272C: Lifting of suspension of registration of product certificate
or “When a product certificate's registration is paused, this explains how to start it up again”
You could also call this:

“When a product certificate is cancelled, it's taken off the official list.”

The registration of a product certificate can be automatically revoked in two situations. Firstly, if the certificate is revoked under section 271. Secondly, if the registration is suspended under section 272B(2) and the suspension isn’t lifted before the suspension period ends.

There’s an exception to this rule. If the registration was suspended under section 272B(2), and before the suspension period ends, someone applies to have the suspension lifted under section 272C(2), the revocation is delayed. The registration won’t be revoked until a decision is made about lifting the suspension.

If a product certificate’s registration is revoked, the chief executive has to do two things. They must tell the owner in writing that the registration has been revoked and explain why. They must also remove the certificate from the register.
