Where a person other than an individual is appointed as an Authorised Verifier, the letter of appointment shall specify the name of every individual who is to exercise or perform the powers, duties and functions of the Authorised Verifier as an employee and under the instructions of that person, and this Part shall apply in respect of every individual so specified as if that individual had been appointed as an Authorised Verifier by that letter of appointment.

The Commission may impose such conditions as it thinks fit on the appointment of any person as an Authorised Verifier, including conditions —

requiring the working standards used by the Authorised Verifier to be examined and tested periodically so as to ensure the working standards remain within the maximum permissible error specified by the Commission therefor.

Where a letter of appointment is issued under paragraph (2), the Commission may from time to time, at the request of the person to whom the letter is issued, and on payment of such fee as may be prescribed, amend the letter of appointment by omitting or adding the name of any individual who is to exercise or perform the powers, duties and functions of an Authorised Verifier on behalf of that person.
