5Conditions of Acceptance#

All products are accepted on the condition that the manufacture, design, and installation are in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

A product's acceptance will remain valid for 3-years from the date nominated on the letter of acceptance. If during this 3-year period the product is redesigned in any way (that is, changes are made to the product that may adversely affect its performance, durability or maintenance requirements), there is a change to any governing specifications, the manufacturing process changes, or the location of manufacturing changes the acceptance will cease and a reapplication for acceptance will be required.

Within 2 months of any 3-year acceptance period expiring, the manufacturer / distributor is to notify the contact officer, nominated in Section A1, of intention to extend for a further 3-years and nominate either of the following:

• there has been no redesign of the product – further acceptance period granted, and
• the product has been redesigned – further acceptance period granted based on submission of relevant test results (either full suite or those relevant to the nominated changes).

If the acceptance period expires, the product will need to be reassessed as per Section 4 and Appendix A.
