39 Routine international compliance inspections of Schedule 1 facilities
Subject to subsection (2), an international compliance inspection of a Schedule 1 facility may be carried out at any time.
A national inspector and an Organization inspector may, subject to any facility agreement or arrangements for managed access referred to in Division 7:
with the consent of the operator of a Schedule 1 facility; or
under a warrant issued under section 51 in respect of the facility;
enter the facility and exercise, on or in the facility, any international inspection powers for international compliance purposes.
In addition to their international inspection powers, the national inspector and Organization inspector may install and operate continuous on‑site monitoring equipment that is approved by the Organization at the Schedule 1 facility if the national inspector believes, on reasonable grounds, that it can be done in accordance with safety procedures applicable at the facility.
For the obligations of a national inspector in relation to not delaying or otherwise hindering the carrying out of an international compliance inspection, see section 95 of this Act and paragraph 41 of Part II of the Verification Annex to the Convention.
