48 When is a registration in force
When registration comes into force
A model’s registration against a GEMS determination in relation to a product class comes into force at the beginning of the day after the GEMS Regulator decides to register the model against that GEMS determination in relation to that product class under subsection 43(1).
When registration ceases to be in force
A model’s registration against a GEMS determination in relation to a product class ceases to be in force at the earliest of the following times:
the beginning of the day after the end of the registration period for the registration (see subsection (3));
the beginning of the day after the registration is cancelled;
if a replacement determination has been made that affects the registration of the model in relation to the product class—the earlier of the following:
the beginning of the day a registration of the model against the replacement determination comes into force;
the beginning of the day the replacement determination comes into force.
The GEMS determination against which the model is registered at the time the registration ceases to be in force may be different from that in force at the time it was originally registered (see subsection 36(2)).
Registration period—generally 5 years
For the purposes of paragraph (2)(a), the registration period for a model’s registration is 5 years beginning on the day the registration comes into force (subject to subsections (4), (5) and (6)).
Shorter registration period specified by GEMS Regulator
The registration period for a model’s registration ends on an earlier day specified by the GEMS Regulator in the notice of the decision to register the model if the GEMS Regulator specifies such a day in accordance with criteria prescribed by regulations made for the purposes of this subsection.
For notice of decisions on applications under this Part, see section 67.
Longer registration period—model registered before relevant determination in force
If the relevant determination against which the model is registered is a new determination within the meaning of subsection 44(2), the registration period is extended by the number of days in the period:
beginning on the day the registration comes into force; and
ending on the day before the new determination comes into force.
Registration period—effect of suspension of registration
The registration period is extended by the number of days in any period:
beginning on a day a suspension of the registration comes into force; and
ending on the day that suspension ceases to be in force.
