By default, MISRA C:2012 uses the term "Declaration" to include both defining and non-defining declarations. For example rules 8.3, 8.8, 8.10. It also applies to rule 8.4, though multiple "defining declarations" are banned by rule 8.6.
"Defining declarations" are also referred to as "definitions" in some rules. For example rule 8.6
In the case of rules 8.5 and 8.11 the amplification is used to clarify that the rule only applies to non-defining declarations. An amplification was used in order so that the headline of the rule could be simplified.
