the context is about to rating sth to see if it complies with certain standard.
" A(one kind of condition) will be considered on their merits " means A will
affect the final rating in a positive way or negative way?

neither positive nor negative.
it means that "A will be considered based solely on its inherent positive or
negative aspects - without being affected by other factors".
