“What it means to have official permission to do something”

In this part of the law, ‘authorised’ means you have official permission to do something. This permission can come in different forms. It might be a licence, a permit, a registration, a consent, a certificate, or some other kind of official approval. The exact type of approval you need depends on what the rules say. These rules are called regulations. So, when the law says you need to be ‘authorised’ to do something, it means you need to have the right kind of official permission that the rules require.
