Technically because of the abilities they chose they are advanced. But they don't have a CR increase, as they don't have an RP over 14, so they can be played from level 1.

There is no set in stone rules about when you increase their CR from 0 to 1, 1 to 2, or from 2 to 3+.
From what it looks like, all that core rule book races aim for 10 racial points. When they get to 20 they need to be considered advanced. Considering this, I would say a safe bet that when the race build reaches or surpasses 15 RP points a GM might want to increase them to +1 CR.
The other reason they need to be considered advanced is if they have too many abilities from one category they will increase their category out of standard. At this moment you have no real conclusion on what effect the categories actually do other than worn the GM how much past the intended rules for a standard race is to give them a clue if the race is too overpowered or not. So you could technically make all races monstrous but so long as their RP cost isn't over 10 then they are good.
What are aasimars and tieflings? It's a difficult question because aasimars and tieflings are impossible to describe.
One might ask the same about birds. What are birds?
We just don't know.

Wait WHAT? Where does it say on the Playtest PDF that your party has to face tougher monsters if your race is built on 14 RP or over?

I have a better solution. Increase the number of abilities each power level category of race can have. Better idea than just labeling the Aasimar and Tiefling as advanced no (and thus forcing lots and LOTS of players to adjust their campaigns for higher level encounters when it REALLY isn't needed).

The Aasimar takes Daylight which is a 3rd level spell. The Standard Trait Spell-Like Ability Stops at 2nd level so technically they are not a standard race. I hope that helps.

Ya know, I've never really understood why Aasimar/Tieflings get Daylight/Darkness as Spell-like Abilities. One would think Bless/Bane would be more appropriate.
Dudes, the Drow Noble doesn't change CR, aasimar and tiefling don't either.

That would be cool it would also drop the price of the Aasimar by 2 points bringing it closer to what it should be, for a standard race, I may house rule this.

The play test says that with 20 PR equals 1 CR.
10 Standard says 0 CR.
So as there are races that are higher than 10 CR without upping the CR, it is just an assumption that 15 or 16 RPs would up their effective to 1.
This is just my conclusion/assumption.
You can always use Umbral Reavers' idea, charging character points to become a specific race. Just add 10 points to the campaign base and set the individual Races' as more purchases. Human 10 points. Aasimar 12 points. Dwarf 13 points. Halfling 7 points. etc.
