For each of the machines, there is a master agree¬ment with the respective machine manufacturer or supplier, which regulates, among other things, in which cases a software update of the integrated components must be carried out. It also specifies who is responsible for the new update, how exactly a software update may be installed on the machine and which final release tests ensure the safe use of the machine after the update is installed.
