regulations

Regulation is the management of complex systems according to a set of rules and trends. In systems theory, these types of rules exist in various fields of biology and society, but the term has slightly different meanings according to context. For example:

in biology, gene regulation and metabolic regulation allow living organisms to adapt to their environment and maintain homeostasis;
in government, typically regulation means stipulations of the delegated legislation which is drafted by subject-matter experts to enforce primary legislation;
in business, industry self-regulation occurs through self-regulatory organizations and trade associations which allow industries to set and enforce rules with less government involvement; and,
in psychology, self-regulation theory is the study of how individuals regulate their thoughts and behaviors to reach goals.

    BS1212 part 1

    Hi, I was reading on some old revision exam papers that that the only place permitted for a BS1212 part 1 valve is in a F and E tank? Is this a glitch, my understanding is part 1 valves are only allowed in a wc off a cws? Please can someone advise? Thanks

    Building Regulation J

    Hi All I am right in believing that you are required to fit a filter in a heating oil supply line under regulation J in compliance with BS4510? If this was not fitted then the builder (house built 2003) is in breach of building regs? Any input or help would be great! Thanks
