1.1 The COP must, where possible, follow the sequence laid out in Part C "Format and Content of the COP". The pages as well as the chapters and sections must be numbered to facilitate cross-reference. Wording must be unambiguous and concise.

 

1.2 It should be indicated in the COP and on each annexure to the COP whether:
1.2.1 The annexure forms part of the COP and must be incorporated in the COP or whether aspects thereof must be incorporated in the COP; or
1.2.2 The annexure is merely attached as information for consideration in the preparation of the COP.
