16.Article 6 sets out who should apply for safety certificates for designated sports grounds and empowers District Councils to determine who is a qualified person for the purposes of issuing certificates to. The qualified person is someone considered by the District Council likely to be in a position to prevent any contravention of the terms and conditions of a safety certificate but it does not necessarily have to be an individual; it can be the body corporate if the organisation applying for the certificate is an incorporated company.
