184 Cost of testing and examining and liability for damage
If an item of a type of level 1, 2 or 3 in-scope electrical equipment is tested and examined under this division and is found to substantially meet the relevant standard for the type, the regulator must—
bear the cost of the testing and examination; and
if the item was obtained under section 182(1)(a), compensate the registered responsible supplier for any damage done to the item.
An amount for which a registered responsible supplier is entitled to be compensated under subsection (1)(b) may be recovered from the regulator as a debt owing by the State to the person.
If an item of a type of level 2 or 3 in-scope electrical equipment is tested and examined under this division and is found not to substantially meet the relevant standard for the type, the registered responsible supplier from whom the item was obtained under section 182(1)(a)—
must reimburse the regulator for all costs incurred in obtaining and having the item of electrical equipment tested and examined; and
is not entitled to compensation for damage necessarily caused to the item to enable it to be properly tested and examined.
An amount the regulator is entitled to be reimbursed under subsection (3)(a) may be recovered by the regulator as a debt owing to the State.
