Editing Evaluation Assurance Level (section)

=== Augmentation of EAL requirements ===

In some cases, the evaluation may be ''augmented'' to include assurance requirements beyond the minimum required for a particular EAL. Officially this is indicated by following the EAL number with the word '''augmented''' and usually with a list of codes to indicate the additional requirements. As shorthand, vendors will often simply add a "plus" sign (as in '''EAL4+''') to indicate the augmented requirements.
