272ZD: Urgent suspension of registration of MCM
or “The law lets the boss quickly stop a company from making building parts if there's a big safety worry.”
You could also call this:

“The boss checks if someone did something wrong and decides what to do next”

After the chief executive urgently suspends someone’s registration, they must investigate if the person did anything wrong and if there are reasons to suspend or revoke their certification or registration. The MCMC accreditation body can do this investigation for the chief executive.

After the investigation, the chief executive must do one of these things:

  1. End the suspension
  2. Suspend or revoke the person’s certification
  3. Suspend the person’s registration

If the chief executive doesn’t do any of these things within 6 months of the urgent suspension, the suspension ends automatically.

If the suspension is ended, the chief executive must tell the person in writing and update the register.

The chief executive can still take other actions to investigate or enforce the law if they think it’s necessary.

You can find more information about urgent suspension in section 272ZD, and about suspending or revoking certification or registration in section 272W or 272ZA.
