Scope & limitations
The foreword describes limited high-level evidence and specialist experience; the guidance is offered as a reference, not a requirement to follow. Some dates in the English translation differ from the Japanese original; key details should be checked against it. Neither the foreword nor web publication date establishes when all content was last updated.
