(b) A positive Customer Knowledge Assessment allows the customer to transact in that unlisted Specified Investment Product for one year from the date of the assessment.

MAS Notice SFA 04-N12 paragraphs 16 and 26 with RES 1B sections 2.5.1.4 to 2.5.1.6 and RES 2B sections 6.6.4 and 6.6.5: the firm may conduct a new CAR or rely on a new CAR conducted by a third party for the customer. Takeaway: CAR runs 3 years and can be kept alive by trading; CKA runs one year and cannot.
The refresh test is more than once in each 3-year period, not six trades again.
