The LCH should be read in conjunction with the Licence . The LCH provides mandatory compliance verification criteria that the licensee must follow to meet the conditions in the Licence , operational limits and information regarding delegation of authority and applicable versions of documents referenced in the Licence . Furthermore, the LCH provides non-mandatory recommendations and guidance on how to achieve compliance with the conditions and criteria.
