Purpose and Content of the Annex
This annex gives the criteria and the formulae used to generate values in the Q-D Tables
in Part I, Annex I-A. For each distance function, constant distance and minimum value in
the tables there is a paragraph or subparagraph in the appropriate section of this annex.
Each one records the basis of the Group's decision (specific experimental observation or
value judgement) and indicates by a number the appropriate reference in the bibliography
at the end of this Annex.
