Guidance/advisory material

Guidance/advisory material comes in the form of industry best practice. It usually supplements the prescriptive and objective standards and is intended to provide guidance on how those requirements can be accomplished. It provides a means of comphance but, most importantly, not the only means of compliance. 

Thus the primary purpose of this publication (henceforth referred to as the Advisory Material) is to provide guidance to users on proven and acceptable ways of complying with and demonstrating comphance with the Regulations. It must be emphasized that the text is not to be construed as being uniquely prescriptive. It offers recommendations on ways of complying but it does not lay down the only way to comply with any specific provision.
