My understanding would be: yes, that’s a valid test.
It appears quite a simple rule, in spite of all the confusion upthread: in order to board an EK flight you need to produce a negative result from a test for which the sample was taken less than 96 hours before boarding and by an approved test centre in the country that the flight departs from.

Anyone got a different interpretation?
