144: Chief executive may require further information

You could also call this:

"The boss can ask for more details to help decide your application"

Illustration for Food Act 2014

If you apply for recognition, the chief executive may ask you to give more information or material. They need this before they can decide whether to grant the recognition. You have to give them the information they ask for.

If you do not give the chief executive the additional information or material, your application for recognition will lapse. This happens if you do not supply the information within 3 months after they ask for it.

The chief executive can give you more time to supply the information if they want to, and they will tell you in writing if they do.
