The duly qualified person must, unless the person has a reasonable excuse—

physically inspect the measurement device as soon as practicable; and

within 10 business days after the inspection, give—

the chief executive—

if the device does not comply with the measurement standards—a notice stating the non-compliance particulars for the device; or

if the device complies with the measurement standards—a compliance certificate for the device; and

the holder of the relevant authorisation a copy of a notice or compliance certificate given to the chief executive under subparagraph (i) and, if a compliance certificate is given, a copy of the associated documents for the certificate.

In this section—

how the device does not comply with the measurement standards; and

if the duly qualified person believes the device could comply with the measurement standards if the device is modified—the modifications needed for the device to comply with the measurement standards; and

if the duly qualified person believes the device can not comply with the measurement standards, even with modifications—that the device can not be modified to comply with the measurement standards.
