Commentary on UCP 600




Pub no: 680
Article-by-Article Analysis by the UCP 600 Drafting Group

UCP 600, ICC's new rules on documentary credits, come into effect on 1 July 2007. Now, members of the Drafting Group that produced the new UCP 600 have collaborated to produce this Commentary explaining the rationale behind the changes in the new rules.

Containing an analysis of each article and sub-article of the new UCP, as well as cross-references to the changes from UCP 500, Commentary on UCP 600 offers a unique insight into the thinking of those who drafted the new rules.

Presentation
  • the text of the article (or sub-article),
  • the key changes from UCP 500,
  • a commentary explaining the rationale for the new language, and
  • the cross-references to other articles in UCP 600.


  • Issues
    Commentary on UCP 600 frankly addresses the contentious issues in the new rules, among them:

  • the term "on their face" and why it was dropped in all but one UCP article;
  • the removal of the words "reasonable time";
  • the language allowing discounting of deferred payment credits; and
  • the new article on "Definitions", containing terms such as "honour" and "negotiation".
