The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy,

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
