Root Breakdown
Root-derivedregulate + -ion (act/result of) = both the act of regulating and the rule that results from it. As a count noun it is the written rule itself (safety regulations); as an uncountable noun it is the activity (the regulation of trade). The adjective use ('regulation size') means 'the size the rule prescribes' — standard-issue.
