Going below the ILS DH in a go-around

Regarding the design of instrument approach procedures for an ILS. What ICAO document (if any) states that the selection of the 200 ft DH on a Cat 1 ILS allows for the aircraft to sink below that DH in the process of transitioning from descent to a climb. Am unable to find anything that discusses this in Australian AIP or equivalent in Jepps. Some operators require 50 or 100 feet added to the chart ILS DA (DH) in order to prevent the aircraft from going below 200ft during the go-around procedure. My understanding being the DH takes the transition from descent to go-around into account.
