Background – contains information that is essential to understanding the objectives and controls.
Objectives – state what is to be achieved and covers the range of desired outcomes to achieve a goal.
Controls – contain standards in order to achieve the objectives.
Further Information – provide supplementary references which also need compliance e.g. Camden Council’s Engineering Specifications.
