Abstract: The concept of (a,b)-module comes from the study the Gauss-Manin lattices of an isolated singularity of a germ of an holomorphic function. It is a very simple abstract algebraic structure, but very rich, whose prototype is the formal completion of the Brieskorn-module of an isolated singularity. The aim of this article is to prove a very basic theorem on regular (a,b)-modules showing that a given regular (a,b)-module is completely characterized by some finite order jet of its structure. Moreover a very simple bound for such a sufficient order is given in term of the rank and of two very simple invariants : the regularity order which count the number of times you need to apply

b^{- 1} . a s i m e q p a r t i a l_{z} . z

in order to reach a simple pole (a,b)-module. The second invariant is the width which corresponds, in the simple pole case, to the maximal integral difference between to eigenvalues of

b^{- 1} . a

(the logarithm of the monodromy). In the computation of examples this theorem is quite helpfull because it tells you at which power of

b

in the expansions you may stop without loosing any information.
