1 (1) In considering any application herebefore or hereafter made to the said Board under Section 24 (1) of the said Act for certification of a trade union as bargaining agent of the employees in a group belonging to a craft or exercising technical skills, and in determining whether the proposed group is otherwise appropriate as a unit for collective bargaining and whether the union should otherwise be certified, the Board shall require to be satisfied:
