242 Responsible accreditation authority

(1) An accreditation authority that appoints a person as a biosecurity auditor is the
"responsible accreditation authority" in relation to that appointment.

(4) If an accreditation authority ceases to be an accreditation authority in relation to appointments generally or any class of appointments, the functions of the responsible accreditation authority in relation to any appointment or class of appointments that has already been granted or renewed by that accreditation authority may be exercised by--
(a) any accreditation authority approved by the Secretary to exercise the functions of the accreditation authority in respect of the appointment or class of appointments concerned, or
(b) if no accreditation authority has been so approved, the Secretary.
