APPENDIX A
UFGS ORGANIZATION GUIDANCE
The following guidance is based on the paragraph titles and sequence recommended in
the CSI Manual of Practice. This format has been adopted by the agencies supporting
the SpecsIntact software. This arrangement will be used to the extent applicable in the
preparation of UFGS by eliminating paragraphs, which do not apply, and adding
additional paragraphs as necessary. It is important that UFGS authors understand
that the paragraphs listed below are not mandatory. Use only those paragraphs
which are applicable to the subject being specified, and add any applicable
requirements not listed. It is important that the sequence of information provided
herein be followed even when the paragraph titles are adjusted to fit the subject matter
being specified. The terms "article," "paragraph," and "subparagraph" have meanings
within CSI; however, when referring to these parts in UFGS, the terms "paragraph" and
"subparagraph" are used since they are common to other writing.
Paragraph and subparagraph numbering to the third level shall be completely numeric.
Below the third level, use an alternating alpha-numeric item designation. For example:
1.1 PARAGRAPH (1st level)
1.1.1 Paragraph (2nd level)
1.1.1.1 Subparagraph (3rd level levels beyond this level should be avoided)
a. Item
(1) Item
(a) Item
1. Item
Progression beyond this level should not be used.
