Incorporation of standards
16 Incorporation of standards
A regulation or code established under this Act may apply, adopt or incorporate, with or without modification, any code, standard or other document prepared or approved by a body or authority referred to in the regulation or code as in force from time to time or as in force at a specified time.
The Minister must cause a copy of any code, standard or document applied, adopted or incorporated in a regulation or code to be kept available for inspection by members of the public, without charge and during normal office hours, at an office or offices specified in the regulations.
In any legal proceedings, a document—
that appears to be a copy of a code, standard or other document applied, adopted or incorporated in a regulation or code in accordance with this section; and
that is apparently endorsed with a certificate of its authenticity by the Minister, is, in the absence of proof to the contrary, to be accepted as such a copy.
