Electricity Regulations 1947

An application for approval of an electrical appliance is to be made to the Director, in writing in a form approved by the Director.

An applicant must give to the Director, with the application or when subsequently requested, such samples of, and information (including drawings, photographs and labels) relating to, the electrical appliance as the Director may require.

Notwithstanding the requirements of subregulation (1), if an appliance of the same type is approved, within the meaning of the Act, by a duly constituted authority in another State of the Commonwealth, the provisions of regulation 326(1) shall apply and an application for approval need not be made, in respect of that appliance.

To each electrical appliance delivered to the Director pursuant to this regulation the applicant or his agent shall attach or affix a label bearing the signature of the applicant or his agent and showing in legible writing —

the name in full of the applicant;

the date of application to the Director for the approval of the electrical appliance;

the designation of the class of electrical appliance under which it is prescribed;

the type and description of the electrical appliance;

the manufacturer’s catalogue number, type number, or other means of distinguishing the type of electrical appliance,

There shall be payable in respect of any application for an approval under this regulation —

a fee of such amount as is determined by the Director having regard to the cost and nature of the type of investigation, examination and other action necessary prior to the issue, or refusal, of approval; and

such other expenses related to that application as the Director may certify to have been incurred,
