  5. Certification of standing orders
  (1) On receipt of the draft under section 3, the Certifying
  
  Officer shall forward a copy thereof to the trade union, if any, of the
  
  workmen, or where there is no such trade union, to the workmen in such manner
  
  as may be prescribed, together with a notice in the prescribed form requiring
  
  objections, if any, which the workmen may desire to make to the draft standing
  
  orders to be submitted to him within fifteen days from the receipt of the
  
  notice.
  (2) After giving the employer and the trade union or such other
  
  representative of the workmen as may be prescribed, an opportunity of being
  
  heard, the Certifying Officer shall decide whether or no any modification of or
  
  addition to the draft submitted by the employer is necessary to render the
  
  draft standing orders certifiable under this Act, and shall make an order in
  
  writing accordingly.
  (3) The Certifying Officer shall thereupon certify the draft
  
  standing orders, after making any modification therein which his order under
  
  sub-section (2) may require, and shall within seven days thereafter send copies
  
  of the certified standing order authenticated in the prescribed manner and of
  
  his order under sub-section (2) to the employer and to the trade union or other
  
  prescribed representatives of the workmen.
