245 Further tests during period of registration of system
This section applies to a cathodic protection system that is a registered system.
The owner of the system must perform interference tests on all foreign structures for the system—
when an anode forming part of the system is replaced; and
if required by the regulator—when the system, or its method of operation, is changed.
Maximum penalty—40 penalty units.
If the system has an immersed anode that is redesigned, causing the anode to be relocated or to become subject to variation in anode current distribution, the owner of the system must retest the system to ensure the potential difference between any 2 accessible points spaced 1m apart in the water or marine environment is not more than 3V when the system is energised.Maximum penalty—40 penalty units.
If, when interference tests are being performed, there is a foreign structure for the system for which interference tests have not previously been performed, the person must—
arrange with the foreign structure owner a mutually acceptable time for performing the tests; and
allow the foreign structure owner to observe the performance of the tests.
