- Applicable version or version policy.
- Referenced section, object, or data field.
- Normative or informative status.

References may be:
Fixed references, applying to a specified version.
Controlled dynamic references, applying to the current approved version under defined compatibility conditions.
- Informative references, provided only for explanation or background.
- A change to a referenced document shall not silently change the meaning of an approved Rule.
External standards may be incorporated, but their scope, version, jurisdiction, accessibility, and relationship to System05 requirements shall be declared.

Unavailable or proprietary references shall not make essential safety requirements impossible for authorized users to understand or verify.
