sec.158 Modification of certificate of conformity—other than a change of name or model

This section applies if the holder of a certificate of conformity for a type of level 3 in-scope electrical equipment issued under this division proposes to make any modification to the equipment, other than a modification described in section 157 , that would not result in the creation of a new type of equipment. The holder may apply to the regulator for the modification of the certificate. The application must be— in the approved form; and accompanied by— a test report relating to the modified in-scope electrical equipment from an approved testing entity; and an item of the type or colour images showing the internal and external construction of an item of the type; and technical documentation that adequately describes the modified in-scope electrical equipment; and accompanied by the fee for the application. The regulator may require the applicant to provide— an item of the type if colour images provided are not adequate; or additional information about the modified electrical equipment. The regulator may exempt the applicant from the requirement to provide a test report under subsection (3) (b) (i) if the regulator is satisfied the modification will not affect the safety of the type. The regulator may waive or rebate the payment of the fee for the modification of the certificate if the regulator, under subsection (5) , exempts the applicant from the requirement to provide a test report. The regulator may modify a certificate of conformity and issue a modified certificate if satisfied the modification to the type would not result in the creation of a new type of in-scope electrical equipment. If the regulator refuses to modify the certificate, the regulator must give the applicant an information notice for the decision to refuse.
