Applicability Module FAQs

1. How do I determine if a compliance requirement applies to my operations?

If you need clarification on a compliance requirement in your Libryo Stream, where your legal register is located, you can:

1. Review the Applicability Questionnaire to determine whether the requirement is relevant to your site’s operations.
   
2. Submit a query to Libryo Support via online chat or email (libryo@erm.com) to consult with our regulatory support specialists or subject matter experts (SMEs) with local expertise.

2. Why is there a law in my legal register that shouldn’t be there?

If a regulation appears in your Libryo Stream but does not seem applicable to your site, it is likely due to an Applicability Question being answered “Yes” for that requirement.

To verify this:

1. Review your Applicability Questionnaire to check if any responses may have triggered the inclusion of the law.
   
2. Update your answers if needed to better reflect your operations.
   
3. If you still believe the law should not be in your register, contact Libryo Support via online chat or email (libryo@erm.com) for further investigation.

3. Why is a legal requirement missing from my legal register?

If you can’t find a legal requirement that should be in your Libryo Stream, where your legal register is located, try the following steps:

1. Check that you have selected the correct Libryo Stream at the top of your screen to ensure you are looking at the right jurisdiction and legal register.
   
2. Use different keywords in the Search bar—sometimes regulations are worded differently than expected.
   
3. Verify if the requirement is newly added or recently amended—it may still be in the process of being updated.
4. Review your Applicability Module to determine whether the requirement applies to your site and ensure that you haven’t answered “No” to any relevant applicability question.
   
5. Contact Libryo Support via online chat or email (libryo@erm.com) to consult with our regulatory support specialists or SMEs, and we will investigate its status.

If you are unable to find a specific regulation, act, piece of legislation, work, appointment, template, or any related document through search, please contact Libryo Support directly via online chat or email (libryo@erm.com). Our Customer Support team and regulatory experts will assist you personally.

4. How can I ensure that all the regulations I must comply with are included in my legal register?

To ensure your Libryo Stream contains all the regulations applicable to your operations:

1. Ensure all applicability questions are answered correctly in the Applicability Questionnaire within the platform.
   
2. Regularly review and update your responses if there are any changes to your operations.
   
3. If you’re unsure about any responses, consult Libryo Support via online chat or email (libryo@erm.com) to consult our regulatory support specialists or SMEs.

5. What happens if new regulations that I must comply with are issued?

When new regulations are introduced, you will receive a notification prompting you to review and respond to any new applicability questions in the Applicability Questionnaire. To ensure ongoing compliance:

1. Review and update your Applicability Responses to reflect any changes in your operations.
   
   
2. If you have any concerns or need further guidance, contact Libryo Support via online chat or email (libryo@erm.com) to consult our regulatory support specialists or SMEs.

6. Why are some Applicability Questions already answered in my Applicability module?

In some cases, you may find that certain Applicability Questions are already answered in your module.

This is because, during the onboarding process, our Regulatory team conducts a “pre-applicability” review. During this review, our regulatory experts pre-answer logic-based questions based on your site’s location and known operations.

This approach is designed to simplify your work and make the process faster by reducing the number of questions you need to answer manually.
