All work must comply with relevant Federal and State or Territory legislative or regulatory requirements.

Body growth is:

the change in shape and/or increase in dimension of the neck, torso and limbs which is independent of growth in stature

Grading methodology must include:

allometric or 3D apportion of grade increments

positioning of constant or stack point through growth areas of body

Shaped grading is:

a construction-based method of grading that reduces or grows a base pattern in height, girth and shape and distributes grade increments at points and in values that reflect a third dimension to a flat 2D pattern
