Comment : | Providing a base model for the vendor to elaborate would assure minimal functional requirements to be met (e.g., the vendor will provide a procedure for what to do in the case that a machine breaks, since this contingency is in the base model provided by the standards). Using the language of the model to create formal requirements would lend assurance that these procedures meet some minimal standards (e.g., a machine is never serviced by unauthenticated repairmen). A clear standardized exposition of such procedures would also be invaluable in training administration officials.
