ES-1.2 ES-1.2 Module UG (User's Guide)
ES-1.2.1
The User's Guide Module contains introductory material relevant to users of Volume 4. Specifically, it covers (i) the status and application of the Rulebook (with specific reference to Volume 4); (ii) the structure and design of the Rulebook; and (iii) its maintenance, version control and access. These topics are covered in Chapters UG-1 to UG-3 respectively.
ES-1.2.2
The Module contains mostly Guidance material — that is, material that is not binding on licensees, but instead simply helps inform particular Rules or provides other general information. Most of the Guidance material in Module UG consists of general information.
ES-1.2.3
The only Rules are contained in Sections UG-A.1, UG-1.2 and UG-1.4. Amongst other things, these specify that the Module has the legal status of a Directive, that Rules have a binding effect, and that the contents of Volume 4 apply from its date of issue in April 2006, subject to any transition arrangements specified in Module ES (see Chapter ES-2).
Amended: July 2007
