Can an existing Design Approval Representative (DAR) transition to an ADO?
• Yes. DARs that apply for or hold design approvals, and that wish to retain the ability to issue design approvals, shall have the opportunity to transition to become an ADO over a specified time period. They will be entitled to make a declaration of compliance and to issue design approvals. • DARs that provide a service as technical specialists and that do not desire to issue design approvals, shall have the opportunity to transition to Compliance Specialists under a system of industry recognition, or where required, by TCCA. These individuals would be Compliance Specialists (see above) who do not have the ability to issue a design approval.
