This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Customer and Product Data Bill

Administrative matters - Accreditation of requestors

108: Duration of accreditation

You could also call this:

“How long you can be an approved asker of information”

This part of the bill talks about how long an accreditation lasts for an accredited requestor. The accreditation starts when it’s registered and ends when it’s taken off the register.

The chief executive must remove an accreditation from the register as soon as they can in these situations:

  1. If you tell the chief executive you don’t want to be an accredited requestor anymore.
  2. If the chief executive cancels your accreditation.
  3. When your accreditation expires, unless you’ve applied to renew it.
  4. If the chief executive decides not to renew your accreditation after you’ve applied to renew it.

These rules would become part of the law if the bill is passed.
