An authorised identification may only be used in compliance with the terms of the IPC Handbook, the IPC Manufacturer Identification Guidelines for the London 2012 Paralympic Games (distributed by the IPC to all NPCs and IPSFs) or as further approved in writing by the IPC. The IPC reserves the right to prohibit the use of any authorised identification on any given item in order to ensure the spirit of the principles of the IPC Handbook and the IPC Manufacturer Identification Guidelines for the London 2012 Paralympic Games are respected. Below, please find the sport-specific guidelines from the IPC Manufacturer Identification Guidelines for the London 2012 Paralympic Games. However, all NPCs are strongly advised to refer to the complete IPC Manufacturer Identification Guidelines document for detailed information and instruction on the rules governing clothing, shoes, accessories, sporting equipment and mobility equipment at the Games.

The position of the label should be at the lowest level, close to any edge seam of the swimsuit, to allow for technical officials to check the label when the swimsuit is worn by an athlete. Athlete Substitution Rules Athlete substitutions will only be considered for an NPC if the substitution is in the same sport, event and sport class. Substitute athletes must have met the qualification criteria for the respective event(s), and must also have signed the IPC Eligibility Code Form. In addition, the athlete s NPC must have submitted an Accreditation Application Form for the substitute athlete by the deadline of 20 April Competition: Essentials Substitutions may only be made for athletes who withdraw due to injury, illness or other special circumstances, prior to completion of the Sport Entries sign-off conducted during the NPC s DRM. Regardless of the situation, all substitutions are subject to final review and approval by the IPC. Absolutely no substitutions will be permitted after the DRM. NPCs must complete an Official Substitution Application Form, which will be available on request through the LOCOG Sport Entries team, for any proposed substitution between the Final Entries deadline (6 August 2012) and their DRM. NPCs must return the completed form to the LOCOG Sport Entries team for consideration and processing. Full details on all aspects of the sport entries process, including information on the procedures if an athlete s sport class changes during the Classification Evaluation Period, are available in the London 2012 Paralympic Games Sport Entries Manual. Classification The purpose of the Paralympic sport classification system is to minimise the impact of impairment on the outcome of competition, so that the athletes who succeed in competition are those with the best anthropometry, physiology and psychology and who have enhanced them to best effect through hard training and quality coaching. To achieve this, athletes are grouped into classes according to how much their impairment impacts on their sport-specific performance. It is the collective responsibility of each athlete and their NPC, through the Chef de Mission and the relevant team officials, to be informed about and comply with all classification policies and procedures relating to the London 2012 Paralympic Games and IPC Swimming classification rules. Each NPC is also responsible for ensuring that international classification resulting in a sport class status of Review or Confirmed is obtained for all athletes who are intending to participate in the London 2012 Paralympic Games. NPCs are responsible for verifying the classification status of their athletes before their Delegation Registration Meeting London 2012 Paralympic Team Leaders Guide Swimming 17

The use of this footage has to be in line with the IPC Policy Regarding Filming at, Access to and Use of 20 London 2012 Paralympic Team Leaders Guide Swimming

21 Paralympic Video Footage and Photography of the London 2012 Paralympic Games for NPCs. At the SVR, NPCs may request recordings of sessions in which they have an interest. Each NPC will be limited to one copy of each session. Recordings will be provided as full sessions only; there will be no facility at the SVR for editing footage within a particular session. NPCs should also note that DVDs will not be provided for events that have already finished, as the SVR facilities are designed to aid training, analysis and preparation for ongoing Paralympic competition. Competition: Essentials DVDs of particular sessions should be reserved in advance at the SVR and then collected when available. DVDs may also be available to NPCs on a walk-in basis, with no advance reservations. However, NPCs without advance reservations should be aware that there may be delays in supplying DVDs during busy periods. In some instances, footage of a particular session may not be available without an advance reservation. NPCs may take the DVDs away from the SVR for viewing elsewhere, or they may watch them in the SVR viewing stations. There are two larger viewings stations suitable for use by teams competing in team sports, and up to 10 smaller viewing stations suitable for smaller groups (for example, an athlete and a coach). Viewing stations may also be reserved in advance at the SVR. The length of each reservation will vary by sport based on the general length of competition sessions and the type of footage requested. Any viewing stations not reserved in advance will be available to NPCs without reservations on a walk-in basis. The SVR will open on 28 August, the day before the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony, and will be open every day throughout the Games. The scheduled opening hours are as follows: SVR opening hours 28 August 9 September :00 23:00 10 September :00 18:00 London 2012 Paralympic Team Leaders Guide Swimming 21
