“Radar contact” is in PANS-ATM. I don’t see how anything could be more standard ICAO phraseology .
Class E is CAS no matter if you are VFR or IFR, but you don’t need a clearance if VFR. The distinction between CAS and OCAS is important because it affects the VMC minima.
… which almost nobody who flies for real in GA can remember, a week after they passed their PPL exams. The full matrix is horrible.
Sure Class E is “controlled airspace” but if VFR traffic can be in it with no radio and no transponder, what does this mean? Absolutely nothing, zero, zilch in reality.

Not for the context in question (CAS entry clearance, and the mis-use of that phrase for it).
