About this pattern
Explanation
とする means "to assume" or "to treat/regard as." 〜とするには introduces the conditions required for something to be accepted, recognized, or designated as X. It does not inherently imply that the conditions are insufficient; rather, it frames what needs to hold for the assumption or classification to stand. Often used in formal writing, contracts, or academic discussion.
