In referencing Codex documents, CX, which stands for Codex, should appear first, followed by the subject code reference, followed by the year in which the session will be held (i.e. not necessarily the year in which the document is prepared), and finally followed by the consecutive number of the document.
For example documents prepared for a session of the Codex Regional Coordinating Committee for Africa, meeting in 1994, would be identified by the series CX/AFRICA 94/1, 2, 3 etc. The only exception is the Executive Committee in which the session number is also identified: for example CX/EXEC 94/41/1, 2, 3 etc.
