You could also call this:

“Rules for approving organisations that check companies making building parts”

The MCMC accreditation body can give a person the job of being a modular component manufacturer certification body. To get this job, you need to apply and maybe pay a fee. The accreditation body will check if you can do the job well.

You need to show that you can do the job fairly, consistently, and openly. You also need to have good plans and systems in place. These plans and systems should help you do your job properly and follow the rules set by the government.

There are other rules you need to follow too. Some of these rules are made by the government, and others are part of something called the MCM scheme.

When you apply for this job, you need to do it in writing. You might need to follow specific instructions on how to apply and what information to include.

In this law, when it talks about “relevant functions”, it means the specific tasks you want to be allowed to do as a modular component manufacturer certification body.
