Maybe you mean the following?

ICAO AERODROME STANDARDS (http://www.icao.int/safety/Implementation/Library/Manual%20Aerodrome%20Stds.pdf)

Skyjob has given the detail. Basically, A320s should not operate on 30m wide runways. The 737 can, given certain limitations. I actually thought there was a procedure whereby A320s could use 30m runways as well.
