rule of conduct
A rule or principle that defines how one should behave in a particular situation or community.
Eine grundlegende Verhaltensregel in der Bibliothek ist, leise zu sein.
A basic rule of conduct in the library is to be quiet.
The word is a compound made up of 'das Verhalten' (behavior), the linking -s, and 'die Regel' (rule). So it literally means a 'rule for behavior.'
Im Team gibt es klare Verhaltensregeln für die Kommunikation.
In the team, there are clear rules of conduct for communication.
'Verhaltensregeln' (rules of conduct) are often combined with certain verbs. You can set up, define, follow, observe, or violate rules of conduct.
Alle Mitarbeiter müssen die neuen Verhaltensregeln einhalten.
All employees must observe the new rules of conduct.
The area of application of the rules is often specified with the preposition 'für' (for) or 'in' (in). This makes it clear where or for whom the rules apply.
Es gibt spezielle Verhaltensregeln für Besucher im Museum.

rule / period
'Regel' and 'Verhaltensregel' can both say what one should or should not do. 'Regel' is the more general word and can refer to many areas, for example work, traffic, games, or grammar. A 'Verhaltensregel' refers specifically to how people should behave in a situation or group. The words can be confused because a rule of conduct is also a rule. When it is directly about behavior, consideration, or dealing with others, 'Verhaltensregel' is more precise.
Im Gespräch hat sie eine wichtige Verhaltensregel für den Umgang mit Kunden gelernt.
In the conversation, she learned an important rule of conduct for dealing with customers.
Beim Termin erklärt die Mitarbeiterin die wichtigste Regel für den Antrag.
