The Secretary will only approve you if you have the right qualifications and experience in radio engineering to give these certificates. The Secretary checks if you are still qualified to be an approved radio engineer. If you are not, the Secretary can revoke your approval. You need to meet certain conditions to keep your approval, which is based on your qualifications and experience in radio engineering for the purposes of sections 25, 39, 40, and 57D.
