The collateral detail block covers data Groups P.14 to P.17, all of which are primarily concerned with information and/or resources which in one way or another support the marketing of the product. The block as a whole is non-repeating.

The block is not mandatory within the <Product> record, nor are any of the individual sections mandatory within an occurrence of the block. However, in most circumstances, the block should contain at least one instance of <TextContent>, <CitedContent>, <SupportingResource> or <Prize>. It may be empty only within a partial or ‘block update’ (Notification or update type 04, see P.1.2), when the intention is to remove all previously-supplied collateral material.
