Note: The HCF should be aware of federal, provincial/territorial, and municipal regulatory requirements applying to O however, there can be other connections (e.g., mechanical, electrical, computerization, telemetry, etc.). Problems can arise when different departments of the HCF each assume that the other is looking after a particular system. Among the tasks involved in planning an O "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (nonmandatory) to define their application.
