(a) it is certified by the Board as being a qualifying policy; or

(b) it conforms with a form which at the time the policy is issued or varied is either—

(i) a standard form certified by the Board as a standard form of qualifying policy; or

(ii) a form varying from a standard form so certified in no other respect than by making such additions thereto as are, at the time the policy is issued, certified by the Board as compatible with a qualifying policy when made to that standard form and satisfy any conditions subject to which they are so certified;

and any certificate issued in pursuance of paragraph (a) above shall be conclusive evidence that the policy is a qualifying policy.
