- It is not identical or almost identical to a name that has already been reserved under the Companies Act 1993 and that is still available for registration under that Act; or
- It is not likely to mislead the society's members or the public about the society's nature or identity; or
- It does not contravene any legislation; or
- It is not offensive (in the opinion of the Registrar).
