GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English term or phrase:	regulatory
German translation:	gesetzliche Bestimmungen/behördliche Vorschriften

English to German translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers: Hardware / removable hard disk unit

English term or phrase: regulatory

This is the heading of a section containing only one sentence which reads:

"For additional regulatory information, please see the product user documentation...".

Since I don't have access to the documentation, I don't have more context.
Would this be "Zulassung" or "Genehmigung", or something different? I was also thinking about "rechtliche Bestimmungen".

Any help much appreciated!

gesetzliche Vorschriften

Explanation:
I'd prefer that - or "behördliche Vorschriften"
Es geht ja wohl wahrscheinlich um die Einhaltung von Gesetzen und/oder behördlichen Vorschriften bezüglich des Geräts
"regulatorische X" ist bestenfalls Denglish

"regulatorische Informationen" gets over 20,000 googles, and quite a few regarding Internet and product issues

on second thought your "rechtliche Bestimmungen" is probably the safest bet here

in the back of one of my computer manuals they talk of "Normenkonformität" and then go on to cite various EU-Richtlinien

Notes to answerer

Asker: Der Ausdruck ist (als einzelnes Wort) Überschrift eines Kapitels. "Aufsichtsrechtliche" alleine hilft hier also leider nicht weiter.
