10. CONCEPT OF REGULATION Operation-centric
Operation specifications should be the main driver of regulatory requirements.
Proportionate
Regulations and standards should address safety risks associated with operation.
Objective
Process should be independent of individual interests and not open for interpretation.
Systematic
Two similar operations with similar safety risks should have similar requirements.

11. CONCEPT OF REGULATION Practical Should be based on soft-law approach.
Cost conscious
Over-regulation will inflate operational costs and decrease the “will” to comply with regulations and standards.
