The tyres should be stabilized in performance prior to testing, which means that no evolution of the μpeak value in test runs should be detectable; in any case there will be an ex-post verification according to paragraph 4.2.8.2. of this Annex. In all cases, tyre designed tread depth and designed tread block or rib integrity shall not change significantly with break-in, which means the pace and "severity" of the break-in needs to be carefully controlled to avoid such changes.
