: Though I'm not sure how common the abbreviation actually is in EN? Never personally heard it used; FR tends to have longwinded expressions for everything, and then converts them into rather sybilline ad hoc abbreviations.

Thanks Tony. FO et PO is also unsual as an abbreviation in FR. I think space is a requirement here. An alternative for the asker if something shorter is required, eg item 11.1 page 157 in the other answer's link
