Applicable Standards

DOE-STD-1075-94

5.4.4.2 Applicable Standards. Following each Discussion section, the author

should list the standards that provide endorsed methods for implementing some or

all of the requirements discussed in the previous "Discussion" section. The

standards listed may include Government and non-Government standards, as well

as those developed and issued as part of the DOE Technical Standards Program.

The use of previously developed standards is encouraged as a means to develop

more consistent programs and reduce the costs associated with new standards

development. The author may tailor the endorsement of the standards by indicating

any exceptions or additions to the information in the standards or by pointing out the

specific parts of each listed standard that contain acceptable principles, practices,

and approaches.

Standards should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. The format of

the standards referenced should adhere to the GPO style manual. In some cases, it

may be more appropriate to provide the applicable standards in a single combined

list at the end of the body of the document or in an appendix rather than in separate

lists following each Discussion section.

5.4.4.3 Supplemental Guidance Documents. A list of supplemental guidance

documents containing pertinent information may be included following the Applicable

Standards section (or following the Discussion section if an Applicable Standards

section is not included). Whenever practical, specific citations should be made to

applicable sections, paragraphs, tables, or figures within the listed supplemental

guidance documents. The author should also indicate the degree to which their use

is endorsed.

The titles of the supplemental guidance documents should be numbered

consecutively with Arabic numerals. The format of the citations should adhere to the

GPO style manual.

In some cases, it may be more appropriate to provide the list of applicable guidance

documents in a single combined list at the end of the guide rather than in separate

lists within each section of the guide.
