Regulatori

Regulatori is a term whose meaning depends on language and context. In Italian and Romanian, regulatori is the plural form of regulator, used to denote either regulating devices or people who perform regulatory functions. It functions as a common noun rather than a proper noun in most uses.

In technical and engineering contexts, regulatori refer to regulators in a broad sense. This includes electrical regulators such as voltage regulators, mechanical devices like pressure regulators and fuel regulators, and speed regulators used to control motion in machines. In some scientific contexts, similar terminology appears in other languages to describe regulatory elements, though in English these are more commonly described as regulators or regulatory elements.

In governance and public administration, regulatori can denote regulatory bodies or authorities collectively—organizations that oversee and enforce rules within sectors such as energy, telecommunications, finance, or health and safety. In English-language writing, these would typically be described as regulators or regulatory agencies, with the plural form used when referring to multiple such bodies.

Because Regulatori does not point to a single, universally defined entity, its precise meaning is determined by the surrounding context, language, and field. If a specific region, language, or domain is intended, that context will clarify whether the reference is to devices that regulate, individuals who regulate, or regulatory institutions.
