Follow up from Christian indicated that while this was initially the guidance, there are now certain exceptions for content that are carved out, with additional data exceptions likely. As regulatory agency and international discussions continue, it is anticipated that certain data may be able to be defined as "self-certified" In his words, "Non-critical parts of the label or coding may be considered in the future the same way."
