267E: Revocation of registration of PCB

You could also call this:

“When a company can no longer check if building products are safe”

Your registration as a product certification body can be automatically cancelled in two situations. First, if your accreditation is cancelled under section 264. Second, if your registration is suspended under section 267C(2) and the suspension isn’t lifted within 12 months.

If your registration was suspended and you applied to have the suspension lifted within 12 months, but no decision has been made by the end of that time, the 12-month period is extended until a decision is made on your application.

When your registration is cancelled, the chief executive must do two things. They must tell you in writing that your registration has been cancelled and explain why. They must also remove your name from the register.
