The Feeds Regulations, 2024 includes 9 documents that are incorporated by reference. Incorporation by reference (IBR) is a drafting technique that introduces the content of a document into a regulation without having to reproduce the document's text in the regulation. If a document is incorporated by reference, the incorporated wording has the same effect as if it appeared in the regulations.
