This determination ensures a qualified, independent body (NATA) is authorised to grant that accreditation. It also **revokes the previous 1998 appointment**, updating the framework.\n\n**How it starts:** The determination takes effect once it is both registered on the Federal Register and published in the Gazette."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-2014","history":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-2014/history","analysis":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-2014/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-2014/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-2014/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-accreditation-body-determination-2014/documents"}}
