264: Suspension or revocation of accreditation
or “The rules for taking away or pausing a company's permission to check if products are safe”

You could also call this:

“This rule about how to ask for approval to check products is no longer used.”

This section of the law, called ‘Application for accreditation’, used to be part of the Building Act 2004. It talked about how to apply to become an accredited product certification body. However, this section no longer exists in the law. It was removed on 7 September 2022. This means that if you want to know about applying for accreditation now, you’ll need to look at other parts of the Building Act or other related laws.
