query about driver signing for 32-bit Vista

NTDEV
1

Dear Folks,

I have gone through WDK documentation, MS site and three articles on
osronline web site and have a query.

WDK documentation says

To comply with PnP device installation requirements for 32-bit versions
of Windows Vista, you can use either an SPC or a commercial release
certificate to sign a kernel-mode driver package catalog file.

Is this statement still correct or did some thing change.

Thanking in advance for all responses.

My understanding is:

1.) IF there is a WHQL test for the device class, then only a WHQL signature
will work.

2.) IF there is NOT a WHQL test for the device class, then a SPC will do.
