About this plate
PERIOD EVIDENCE, STATED ONCE FOR ALL THE PREFIXED TYPES: reg. 8 closes with the note "R-034-2013,s.7; R-012-2025,s.4", so the section as it now reads was substituted by R-034-2013 (in force 1 May 2013) and amended by R-012-2025. Every prefixed series below carries the same 2013 upper bound for the same reason and does not repeat this note.

Legal basis and sources
