Regulation cards help you quickly understand what a regulation is, where it applies, and what it’s mainly about — so you can triage faster and decide what to track. Opening a regulation gives you a complete, structured view (summary, lifecycle, scope, sanctions, and more) so you can assess impact and share the right context with stakeholders.
Regulation cards: what you see at a glance
Title
The Title is the main name of the regulation/initiative shown in Datamaran.
Original title (when applicable)
If the regulation was published in a language other than English, an Original title appears below the Title. This is the regulation name in its original language.
Tags
Cards use tags to make scanning and filtering easy. Common tags include:
-
Country/region tag (where the regulation applies)
-
Main topic tag (the primary subject area)
You may also see other tags depending on the regulation (for example, Status, Key Regulation, Enforcement level, or Disclosure requirements).
Key dates
Cards highlight key lifecycle dates (where available), such as:
-
Introduction
-
Entry into force (when it becomes effective / legally binding)
Notifications
A bell icon 
on the card lets you enable notifications for that regulation so you can stay informed about updates.
