The order of the Sections must still remain in strict numerical order, and, if the Part has Subparts, the Subparts must remain in strict alphabetical order and the Sections must remain in strict numerical order. Therefore, when more than six Sections are being renumbered within one Part, or when Sections within Subparts are renumbered into other Subparts thereby throwing off the strict alphabetical order of the Subparts or the strict numerical order of the Sections, recodification is required rather than renumbering. In this instance and for renumbering Sections of one Part to another Part or renumbering an entire Part to a new Part number, please refer to "Recodification".

A maximum of four digits may be used after the decimal point to identify Sections of a Part. Expansion room should be left between Section numbers for future additions to the Part.
