Retest is required. Subsystems are generally tested as components or not at all. If tested as a component, component tests usually do not cover all of the tests required of systems. So, to be sold as a stand-alone item, it must have ALL of the tests done.

Systems must have all the tests done. Even though the "subsystems" here (System 1 and Product A) have stand-alone compliances, you are making a new product "Super-system 2" and so it requires retest. We get around this because we test System 1 and have the customer place their order for Product A directly to the other manufacturer. Granted, we take Product A in house and verify configuration and functionality but they do not buy it from us so we are "off-the-hook" It's a matter of semantics and translations. > > I expect quite a diverse set of responses to these questions, so let's have 'em.
