437: Notices about approved auditors and agencies

You could also call this:

"Rules for approved food auditors and agencies"

The chief executive can issue a notice that says what approved auditors or agencies must do. You need to know that this notice can include conditions they must follow. The chief executive can also say what training and competency standards approved auditors must meet.

The chief executive can issue another notice that says what functions approved auditors or agencies must or must not do. This notice can also say what management standards agencies must meet. You have to comply with these notices if they apply to you.

If a notice applies to you or your agency, you must follow it. A notice is like a rule, and it is called secondary legislation (see Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019 for publication requirements), unless it only applies to one person or agency. This means the notice has to be published in a certain way, so everyone knows about it.
