the resolution to RI-215) addresses the use of application notes in Protection Profile.
