Two kinds of link
The regulation names another provision in its own words. Example: Reg 2 points to Reg 6 with the words “…registration granted by the Board under regulation 6”. That phrase is the link, and it is highlighted wherever it appears.
The regulation sends you to a Schedule for the detail, such as a format, a fee or a code of conduct.
