272P: Suspension of registration of MCMCB
or “The government can stop a company from checking building parts if they break the rules or lose their permission to do so.”
You could also call this:

“Rules for bringing back a company that checks building parts after it was told to stop working”

If your registration as a modular component manufacturer certification body (MCMCB) is suspended, there are ways it can be lifted. If your registration was suspended because your accreditation was suspended, your registration will automatically be restored when your accreditation is restored.

If your registration was suspended for other reasons, you can apply to have it lifted. You’ll need to pay a fee if one is required. The chief executive can lift your suspension if they believe you now meet the registration criteria in section 272N, or if you’ve fixed the problem that caused your suspension.

To apply for your suspension to be lifted, you need to write an application. You must follow any specific rules about how to make the application and include any required information.

After you apply, the chief executive will decide whether to lift your suspension. They’ll let you know their decision in writing. If they decide not to lift your suspension, they’ll explain why. If they do lift it, they’ll update the register to show your registration is active again.
