standards / rules and regulations Explanation: I'd suggest s.th. along the lines of "standards" or "sets of standards", "rules and regulations", "compendium of rules [and regulations]" or some such. While the term "Regelwerke" is quite frequently used and refers to a set of rules or standards, it is not listed in Duden, Wahrig, or any other dictionary or encyclopedia that I could lay my hands on. I would not use guidelines in this context as Regelwerke is often used in conjunction with Gesetz and/or Norm. Standards and/or Rules and Regulations would thus be a better choice. Hope this helps a bit - Reference: http://www.google.com/search?q=regelwerke&meta=&btnG=Google-... |

Se below Explanation: I found a large number of Regelwerke, among them a quite illustrative one: www.gueteschutz-betonbauteile.de/regelwer.htm. REGELWERK Technische Regeln – Grundlage der Überwachung und Zertifizierung 1. Verzeichnis der Normen 2. Weitere Bestimmungen Richtlinien und Merkblätter Öffentlich-rechtliche Bestimmungen außerhalb der LBOs Eurodicautom says that a Regelwerk is a comprehensive body of legislation, but as appears from the example, legislation does not have to be involved. Ás far as I can see from the Google hits, a Regelwerk is a collection of all rules, regulations and standards relevant to a certain field. I think I should say something like ... all rules, regulations and standards pertaining to management systems and the various disciplines and professions .... HTH See above |
