Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 28 days
- Trigger
- Service of a request in writing by either party to make the appointment
- Counting

- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
