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, where possible, to facilitate cross-referencing. Wording must be unambiguous and concise.

 

2. It should be indicated in the COP and on each annexure to the COP whether:
2.1 The annexure forms part of the COP and must be complied with or incorporated in the COP or whether aspects thereof must be complied with or incorporated in the COP; or
2.2 The annexure is merely attached as information for consideration in the preparation of the COP (i.e. compliance is discretionary).

 

3. When annexures are used, the numbering should be preceded by the letter allocated to that particular annexure and the numbering should start at one again. (e.g. 1, 2, 3 and A1, A2, A3).

 

4. Whenever possible illustrations, tables, graphs and the like, should be used to avoid long descriptions and/or explanations.

 

5. When reference has been made in the text to publications or reports, references to these sources must be included in the text as footnotes or side notes as well as in a separate bibliography.
