English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Law (general)
English term or phrase: provided for
It also modified the licensing process for nuclear facilities and provided for the appointment of regulatory inspectors for safety management.

This is rather a simple question. However, I cannot understand this clause very well: provided for the appointment of regulatory inspectors for safety management.

Explanation:
It's a little hard to explain, since it's not easy to quite see what exactly you don't understand.

Perhaps this will help a little?

Amongst many other things, a law can prohibit certain things; it can stipulate that certain things must be done; and it can define the conditions under which something must be done — this is the kind of meaning 'provided for' had here: the law doesn't actually appoint inspectors, but it sets down the manner in which they must be appointed.
