Current operating limitations address this:
"If the aircraft will have removable externally mounted equipment, it must be test flown in all configurations.
An entry must be made in the aircraft records indicating the configurations flight-tested, unless the original manufacturer’s flight test data for that equipment is included in the aircraft limitations. If relying on the manufacturer’s data, the aircraft and load must conform to the manufacturer’s design and be maintained to manufacturer’s instructions. Otherwise, the aircraft owner/operator must conduct test flights in all configurations and make an entry in the aircraft records indicating the configurations flight-tested. (40)"
