2. Drafting principles

• Priority on 58 agreement• Sheets in the Resolution• Requirements in the Regulations• A minimum of general provisions in the Resolution; although

sometimes a requirement can also be considered as a characteristic, e.g. colour of light

• Minimum of references to UN Regulations• Removal of redundant specifications• Improving consistency over technologies;

e.g. groupings of categories, title and scope of Reg’s

• Dynamic reference to (revisions) of the Resolution
