Guideline 22

Informative annexes provide information on the Act they are attached to; they are not legal instruments.

22.1. An informative annex is not legally binding, although it forms part of an Act. An informative annex may consist of documentation, reports, and so on, attached to the Act only to facilitate its interpretation, understanding and application.

Commentary:

An informative annex may consist of a document that was prepared during the legislative process, such as a legislative report.  It may also consist of a document that illustrates some aspect of the Act, either through text or graphics.  For example, an Act specifying motor vehicle driving rules may include diagrams of various driving situations.
