Regulatory responsibilities and accreditation - Responsibilities relating to product certification - Accreditation of product certification bodies

267: Product certification accreditation body must notify chief executive of grant, suspension, lifting of suspension, or revocation of accreditation

You could also call this:

“The accreditation body must tell the boss when someone gets, loses, or regains permission to certify products.”

If you’re a group that checks if product certification bodies are doing a good job, you need to tell the chief executive when you do certain things. You must let them know when you give someone permission to be a product certification body. You also need to tell them if you stop someone from being a product certification body for a while, if you let them start again after stopping them, or if you take away their permission completely.

When you tell the chief executive about these things, you have to do it in the way they’ve told you to. The chief executive will let you know how they want to be told. You have to tell them within 7 days of doing any of these things. This means you can’t wait too long to let them know.
