If necessary, the time limit for making a conclusion on labor capacity appraisal may be extended by 30 days. The conclusion of the appraisal of labor capacity shall be delivered to the unit and individual applying for appraisal in a timely manner.
5) If the unit or individual applying for appraisal is not satisfied with the appraisal conclusion made by the labor capability appraisal committee of a city divided into districts, it may, within 15 days from the date of receiving the appraisal conclusion, apply to the labor capability appraisal committee of a province, autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government for another appraisal.
