89 5. PROCEDURES AND FEES FOR OBTAINING ITF RECOGNITION Any manufacturer, installer or facility owner may apply for ITF Recognition. A request for ITF Recognition shall be made on an application form submitted to the ITF. The form is available on request by email to technical@itftennis.com or by download from the ITF website www.itftennis.com/technical. The ITF shall issue an invoice for the recognition fee of US$500 (the "Recognition Fee") per facility for any number of tennis courts to be tested on consecutive days. The Recognition Fee is non-refundable and will apply to the applicant(s) that has paid for the testing (the "Primary Applicant"). Any subsequent applications for ITF Recognition from any other organisation(s) that contributed to the manufacture and/or construction of the court (the "Secondary Applicant") are subject to a fee of US$2,000, and must provide evidence of their involvement in the manufacture and/or construction. Applications from more than one company, whether as Primary Applicants or Secondary Applicants, are subject to the relevant fee from all applicant companies. Note: the ITF has reduced the Recognition Fee payable by the Primary Applicant, in recognition of the costs incurred in testing of the court(s). Applicants should nominate an ITF Accredited laboratory and/or ITF Recognition Assessor to conduct the necessary testing, with whom testing fees should be agreed directly. Note: Testing fees are separate from the Recognition fee. On completion of the tests, the laboratory or assessor shall return the completed test report to the ITF, and the ITF will make the sole determination as to whether the court(s) shall be granted ITF Recognised status. Where more than one court is tested, only those courts that have passed all tests will be granted ITF Recognised status. ITF Recognition (whether One-Star or Two-Star) will only be granted to courts for which the report(s) is/are received by the ITF within one month of the initial test date. That is, where an applicant wishes one or more courts to be tested for One-Star and Two-Star Recognition at the same time, all such testing must be completed, and the report received by the ITF, within a one-month period. The ITF will endeavour to inform the applicant of the result of all tests within two weeks of receipt of the test report(s). A certificate will be issued for those courts that pass all tests, and the facility/court(s) will be listed on the ITF website www.itftennis.com/technical.
