clauses read like requirements to me, but are not ds/ecs/sc16/sc16docs/Shared%20Docu
phrased as such. Have the TG scrutinize these ments/TG2%20-
closely and decide if they need to be requirements %2016ST%2C%2016B%2C%2016WL%2
(need a “shall” statement). If not, they will NOT be C%2016SB%2C%2016WS/16B/API%201
part of any audit and can be ignored by the user of 6B%201st%20Edition_color%20coding.
