A.2.9
Appendices
Any lengthy matter, which would not add value in the body of the document, but is
of referential value in the use of the document, shall be given as an appendix.
As far as possible, appendices shall be avoided.
A.2.10
Enumeration
It is preferable to enumerate items in a bulleted form than to run them along.
However, if the number of items is three or less, they may run along in the
sentence itself unless for some reason bulleting is preferred. When the
enumeration runs along in a sentence, each of the items is suffixed with a
comma and the conjunction 'and' shall precede the last item.
When bulleting is used to enumerate items, the enumeration shall be preceded
by such introductory words as, 'consisting of', 'as follows', 'conditions are', etc.
and also by a dash (-). No bullet list shall stand-alone without any introduction.
Bullets shall be numbered, using numerals. For subsequent levels bullets,
decimal notation as explained for paragraph numbering will be used. Example—If
the first level bullet starts as 1, the second level bullet will be 1.1; the third level
bullet will be 1.1.1 and so on.
Each bullet shall be confined to enumerate one single item or idea. Running
enumeration shall be avoided as far as possible in bullets. When an idea is
enumerated on a bullet, it shall be restricted to one or two sentences.
A.2.11
References
Care should be taken to avoid references to material that can change in time.
However, exceptions to this guideline are international and local standards and
organizational process documents and when these documents are referenced; their
version number will also be included in the reference. When such reference is
made, such introductory words as, 'conforming to', 'adhering to', 'in accordance
with', 'as prescribed in' and 'as given in' shall precede its designation. If this
reference is only for information, the word 'see' shall be used before the
designation. The words 'as per' shall be avoided when quoting from a document.
