SM tests with rare semileptonic charm meson decays are based on an approximate CP–symmetry, a superior GIM–mechanism, angular distributions, lepton-universality and lepton flavor conservation. We analyze the complete set of null test observables in $$D \rightarrow \pi \ell \ell ^{(\prime )}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mo>→</mml:mo> <mml:mi>π</mml:mi> <mml:mi>ℓ</mml:mi> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>ℓ</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mo>′</mml:mo> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> and $$D_s \rightarrow K \ell \ell ^{(\prime )}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>D</mml:mi> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>→</mml:mo> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mi>ℓ</mml:mi> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>ℓ</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mo>′</mml:mo> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> decays, $$\ell ^{(\prime )}=e, \mu $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>ℓ</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mo>′</mml:mo> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mi>e</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>μ</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> , and find large room for new physics safely above the SM contribution.
