How to properly cite adopted texts in project proposals?

Adopted texts in project proposals must be quoted according to ISO 690 and ISO 690-2 (see e.g. Article 5.2 of the tender documentation). Citations and references made according to standards common in the respective fields or international journals are an acceptable alternative. It is essential that the adopted text is properly cited with reference to the original source. The basic provision of the Tender Document that the use of the adopted text without citation "is a flagrant violation of the respected standards of scientific work and the terms of this tender document and is grounds for elimination of the project proposal from the tender" remains valid.
