7. Applications that do not comply with the act

Up one level


A certification mark application will be considered to be non-compliant with the requirements of the Act where any of the requirements set out in sections 13(2), 14 and 54 to 56 of the Act have not been met.

Where an application is not in order for immediate acceptance, a Compliance Report will issue setting out the deficiencies in the application or draft regulations, that will need to be addressed before the application can proceed.

For more information on the procedure where applications do not comply with the Act, please refer to the relevant section in the Practice Guideline on The Application Process.
