72N: Use of words Aviation Security Service

You could also call this:

"Only the real Aviation Security Service can use its name"

You can't use the words "Aviation Security Service" in the name of your company or group. This rule is to stop people from being tricked by names that look too much like the real Aviation Security Service.

The person in charge of registering companies will decide if a name is too similar and might confuse people. They use rules from a law about protecting important names and symbols.

This rule doesn't apply to the actual Aviation Security Service or the Civil Aviation Authority. It also doesn't apply to anyone who has been given special permission by the Civil Aviation Authority to use the name.
