Information about this reprint This regulation is reprinted as at 1 October 2002. The reprint shows the law as amended by all amendments that commenced on or before that day (Reprints Act 1992 s 5(c)). The reprint includes a reference to the law by which each amendment was made—see list of legislation and list of annotations in endnotes. This page is specific to this reprint. See previous reprints for information about earlier changes made under the Reprints Act 1992. A table of earlier reprints is included in the endnotes. Also see endnotes for information about— • when provisions commenced • editorial changes made in earlier reprints. Dates shown on reprints Reprints dated at last amendment All reprints produced on or after 1 July 2002, hard copy and electronic, are dated as at the last date of amendment. Previously reprints were dated as at the date of publication. If a hard copy reprint is dated earlier than an electronic version published before 1 July 2002, it means the legislation was not further amended and the reprint date is the commencement of the last amendment. If the date of a hard copy reprint is the same as the date shown for an electronic version previously published, it merely means that the electronic version was published before the hard copy version. Also, any revised edition of the previously published electronic version will have the same date as that version.

(3) On approval of the change, the new model type is included in the existing type’s approval. 18 Refusal to change approval If the regulator does not change the approval of the existing type of electrical article, the regulator must refuse to change the approval. Division 5—Transfer and cancellation of approvals 19 Transfer of approval of type of prescribed electrical article (1) If the registered declarant for an approved type of prescribed electrical article proposes to transfer the approval to someone else (the “proposed transferee” ), the proposed transferee may apply to the regulator for approval of the transfer. (2) The regulator must approve the transfer if the application— (a) is made in the approved form; and (b) is accompanied by— (i) the relevant certificate of approval; and (ii) the prescribed fee; and (iii) the registered declarant’s written agreement to the transfer.

Maximum penalty—8 penalty units. Division 6—Marking of approved electrical articles 23 Marking of approved electrical articles An approved electrical article is marked as required under this division if it is marked with its approval number or another mark approved by the regulator. 24 Approval by the regulator not to mark approved electrical article (1) This section applies if the regulator is of the opinion that an approved electrical article is too small to be marked in accordance with section 23 or, for another reason, should not be marked. (2) The regulator may, by written notice given to a registered declarant for a type of electrical article, exempt the registered declarant from complying with section 23 if each container for each approved electrical article— (a) is marked with the particulars mentioned in that section; and (b) states the nature of the electrical article.

s 25 16 s 28 Electricity (Electrical Articles) Regulation 1994 Division 7—Regulator may require testing of approved electrical article 25 Regulator may require approved electrical article be submitted for testing etc. The regulator may arrange for an approved electrical article to be tested and examined for compliance with relevant standards for the type of prescribed electrical article. 26 Procedures for obtaining approved electrical article to be tested etc. If the regulator decides to have an approved electrical article of a particular type (the “approved type” ) tested and examined, the regulator may— (a) by written notice, require the registered declarant to give the regulator electrical articles of the approved type for testing and examining within a stated reasonable time; or (b) buy, for testing and examining, electrical articles of the approved type at any place where they are offered for sale; or (c) by written notice, require an authorised person to select, for testing and examining, electrical articles of the approved type from a place where the registered declarant has them stored and give them to the regulator within a stated reasonable time. 27 Identification of approved electrical article to be tested Before an electrical article obtained by the regulator for testing and examining is given to an approved testing entity, the regulator must give the registered declarant an opportunity to place an identifying mark on the article and must advise the entity of the mark. 28 Costs of testing etc. (1) If an electrical article tested and examined under this division is found to substantially comply with the relevant standards, the regulator must bear the costs of the testing and examination and compensate the registered declarant for any damage done to the article.

s 29 17 s 30 Electricity (Electrical Articles) Regulation 1994 (2) An amount the registered declarant is entitled to be compensated under subsection (1) may be recovered from the regulator as a debt owing by the State to the registered declarant. (3) If an electrical article tested and examined under this division is found not to substantially comply with the relevant standards, the registered declarant must reimburse the regulator for all costs incurred in obtaining and having the electrical article tested and examined and is not entitled to compensation for damage necessarily caused to the electrical article to enable the article to be properly tested and examined. (4) An amount the regulator is entitled to be reimbursed under subsection (3) may be recovered by the regulator as a debt owing to the State. 29 No liability for damage necessarily caused during testing The registered declarant is not entitled to claim for damage necessarily caused to an electrical article to enable the article to be properly tested for this part. 30 Return of articles given to the regulator (1) This section applies if, at the regulator’s request, a person gives the regulator free of charge an electrical article for testing or with an application under this part. (2) The regulator must notify the person the electrical article is available for collection by the person at a stated place as soon as practicable after— (a) for an article provided for testing— (i) if the regulator believes, on reasonable grounds, that the article is required as evidence in a prosecution for an offence—the prosecution and any appeal from the prosecution; or (ii) if subparagraph (i) does not apply—the testing; or (b) if the article is given with an application—the regulator decides the application.
