the person or body has the competencies necessary to apply the assessment methods and standards determined under section 21 to decide whether energy efficiency ratings or lighting energy efficiency assessments are appropriate; and
the person or body has systems in place to ensure that building energy efficiency certificates are issued in good faith.
