### sec.662 Service provider test
An affected party for a meter may give the party’s service provider notice requiring a test to work out whether the meter is registering within its tolerance for error (a service provider test ).
The notice must be accompanied by any reasonable fee required by the service provider.
The service provider must, as soon as practicable—
cause an appropriately qualified person to carry out the test; and
obtain a meter test certificate for the test; and
give a copy of the certificate to—
the affected party; and
if the service provider is not the controller of the meter—the controller.
Maximum penalty—100 penalty units.
If the service provider reasonably considers the meter can not conveniently or safely be tested on its site, the provider must immediately advise the affected party.
The advice must include how long the meter will be away from the site and any additional charges likely to be incurred.
The affected party may, at any time, withdraw the notice.
If the withdrawal is made before the test is completed, the service provider must refund the fee for the test, less any cost already incurred in carrying out the test.
