The standard Public Sector regulatory data model provides the Regulatory Code Assessment Indicator object for associating regulatory requirements with the indicators inspectors evaluate. Salesforce describes assessment indicator definitions as the conditions inspectors check during onsite visits and explicitly supports relating those indicators to applicable regulatory codes so inspectors can reference the governing code while evaluating compliance.

The broader regulatory data model also identifies Regulatory Code Assessment Indicator as part of the standard licensing, permitting, inspection, fee, and enforcement model. This enables organizations to model compliance requirements declaratively rather than introducing unnecessary custom junction objects or custom master-detail relationships. Using the standard relationship is important because downstream Public Sector capabilities—inspection checklists, assessment execution, regulatory-code visibility, violations, and enforcement processes—are designed around the Salesforce industry data model. Creating a custom Regulatory Code Map would duplicate standard functionality and increase maintenance and integration complexity. A direct master-detail relationship also would not represent the intended mapping architecture.
