Please reword the above to something that is easier to read (and grammatically correct). I also think you may want to structure it from big picture to small picture. So you should first mention that EBBR will need multiple compliance test pieces to run and only then mention SCT as the method to verify UEFI compliance.
+EBBR is very flexible and many features are platform dependent. +Therefore platform owner can decide, to implement and test optional features +with UEFI SCT.
I think a lot of the requirements that get put into this document can be generically verified, so I wouldn't wave it off that quickly as "it's flexible, so someone may or may not test things". Instead, I'd rather like to see a reference in here that a test kit for EBBR is in development and will probably not be finished in time for EBBR 1.0, but is expected at a later point.

Sure, I will reword

Could you help me here, which other compliance test you are thinking

I meant here, feature like RTC, Secure boot etc are marked as optional But mandatory features (which are part of appendix above) must be verified.
Instead, I'd rather like to see a reference in here that a test kit for EBBR is in development and will probably not be finished in time for EBBR 1.0, but is expected at a later point.
Having test kit a great idea, We can leverage from SBBR ACS. If there is no objection then we can start with EBBR CS [compliance test suites], UEFI SCT will be part of this ?

I don't think we have any yet beyond SCT, but I'm sure we will have to have more, so the section should account for that :).

If you want to take the lead on this, be my guest :).
