| | 最低限度，不仅如此，更多更好 | Explanation:
"and then some"是美国俚语，意思与 at least 很接近。
这个词组及其解释可见《新英汉词典》的then 条目，或《英华大词典》的some 条目。
at least = 至少如此，and then some = 不仅如此，是一枚钱币的两面。
在美国等西方国家，一般的大型企业，遵守安全、健康、环境等方面的国家法规都非常认识(吃官司吃怕了)。通常都在内部制订比政府法规严格得多的标准。例如污染物的排放，很多公司都控制在法律规定的极限的一半之内。
由于 and then some 是一种笼统的说法，并没有明确说出是增加了新的规定，还是以更严格的标准执行政府规定，所以，建议译为：
......对......制订的每一条安全法规都严格执行，而且往往做得更多更好。

It is really hard to select from so many good anwsers. Perhaps Henry could consider a points-distribution system.

1 hr confidence: "and then some"="而且还远不止此","除此以外, 还有许多"
Explanation:
从多本词典中查得,"and then some"="远不止此, 而且还要多";"而且还远不止此";"除此以外, 还有许多";"至少"等
仅供参考,试译全句:"民用飞机公司和主要飞机制造厂商,如波音民用飞机公司[紐約證交所代码:BA]除了严格遵守管理机构强制的每一项安全规定外，还有许多其它的安全条例." 或:"民用飞机公司和主要厂商,如波音飞机公司[NYSE: BA],除了严格遵守管理机构强制的每一项安全规定外，还有许多其它的安全条例."
又:"Commercial airlines" 也常见译为"商用飞机公司", 但本人认为译作"民用飞机公司"更为妥贴.
