VS-6509 Common Criteria Certification for EAL3

So this was a question I had to punt to the partner helpline and below is the response I got:

Below is what I have found, but I believe this is the document where you found the certificate for 12.2(18)SXF11.

Below is some information I found from our internal resources regarding Common Criteria:

There is no targeting for new Common Criteria update for Sup720 at this
time.  We will have to rely on 12.2(33)SXF with the Sup720-3B.  For a new round of Common Criteria, we are targeting the Sup2T by June 2012.  The EAL4 designation is no longer being certified in the US and several other Common Criteria certifying countries like UK, Australia, etc. so we will have to go with what is offered in the US which is a EAL1/EAL2 based Network Device Protection Profile Common Criteria
Certification.  So going forward, the EAL4/3/2/1 designations won't mean anything with relation to Common Criteria.

You can refer to the link below for more information.

Hopefully this wont be too relevant any more because the Sup-720 is end of life and the SUP2T is the way forward but it's good to keep a not of it!
