Materiality

Malay translation: kerelevanan; relevansi

English to Malay translations [PRO]
Law (general) / Code of conduct
English term or phrase: Materiality
"Our code of conduct, materiality and..."

E.g:

Code of conduct: "Maintain and entertain the expectations of the community"
Materiality: "Participate in more activities"

It can be understood that it is a measure to be taken in order to fulfill the code of conduct itself, however, is there any term/phrase for "materiality"? If not, what would the most accurate translation be for the word "materiality" in this context?

Thanks, Ms. Beng

agree  yam2u: though the sense here may tip more to being significant rather than just relevant, in the sense of essentiality/being essential or relevance that comes with careful consideration. so signifikan (n/adj) may fit the bill better.
