Does that imply that the shop mode configuration is not subject to this requirement?

The regulation specifies that to be able to claim the 10% allowance, displays shall implement an ABC function compliant with the characteristics referenced in the regulation in the 'normal configuration' available to the end-user. 

The shop configuration is not intended for the end-user, but for demonstration purposes in highly luminous environments specific to retailer shops. Therefore, the regulation does not require the shop configuration to have an ABC function enabled by default provided it is not intended to be the 'normal configuration'.
