The certificate holder may transfer the rights of their certificate to a single transferee at any time during the validity of the certificate. The RPA (or equivalent authority) will enter details of the movement in box 6 of the certificate. The trader receiving the rights of the certificate will then be entitled to make an application for IP authorisation under economic code 05 in their own name.
