A Regulation contains a reference to a specific paragraph in the legislation controlling the business. It can also contain a reference in a specific relevant standard i.e. ISO or ANSI.
A regulation is used to relate an object (e.g. a Process) to a relevant Regulation. This relation is made with the “ComplianceWith” relation available on the complying object (e.g. a process). This will enable the user to trace the conformance to a specific Regulation in the Repository.
A regulation can be a part of a RegulationDiagram, and used document Compliance, e.g. in a Compliance Matrix.
