112ZI: Proof of standards incorporated by reference

You could also call this:

"Proving standards are part of the rules requires a certified copy"

When you need to prove that a standard is part of a regulation, you must have a copy of that standard. This copy must be certified by the Director-General, which means they confirm it is correct. The Director-General must also keep this copy. If someone shows a certified copy of the standard in a proceeding, it is enough evidence that the standard is part of the regulation, unless someone can prove otherwise. You can find more information about this in the Health (National Cervical Screening Programme) Amendment Act 2004, which is where this rule comes from.
