4 Framework and structure
4.1 General
Where necessary the technical specification may be subdivided into several parts (e.g. EN XXXX-001,
EN XXXX-002, etc., where Part 001 is always the general part).In such cases all general requirements should be incorporated in Part 001 (general part) and the
specific requirements in Part 002 onwards (specific parts).4.2 Required elements
The technical specification shall include the following elements in the given order:
Published as ASD-STAN Standard at the date of publication of this document (see www.asd-stan.org).
Published as ASD-STAN Technical Report at the date of publication of this standard (see www.asd-stan.org).
