I would have thought it made sense, if you are authorised yes you can buy at a lower price you can also use the registered name and logo, amongst other things The authorisation incorporates training, test equipment, website and national advertising and technical support. Those not Athorised can still purchase the product but at a higher charge, they cannot use the name or registered logo. And before you ask yes this is deliberate, only 60-70 will be licences this year. We feel the trianing and correct advertising / promotion is a very important issue as many misleading claims are made regarding products currently sold.
