I would disagree with that.
The regulations do *not* in any way state that passing any load testing regime indicates that the car is legal.
The latest regulations April 2021 (unchanged over recent years)
,
3.2.2 [....] all aerodynamic components or bodywork influencing
the car’s aerodynamic performance must be rigidly secured and immobile with respect to their frame of reference"
"3.15.1 Introduction of load/deflection tests
In order to ensure that the requirements of Article 3.2.2 are respected, the FIA reserves the right to introduce further load/deflection tests on any part of the bodywork which appears to be (or is suspected of), moving whilst the car is in motion."
ISTM that the load test regulations are designed to ensure compliance not to legitimise.
