Where it is used
On the clause register
What it does
- The 2026 edition is the one in the system. The planning clauses and the split management review are in it.
- Transition to May 2029 is visible as a date, not a footnote in a slide.
- Aspects, obligations, and the evidence sit on the clause.
On the record
- Turn the standard on only if you hold it, or you are working towards it.
- A clause is compliant, partial, a gap, or not applicable. Evidence is linked.
- An AI draft does not count toward readiness until a named person signs it.
