Section 8.20. Class says:

8.20.  Class AVP

As described in section 8.20.Class AVP,that Class AVP is used by server 
to give state information to accesses device. And Class AVP MUST be 
present in subsequent re-authorization,STR and accounting messages.

Now if application uses the base diameter messages for
re-authentication[RAR/RAA] and accounting[ACR/ACA] then these message 
definition should have Class AVP. But it is not present.

It should say:

Definition of RAR/RAA and ACR/ACA should have Class AVP, As STA message definition have.
