Spanish term
reglamento (singular or plural?)
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Document on meat inspection.
Refers to "reglamento" No. X dated YYY, which has at least 200 articles. A single document with many provisions. In such cases I usually translate it in plural, but "Regulations No. 1234" sounds awkward. Term appears dozens of times in the document.
Ideas?

Regulation No. 1234
Generically I would always use Regulations, but in this case I would not use the plural.

Any possibility that reglamento is being used as Code? Just a thought.

In this case, I would either choose Regulation (singluar) or Code. I think this is an exception to the rule.

singular [and plural]
Reglamento when referring to the entire set is plural - Reglamento sobre Sanidad - Health RegulationS
however, when referring to a specific regulation within the set - RegulatioN No. xxxx of the Health Regulations - it is singular.
So in your case it is singular.
