252: Scope of accreditation of building consent authority that is not territorial authority
or “This law explains how building inspectors who are not part of the local council get permission to check different types of buildings.”
You could also call this:

“You need to write down some important information when you ask to be approved as a building helper.”

If you want to apply for accreditation under section 250, you need to follow these rules. You must write your application on paper or type it out. You might need to send it in a special way if there are rules about that. Your application needs to include certain information if there are rules about what to include. Remember, these are the basic steps for applying, but there might be more specific instructions you need to follow.
