Maybe you mean the following?

ICAO AERODROME STANDARDS

Page 17
Code Element 1:
Code number "3"
Aeroplane reference field length "1200 m up to but not including 1800 m"
Code Element 2:
Code letter "C"
Wing span "24 m up to but not including 36 m"
Outer main gear wheel span "6 m up to but not including 9 m"

Page 28
The width of a runway shall be not less than the appropriate dimension specified in the following tabulation:
Code number 3
Code letter A: 30m
Code letter B: 30m
Code letter C: 30m
Code letter D: 45m

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.
