Citation Style — Reference
Requirements & Deviations
- Always include: Source_Doc, Doc_No, Page, Clause/Note.
- Preferred format (inline): “{Doc Name} ({Doc_No}), p.{Page}, {Note/Clause}”
- Offers: “{Offer_Doc}, p./line {Offer_Page_or_Line}”
Examples
- Datasheet reference: “Project Datasheet (2-MM5173-40-SPE-1907-00), p.2, Note 7”
- Instrumentation spec: “ADNOC Instrumentation Specification (4422-JK-SE-000000180001_00), p.12, Sec 4.3”
- Offer: “Q-32859-1 (Hughes Offer), line 154”
- Evidence Pack in Decision_Notes: “EP-001 Hughes_EMC_Declaration_IEC61000_61326_NAMUR_NE21.pdf — Parked” | “EP-002 Chiller_ATEX_IECEx_CoC_IIB_T4.pdf — Attached”
- Repo-relative path example: “Reference Examples/Q-32705 - Saipem COMP3/Chiller Unit Datasheet Zone-1.md, lines 64–66”
- Section_Title + Page/Line example: “200-51-IN-SPC-00021_00 (Instrumentation), Sec Outdoor Ingress, lines 1721–1725”
- Variant‑available example (generic): “Offer Datasheet (Doc_No), Availability note, lines X–Y: ‘Available as [Variant A] or [Variant B] — please specify preference’.”
- Referenced‑but‑missing declaration example (generic): “Quality Pack (Doc_No), Sec [Title], lines X–Y — declaration/register referenced but not attached (RFI raised).”
- Materials thickness example: “Project Spec (4439-SS-SS-008006_0), Sec [Title], lines X–Y — min panel thickness 2.0 mm” vs “Vendor GAD (EXP-MH-14K-1500-GA), notes, lines 420–424 — 1.5 mm panel”.
- Coating system example: “Project Painting Spec (Doc_No), A‑22, lines X–Y — RAL 6032, 80 µm DFT” vs “Vendor datasheet, finish section, lines X–Y — 60 µm DFT”.
- Dimension/tolerance example: “Spec (Doc_No), lines X–Y — ±0.5 mm” vs “GAD (DWG No.), dim table, lines X–Y — ±1.0 mm”.
Matrix Fields
- Source_Section_or_Note: free text (e.g., Note 7; Sec 4.3)
- Offer_Page_or_Line: number/string (e.g., 154; 2-11)
Guardrails
- Verbatim in Requirement_text; no summaries.
- No claim without a citation; block acceptance if missing.
- Use repo-relative paths; avoid legacy placeholders.
- Prefer precise line ranges (re-locate exact line before external share if approximate).
- For materials/dimensions deltas, cite both sides (RFQ requirement and vendor baseline) with line ranges.
