CSA T2000.2:25

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard specifies the requirements and provides guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an IBS MS within the context of an organization. This Standard helps the organization to responsibly develop or use IBS to achieve goals and objectives, comply with relevant regulations, and meet the needs and expectations of interested parties. 1.2 Terminology In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
