Licence suspension safeguards require prior response beyond ten days and prohibit electronic signature certificate issuance during suspension.

The Controller may revoke a Certifying Authority's licence for materially false licensing statements, breach of licence conditions, failure to maintain prescribed procedures and standards, or contravention of applicable legal requirements, subject to a reasonable opportunity to show cause. Where reasonable cause exists to believe that revocation grounds are present, the licence may be suspended pending inquiry. Suspension beyond ten days requires an opportunity to show cause, and no electronic signature certificates may be issued during suspension.
