A number of explanations constitute complements to the covenant and aim at informing the readers and industries about the actual view on and interpretation of various covenant articles. These explanations are enlargements based on progressing insight and experience. They are dynamic and can be updated intermediately. That's why they are not distributed in printed form, but can be downloaded in the most recent state of the art. Most explanations are available in English.

Given the complexity and scope of the matter it is not always possible to understand the information on the "how" and "why" of a certain approach in the explanations. For additional questions and more background information we refer in the first place to your representative in the Commission Benchmarking. Of course the Verification Office, that is charged with the implementation of the explanations, can also provide you with the necessary information and explanation.
