The officer may recommend to the Director-General the suspension of the standard.
After receiving the officer's recommendation, the Director-General may suspend the standard.

The officer may recommend to the Director-General the reinstatement of the standard.
After receiving the officer's recommendation, the Director-General may reinstate the standard.
