- identification of the arbitral tribunal;
- names and surnames of the arbitrators;
- identification of the parties and their representatives, by their names and surnames or business names (as appropriate), or by their designations;
- the place of arbitration;
- the date of the award;
- the decision;
- the reasons on which the decision is based, unless the parties have agreed that no reasons are to be given or the award is an award on agreed terms; and
- advice that a petition to set aside the award can be filed with a court.
