Recognition is one of several things that has to line up. It is the cheapest to check and the most expensive to get wrong. A certification programme takes months, and the audit does not transfer.
Recognition runs to a date and is withdrawn between dates. Every value above is read from the authority’s own register and carries the day we read it; we re-read these monthly. What has changed, and the other 3 bodies.
