362VE: Notice to take corrective action
or “A written warning asking someone to fix a mistake they made about building product information”
You could also call this:

“This rule says you must follow orders to fix problems, or you could get in big trouble and pay a lot of money.”

If the chief executive gives you a notice to take corrective action, you must do what it says within the time given in the notice. If you don’t follow the notice, you’re breaking the law. This is called an offence. If you’re found guilty of this offence, you can be fined. If you’re an individual person, you might have to pay up to $10,000. If you’re a company or organisation, you might have to pay up to $30,000.
