(b) may specify that particular units of competency, or particular parts of units of competency, must be achieved by particular pesticide users or classes of pesticide users (including, for example, the users of a particular type of pesticide).

(5) An approval under this clause is to be published in the Gazette and takes effect on the day that it is so published or on such later date as may be specified in the approval.

(6) The Authority must ensure that copies of any approval in force under this clause are available for public inspection, without charge and during ordinary business hours, at each of its offices.
