Performance Standards
A regulation written as a performance standard tells the regulated party the desired outcome of the regulation, but does not specify how to achieve that outcome. Performance standards are contrasted with prescriptive regulations (i.e., specification standards, "command-and-control" regulations). With performance standards, regulated entities are responsible for meeting a particular regulatory target, but they are free to choose or to invent the most efficient method of compliance.
