An authorised officer must produce for inspection his or her identity card and the document issued under section 5.8.2(3) setting out the powers under this Subdivision, which the officer is authorised to exercise—

at any other time during an inspection or search of any premises if asked to do so.
It is not necessary for an authorised officer to comply with a request to produce his or her identity card and document under subsection (1), if—

the officer considers the request to be unreasonable or made for the purpose of delaying or hindering the exercise of a power under this Subdivision.
