Question Protected area on IAP

PANS-OPS vol 1 requires that an aircraft establish inbound (half-scale or +-5 deg) before descending on the inbound leg of an IAP. However, it seems to make no similar requirement of the descent outbound on leaving the IAF for the course reversal.

What's the extent of the primary protected area for the outbound leg, particularly a teardrop? (I don't have PANS-OPS vol 2, which I presume contains the answer.)

Thanks.
