30B: Application for accreditation

You could also call this:

“How to ask to become an official checker for weights and measures”

If you want to become an accredited person under section 30A, you need to apply in writing to the Secretary. You might need to use a special form if there is one. You may also need to pay a fee when you apply.

The Secretary can’t make you an accredited person unless you show that you meet all the requirements. These requirements are set out in the rules made for this law.

If the Secretary is thinking about saying no to your application, they must first give you two things. First, they must show you any information they are using to decide against your application. Second, they must give you a fair chance to write back to them about this information.
