Source register

Consequential claims trace to a source below; calculator figures trace to a stated formula or to values you enter. Dates keep their original meaning: published is the publisher’s first-publication date, updated is its visible revision date and accessed is when the source was checked for this site. A missing published or updated date is left unstated rather than guessed.

Order of authority: regulator guidance first, then government research, standards catalogues, technical bodies and manufacturer examples. HSE is cited first wherever it and another source cover the same ground. External links open the publishers’ own pages; their content may change after the accessed date shown.

Register policy

NO SOURCE · NO CLAIM
  • A claim that cannot be traced to a register entry, a stated formula or a figure you entered does not appear on this desk.
  • In-page citations ([S1], [S2]…) number the sources per page, in that page’s register order; the IDs above are the stable desk-wide names.
  • Where a source page changes after its accessed date, the publisher’s live page wins; the desk’s revision policy for catching up is on the methodology sheet.
  • No source-register entry is sponsored; inclusion reflects its evidence role rather than a paid placement.
