Which tests must be passed for hardware certification

I want to sign a camera driver with Microsoft, and I have setup a test system.
After creating the project in HLK studio, and selecting the hardware from "device manager list", I see the list of the tests in "Tests" tab. One of the tests that cannot pass is "ApiValidator for ARM64EC" which doesn't surprise me because the driver is not designed, and compiled for ARM.
That's why it seems to me that may be we are not supposed to pass all the listed tests.
So can you please clarify:
1- if we need to pass all the tests?
2- if the answer to question 1 is no, how can we know which tests need to be passed for Microsoft certification?

    There are 4 playlists available in CompatPlaylist for 21H2
    If I load "HLK Version 21H2 CompatPlaylist x64 ARM64" playlist, "ApiValidator for ARM64EC" test doesn't exist in tests list.
    Given the fact that other three 21H2 playlists don't have any test for my hardware (the test list is empty in HLK studio if I select them), can I conclude that I just need to pass all (please let me know if I have to pass just some of them) the tests in "HLK Version 21H2 CompatPlaylist x64 ARM64" playlist, to be able to certify my hardware by Microsoft?

    Note: I need to certify for Windows 11, Windows 10
