Bearing in mind the whole text it is obvious that in the text under study data processor are going to be allocated as commissions . Hence the french wording " répartition au pourcentage".

mandat donné
Habituellement, commissioning, c'est « donner pouvoir/mission à/déléguer/mandater » (dans les forces armées, ce serait « confier un commandement »). Cf. :
a. donner pouvoir or mission à • déléguer
■ he was commissioned to inquire into… : il a été chargé de faire une enquête sur… (R&C)
Et selon le RGPD, les data processors sont les « sous-traitants des données ».
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/FR/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...
Or, le RGPD n'utilise pas commission(ing) pour évoquer la nomination des sous-traitants dans sa version en anglais, mais on trouve « faire appel » en français :
« Lorsqu'un traitement doit être effectué pour le compte d'un responsable du traitement, celui-ci fait uniquement appel à des sous-traitants qui présentent des garanties suffisantes... » (art. 28). La version anglaise de l'art. 28 utilise use.
Il semblerait donc que votre texte introduise une notion différente.
D'où peut-être dans votre cas :
...to the extent required to satisfy any interpretations,... or other legal developments concerning the GDPR requirements for the commissioning of data processors in general or...
>
« ... dans la mesure où l'exigent l'interprétation,... relatives aux exigences du RGPD en matière de mandat donné aux sous-traitants des données en général ou... »

« en matière de mandat », ça fait un peu « serpents qui sifflent sur... »

1) « le terme exact que je ne trouve nulle part » Moi non plus, à part le « faire appel » dont je parle plus haut, sans compter que commissioning ne s'y trouve pas non plus. D'où mon impression que votre texte ne suit pas exactement le RGPD et à mon sens qu'il y ajoute une notion qui n'y est pas et qu'il faut donc traduire.
2) « la présence du contrat est impérieuse » Je suis d'accord avec l'impérieuse présence du contrat de désignation, mais je pense que « mandat donné » implique nécessairement l'existence d'un contrat. À moins qu'il existe des mandats qui ne font pas l'objet d'un écrit ?

Note added at 3 hrs (2019-11-09 10:22:37 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Correction sous forme de PS: il existe bien des mandats verbaux, même si ça ne s'applique probablement pas ici. Quoi qu'il en soit, un mandat est un contrat (le « pouvoir » + le « document » le cas échéant).
Mais c'est oublier en fait qu'un mandat est donné dans le cadre de l'accomplissement d'actes juridiques, ce qui ne couvre probablement pas le traitement des données.
D'où modification de ma suggestion :
concerning the GDPR requirements for the commissioning of data processors in general

« concernant les exigences du RGPD relatives aux délégations de pouvoirs* des sous-traitants en général »
* Elles passent nécessairement par une forme de contrat et couvrent le fait qu'ils sont nommés pour agir.

commissioning of data processors
sous-traitance / donner en sous-traitance le traitement des données personnelles
"commissioning of data processors" on its own give the impression that it's about selecting one "data processor" from those available, but if you look at the whole of
GDPR requirements for the commissioning of data processors
it's in fact about the whole process, not only WHO will do it, but also HOW it will be done.
HERE it's simply about "subcontracting / outsourcing" the processing of data under the GDPR rules.
I don't see any need to dwell on fine points of what is "commissioning" when here it is plainly used to mean "outsourcing".

GDPR Processing
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) offers a uniform, Europe-wide possibility for so-called ‘commissioned data processing’, which is the gathering, processing or use of personal data by a processor in accordance with the instructions of the controller based on a contract.
The relevant regulations for commissioned data processing already apply, if the processing is connected to activities of an establishment within the EU. This means that it is sufficient if either the controller or the processor operates an establishment in the EU, and the processing takes place in context of its activities. One has to differentiate between processing and joint control (Art. 26 GDPR), where both parties jointly define the purposes and means for the data processing and are thus also jointly responsible for these.
In a controller-processor relationship, the latter is only allowed to process personal data based on the documented instructions from the controller. The processor cannot engage another processor to help fulfil a specific contract, without the prior specific or general written authorisation of the respective controller. In case of a general authorisation, the processor has to inform him about any relevant changes regarding the processing.
In most cases, commissioned data processing proceeds based on a contract. Art. 28(3) GDPR sets forth its minimum requirements. The contract must contain, among other things, what type of personal data will be processed, as well as the object and purpose of the processing. In addition, there are further obligations for the processor. For example, he must also maintain a record of the processing activities which includes the names and contact data of each controller he is working for, as well as the processing categories which are conducted for them. Furthermore, the index must include, if applicable, the transfer of personal data to third countries and, if possible, a general description of technical and organisational measures. The controller must ensure, in selecting the processor, that it has implemented sufficient technical and organisational measures to ensure that processing meets the requirements of the Regulation.
Basically, the controller is the first contact for the data subject and responsible that the data processing complies with the legal requirements. This does not mean, however, that the processor is free of liability. According to Art. 82 GDPR, he is jointly liable with the controller. However, the processor’s liability is limited as per paragraph 2 to violations of obligations which are specific to him. Both parties have the ability to exculpate themselves. To do this, they must prove that they were not responsible in any way for the event leading to the damages.

Discussion
another way of saying that it's not about just ordering a bog standard service - same for all clients - but that the "client" is directly involved in giving a kind of "custom order" [... in accordance with the instructions of the controller ...]
"the assignment of a task" yes, exactly that.
In a controller-processor relationship, the latter is only allowed to process personal data based on the documented instructions from the controller. The processor cannot engage another processor to help fulfil a specific contract, without the prior specific or general written authorisation of the respective controller."
https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/processing/
FWIW that site exists in German too (https://dsgvo-gesetz.de/themen/auftragsverarbeitung/), and the term there is "Auftragsverarbeitung" (auftrag means assignment, as in the assignment of a task).
someone "commissioning" a writer to write a book on a specific subject, on a town "commissioning" a sculptor to make a statue for some public square, or a newspaper "commissioning" someone to write an article about some event.
The main difference between "commissioning" someone to do something and just plain "ordering" some goods or services is that "commissioning" implies much more detailed instructions to the supplier, much more involvement from whoever is doing the "commissioning" - no one would "commission" something that is a generic / bog standard offering.
The way "commissioning" was used in this ST is perfectly legitimate, the problem is that "commissioning" has so many possible meanings that you really need to look at all "details".
"l'engagement de ..." is a good approximation.
Contrat synallagmatique par lequel une personne (le mandant) donne à une autre (le mandataire) le pouvoir de faire quelque chose pour elle et en son nom. - https://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/mandat
La suggestion d'Eliza pour "commissioned processor" - "sous-traitant mandataire" - (ou sous-traitant mandaté, selon le contexte) assurerait une cohérence.
L'autre option serait d'utiliser directement "...le contrat général..." (et sous-traitant contractant/retenu).
1. Désigner is used in the GDPR/RGPD for the designation of representatives and persons responsible for ensuring compliance. It's not used in reference to processors/sous-traitants (EN processor = FR sous-traitant in the GDPR/RGPD). Statutes are normally written with sufficient precision to ensure that the same word is not used with different meanings in different parts of the statute, and that should be kept in mind when translating (i.e., don't translate 2 different words with the same word).
2. Désigner doesn't have any connotation of which party bears legal responsibility, and it doesn't mean there's a contract between the two parties. But in the GDPR/RGPD, controllers that commission processors are responsible for the processors' noncompliance, there is a contract or a legal instrument governing their relationship, and processors effectively "stand in the shoes of" the controllers. "Désigner" does not capture those meanings, but anything containing "mandat" does (mandat donné, mandataire, etc.).
So Ph_B's suggestion gets my vote here.
Les parties ont le droit de demander à modifier tout élément de la présente [entente][convention] de traitement des données de sorte à satisfaire toute interprétation, ligne directrice ou ordonnance publiée par les autorités compétentes de l'Union et des États membres, les règles d’exécution nationales ou d’autres développements juridiques qui concernent les exigences du RGPD portant sur le mandat général du sous-traitant ou d’autres obligations à cet égard."
"Le traitement par un sous-traitant est régi par un contrat ou un autre acte juridique au titre du droit de l'Union ou du droit d'un État membre, qui lie le sous-traitant à l'égard du responsable du traitement, définit l'objet et la durée du traitement, la nature et la finalité du traitement, le type de données à caractère personnel et les catégories de personnes concernées, et les obligations et les droits du responsable du traitement."
On parle donc d'un mandat contractuel. D'un autre côté, le paragraphe 28 (4.) utilise "Lorsqu'un sous-traitant recrute un autre sous-traitant..." Il me semble donc que c'est celui-là qui "embauche" ou "engage".
Yes, it's not too difficult to check, but you need MORE than just the quoted text to be sure what is meant by "commissioning".
What seemed to make sense from what is immediately available didn't resist further scrutiny.
The whole point of not rushing too quickly to conclusions - however tempting it might be.
They could have simply used "subcontracted"!
It might be helpful to see if there are any other instances of 'commission' in your document, in case they shed any further light on the intended meaning here? There are at least 3 possible meanings that must not be overlooked.
