A locally Noetherian scheme is regular in codimension one, or satisfies , if every local ring of Krull dimension at most one is a regular local ring. This includes both the generic points and the codimension-one points of its irreducible components. Together with the depth condition , it is equivalent to normality by Serre criterion for normality.[ref]
For an integral scheme, the local ring at its generic point is already its function field, so only the codimension-one points need checking; their local rings must be discrete valuation rings. For a general scheme, omitting the generic-point test changes the condition. The nonreduced double point has no codimension-one points at all, but its zero-dimensional local ring is not a regular local ring. Thus it fails despite satisfying the empty list of exactly-codimension-one tests.
