Schedule 4: Producer responsibility obligations Part 1: Requirements Certificates of compliance
Paragraph 7 allows for regulations to make provision about certificates of compliance. Sub-paragraph (2) outlines what provisions may be made, and sub-paragraph (3) sets out the definition of a "certificate of compliance". A certificate of compliance is a document that certifies that an obligation has been met by an obligated business. It must be issued by a person who has been approved by an enforcement authority. This may be, for example, a Director of the obligated business. Sub-paragraph (4) allows for an enforcement authority to issue guidance on the issuing of certificates of compliance.
