Few technicalities, but I promise to have a look at the geometry later too.

a) are you looking at
Amendment 1 to EU-OPS OPS 1.430, or
Amendment 1 (new) to EU-OPS OPS 1.430 ?

The old one is carried over from JAR-OPS, the new has some changes including an increase of required VIS / RVR for NPAs.

b) EU-OPS is dead. Superseded by EASA Air-OPS or EASA-IR. I understand the minima section is however unchanged from EU-OPS Amendment (new) 1 to OPS 1.430. Hence the correct use of Jeppesen minima table with [Standard] on it.

Minima table from Lido:

This does not show RVR is required, but that's besides your point.

EDIT: In the meantime, are you able to calculate how much RVR is equivalent to the 1200 m VIS printed on the Lido chart?
