sec.277 Testing by regulator

If required by the regulator, the owner of the cathodic protection system must provide access to the system, and provide all facilities and equipment for the testing of the system. Maximum penalty—40 penalty units. If, on testing, the cathodic protection system is found not to comply with the requirements of this part, the costs incurred by the regulator in conducting the test, including the indirect and overhead costs incurred by the regulator, are a debt payable by the owner of the system to the State.
