What to do

AWACS interpretation · not source language

What to review: No change is mandatory, so first look at which refactored Guide chapters and updated cross-references affect your work, and note that the record states no requirements changed.

QC implications

  • No new requirements to test, since the record states no requirements changed.
  • QC may spot-check that internal references to the refactored Guide chapters point to the updated cross-references.
