Regulation 7 provides for the expiration of certificates of approval.
Regulation 8 sets out the circumstances in which an application for a certificate of approval may be refused.
Regulation 9 sets out the circumstances in which an applicant who has completed an approved training programme may be required to undergo retraining.

The grounds include the administration of a develvetting animal remedy otherwise than in accordance with these regulations, incompetence by the approved person, or the conviction of the approved person of any offence against the Animals Protection Act 1960.
Regulation 11 requires that develvetting animal remedies be kept locked away when not in use.
Regulation 12 requires every approved person to keep records of the develvetting animal remedies obtained or administered by the approved person.
Regulation 13 provides for the inspection, by inspectors under the Animal Remedies Act 1967, of develvetting animal remedies kept by approved persons and of records kept by approved persons in respect of develvetting remedies and their administration.
