             (1)  For the purposes of subsection 738Q(2) of the Act, this regulation prescribes what constitutes a reasonable standard in relation to all the checks referred to in regulation 6D.3A.08.

             (2)  To the extent that information to be checked is of a kind that is included in a register kept by ASIC under the Act, or on ASIC's website, a reasonable standard is to check:

                     (a)  whether the information is included in that register or on that website; and

                     (b)  if the information is so included--whether the information is contrary to any other information that the CSF intermediary has; and

                     (c)  if the information is the name and address of a person referred to in paragraph 6D.3A.04(1)(d)--whether the name and address is consistent with the name and address used by that person on an original, a certified copy or an authenticated electronic copy of:

                              (i)  a primary photographic identification document; or

                             (ii)  both a primary non-photographic identification document and a secondary identification document.

                     (b)  require the offering company to provide such information and matters to the CSF intermediary in accordance with a reasonable process that the CSF intermediary has developed, documented and implemented for this purpose.

             (4)  A reasonable standard for checking whether the offer document (see subregulation 6D.3A.08(1)) satisfies the requirements in section 738K of the Act is to check the offer document in accordance with a reasonable process that the CSF intermediary has developed, documented and implemented for this purpose.
