The application must—
be made in the approved form; and
otherwise comply with the requirements prescribed under a regulation about applying for the reinstatement of an electrical licence, including any requirements about the payment of fees.
The regulator may reinstate, or refuse to reinstate, the electrical licence.
In deciding whether to reinstate the electrical licence, the regulator must apply any eligibility requirements prescribed under a regulation for the reinstatement of the licence.
The reinstatement has effect from the end of the day of reinstatement.
