Preparing the published article.
Keeping Up When Regulations Change
A regulation change is a gap analysis, not a project restart.
Steps
Confirm whether the new document applies, list the differences from the previous requirement, assess the impact on equipment and process, and set a remediation plan with dates.
Common mistakes
Treating a voluntary standard as mandatory, or treating a draft for comment as a published requirement.
Recommendation
Keep a regulation register with document name, version, effective date and owner.
