14 Notification of change in details of accreditation or
operation of regulated service
(a) particulars set out in an application for accreditation (including
for the renewal of an accreditation) or other documents given to
the road transport authority for the application, or the particulars
shown in the certificate of accreditation, become (or are about
to become) inaccurate or inapplicable because of a change in
circumstances; or
(b) the operation of a regulated service is changed in a way that may
have an adverse effect on the provision of a safe, reliable and
efficient regulated service by an accredited person.
Examples for par (a)—changes of circumstances
1 A change in a relevant person for an accredited person.
2 A relevant person is disqualified from managing a corporation under the

3 An accredited entity or a relevant person is declared bankrupt.
4 An entity no longer has a relevant person who has the relevant approved
educational qualifications.
5 A change of business address.
6 A change of address for service of notices.
(2) The accredited person must give the road transport authority written
notice of the change as soon as practicable (but within 7 days) after
the change and, if the change relates to the certificate of accreditation,
return the certificate to the authority.
(3) If the change relates to the certificate of accreditation and the
certificate is returned to the road transport authority, the authority
must amend the certificate or issue another certificate for the
remainder of the period of the certificate that it replaces.
(4) The road transport authority may require a person who becomes a
relevant person for an accredited person after the authority gives the
accreditation to—
(a) comply with section 7 (1) (c) (which is about a criminal records
check); and
(b) provide any other information that the authority reasonably
requires to decide whether, because of the change of
circumstances, the accredited person ceases to be a suitable
person to be accredited.

subsection (4).
(6) An offence against subsection (5) is a strict liability offence.
