About にしたがって
By grouping the う-Verb 従う 'to comply' with に, a common pattern meaning 'to comply with (A)', 'in accordance with (A)', or 'following (A)' will be created. This is a fairly strong and formal structure, indicating that (B) is being controlled or heavily influenced by (A). (B) will often express some kind of ongoing or sudden change caused by (A).
に従って may appear after either verbs of nouns in their dictionary forms.
As this expression is quite formal, it is common to see it used in relation to matters that are usually discussed in formal or official situations, such as laws, standards, conventions, or traditions.
