That sentence, in plain words

There is one reason to turn a firm down. The watchdog must find the firm's work would be unsafe. It must base that on the five things named earlier.

What this is about

The law names one more thing that is not a reason. A maker may put its coins on an open network. That alone cannot be held against it.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
