262: Requirements for product certification accreditation body
or “The boss decides how often building product checkers are checked and what rules they must follow.”
You could also call this:

“A special group can ask for money when they check if another group is doing a good job with building products.”

If you’re a product certification accreditation body, you can charge a fee to an accredited PCB for doing an audit. This fee is only allowed if it has been set by the government. The audit we’re talking about is the kind mentioned in section 262(1)(a). A PCB is short for a product certification body. Remember, you can only charge this fee if the government has decided on an amount for it.
