Basic Principle of Regulatory Guides

Regulatory Guides are issued to describe methods and/or criteria acceptable to the Authority for meeting and implementing specific requirements in the Authority's regulations. Regulatory Guides are not substitutes for regulations, and compliance with them is not required. Methods of complying with the requirements in regulations different from the guidance set forth by the regulatory guide can be acceptable if the alternatives provide assurance that the requirements are met.
