Who it applies to
It applies when all of these are true:
- Service is likely to be accessed by children under 18
What engineering work it implies
Sample acceptance criteria Landfall generates for this obligation:
- Every required section of the referenced annex/standard exists as its own addressable document (an empty section is visible, a missing one fails)
- A machine-readable manifest records the documented version and the documentation revision it corresponds to
- An automated check fails when the documented version changes and no section was updated with it
- Each document records an owner and the date and person of its last review — a review date with no reviewer is rejected
- A dated snapshot is archived on each release so the version that applied on any past date can be produced
