Can you please explain the separation standard described in paragraph 5.7.1.2 in Doc 4444.

a) in any direction until 5 minutes before the arriving aircraft is estimated to be over the instrument runway;
b) in a direction which is different by at least 45 degrees from the reciprocal of the direction of approach of the
arriving aircraft:
1) until 3 minutes before the arriving aircraft is estimated to be over the beginning of the instrument runway
(see Figure 5-38); or
2) before the arriving aircraft crosses a designated fix on the approach track; the location of such fix to be

Thanks,
