    ITU-T Recommendation A.12


    Identification and layout of ITU-T Recommendations

    Summary
    This Recommendation provides information on the means on assigning the letter series designations
    for ITU-T Recommendations.

    Source
    ITU-T Recommendation A.12 was prepared by TSAG (2001-2004) and approved by the World
    Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (Florianpolis, 5-14 October 2004).

    ITU-T Rec. A.12 (10/2004)

    FOREWORD
    The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of
    telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of
    ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing
    Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
    The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years,
    establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on
    these topics.
    The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1.
    In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are
    prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

    NOTE
    In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a
    telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.
    Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain
    mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the
    Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words "shall" or some
    other obligatory language such as "must" and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The
    use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party.

    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS


    ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may
    involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence,
    validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others
    outside of the Recommendation development process.
    As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property,
    protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors
    are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the
    TSB patent database.

    1

    Scope

    The Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group (TSAG) periodically reviews the methods
    of identifying and laying out Recommendations as well as the Author's Guide for drafting ITU-T
    Recommendations, prepared and updated by the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau
    (TSB), providing thus detailed guidelines on format and style. This Recommendation provides
    principles that are applied in identifying and laying out Recommendations.

    Identification and layout of Recommendations

    2.1
    All Recommendations of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) shall
    be numbered. The number of each Recommendation shall have a letter prefix referring to the series
    as well as a number identifying the particular subject in that series. The numbering shall be done in
    a manner which permits clear, unequivocal identification and facilitates electronic storage of
    information concerning the Recommendation. The Recommendation number shall be associated on
    the cover with the date of approval in the format YYYY. The month may be added if required for
    uniqueness.
    2.2

    The scope of the series identified by the letter shall be as follows:

    2.3

    Recommendations in each series shall be classified in sections according to subject.

    2.4
    The title of each Recommendation should be concise (preferably no more than one line) but
    unique, meaningful and unambiguous. The details identifying the precise intent and coverage
    should be contained in the text where possible (e.g. under scope).
    2.5
    The date of formal approval of the Recommendation, the study group(s) responsible for its
    approval and a record of revisions shall be clearly indicated.
    2.6
    The author of a new or revised Recommendation shall provide, in front of the main body of
    the Recommendation, a summary as outlined in the "Author's Guide for drafting ITU-T
    Recommendations" prepared by TSB. The author may also provide other up-front elements such as
    background information and keywords as provided for in the Author's Guide.
    2.7
    The "Author's Guide for drafting ITU-T Recommendations" prepared by TSB should be
    applied in drafting new Recommendations, and, wherever practicable, in revising existing
    Recommendations.
