This law designates NATA as the organization with legal authority to grant that accreditation. Think of it as the government naming the \"umpire\" that decides which testing labs are qualified to certify radio equipment as compliant.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n* **Testing laboratories** seeking official recognition to certify radio equipment\n* **Manufacturers and importers** of radiocommunications devices (who rely on accredited labs)\n* **NATA**, which gains formal legal status to perform this specific function"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-1998","history":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-1998/history","analysis":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-1998/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-1998/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-1998/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-1998/documents"}}
