They're apparently for things that are already heavily tested in prior models and haven't changed.

Like the cockpit door is the same in a bunch of planes, or something, no need to test it in every plane model, etc.

Fair enough, that sounds very reasonable.

Although the exemption Boeing was after certainly doesn't:

the exemption Boeing had sought "involves an anti-ice system that can overheat and cause the engine nacelle to break apart and fall off."
