The term self-regulation does not have an accepted definition, and in its simplest it may refer to individuals and organizations to regulate their own conduct.

Continuing professional development is an essential part of professionalism and is best done within the realm of self-regulation and autonomous control of the profession itself.

One way of considering self-regulation is as a substitute for command and control, another as self-administered command and control.

self-regulatory bodies usually have higher levels of relevant expertise and technical knowledge than is possible with independent regulation and have easy access to those under control, thus acquiring information necessary to formulate and set standards at low cost, and furthermore have low monitoring and enforcement costs as they are able to adapt to changing conditions in a flexible and smooth manner and tend to enjoy the trust of the regulated group.
