Hi Stephan, NIST SP 800-22-rev1a and NIST SP 800-90B are used together to evaluate the amount of min entropy the source provides, and not to decide if the source has passed the tests or failed. See
https://github.com/usnistgov/SP800-90B_EntropyAssessment The goal is often to make sure the input entropy is more than the entropy we expect from the output.

See FIPS 140-2 IG 7.15 which explicitly references SP800-22.
