Climb rate/decent again
Disclaimer: I have read and searched previous posts. I can't spell and no, I do not use Microsoft flightsim 
Apart from what seems to state the UK AIP (500 mini up or down), I was pretty sure there was something in an ICAO document about it, which states (used to) 500 mini for decent and 300 for climb (not talking about specific cases).
I am happy with CDAs and how we can perform them whilst advising ATC for shallow rates but I would like to have my mind put at rest.
Did I dream those 300 fpm mini for climb (or mixed them up with an old company Ops manual- Boeing not Airbus-) ?
And what it is the ICAO reference (couldn't find it on my -cheap version- of PanOps 8168 or ICAO annex 2).
Thanks a lot.
