This column will display the Frameworks that are applicable to each individual requirement , which will eliminate the need for multiple tables and duplicate requirements within the Standard.

...

Details of the change will be made available to Suppliers via a draft version of the Service Management Standard (please see Full Specification). Existing Suppliers need to ensure they are compliant with the changes by the Effective Date.
