MDA for CONSTANT DESCENT NPA

I know this has been industry-wide practice now for a long time, but can anyone quote me either ICAO or Jeppesen reference to the requirement to add 50 feet to the published MDA for a NPA when flying the now-standard constant descent angle approach technique, to allow for the height loss on a go-around on say a category C airplane?.Also any decent paper on this subject written by ICAO or other professional source explaining the logic behind this practice (for training purposes).Many thanks Pete.
