This section applies if an authorised person intends to ask an occupier of a place to consent to the authorised person or another authorised person entering the place under section 93 (1) (a) . Before asking for the consent, the authorised person must tell the occupier— the purpose of the entry; and that the occupier is not required to consent. If the consent is given, the authorised person may ask the occupier to sign an acknowledgement of the consent. The acknowledgement must state— the occupier has been told— the purpose of the entry; and that the occupier is not required to consent; and the purpose of the entry; and the occupier gives the authorised person consent to enter the place and exercise powers under this division; and the time and date the consent was given. If the occupier signs the acknowledgement, the authorised person must immediately give a copy to the occupier.
