Regulator
PAS 2080:2023 Carbon management in buildings and infrastructure, second edition, published by The British Standards Institution in March 2023, defines a regulator as a: ‘government or authority (e.g. country, state, city council, planning authority, highway authority, government department) which owns the regulatory applications of a specific sector or area, which serve as principles, policies or rules governing or prescribing the behaviour of users as well as the provisioning of goods, services and/or rights interchanged.’
The word regulator might also refer to a device that controls the rate or flow of something such as a fluid.
