### sec.22J Certification of database
The chief executive may certify a database about regional ecosystems as the Vegetation Management Regional Ecosystem Description Database.
The chief executive may certify a database under subsection (1) by certifying—
a hard copy of the database; or
a digital electronic form of the database.
If the chief executive certifies a digital electronic form of a database under subsection (1) , a reference in this subdivision to the database is taken to include a reference to a hard copy of the database.
Before certifying a database under subsection (1) , the chief executive must ensure—
the regional ecosystem numbers, descriptions and classes for regional ecosystems in the database reflect the relevant numbers, descriptions and classes in the Queensland Herbarium Regional Ecosystem Description Database; and
if certified, the database would comply with sections 22LA (2) , 22LB (2) and 22LC (2) .
However, a failure to comply with subsection (4) , or section 22LA (2) , 22LB (2) or 22LC (2) , in relation to the certification of a database under subsection (1) does not affect the validity of the certification.
