After a de-listing is announced to the industry an appeal can be lodged with the Clean Energy Council&#8217;s Product Listing Review Panel, but this must occur within five business days.<\/p>\n<p>De-listing can occur for all sorts of reasons &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean there&#8217;s a problem.
