If you are working for a European operator, then EU-OPS 1.430(d)2 says ...
(d)2. All non-precision approaches shall be flown using the continuous descent final approaches (CDFA) technique unless otherwise approved by the Authority for a particular approach to a particular runway. When calculating the minima in accordance with Appendix 1 (New), the operator shall ensure that the applicable minimum RVR is increased by 200 metres (m) for Cat A/B aeroplanes and by 400 m for Cat C/D aeroplanes for approaches not flown using the CDFA technique, providing that the resulting RVR/CMV value does not exceed 5 000 m.

So an NPA flown under these rules is effectively an approach to a DA.
Perhaps some states/airports publish minima including the increment for GA transition, perhaps your Bombardier reference has adopted the terminology; but your company should specify whether to add (50ft) to any NPA minima or not.
