14 Technical codes—approval (1) The Minister may approve a technical code as recommended by the technical regulator if the Minister is satisfied on reasonable grounds that— (a) section 13 has been complied with; and (b) the technical code is— (i) consistent with the objects of this Act; and (ii) not inconsistent with another technical code. (2) An approved technical code may apply, adopt or incorporate a law or instrument, or a provision of a law or instrument, as in force from time to time. (3) The Legislation Act, section 47 (6) does not apply in relation to an AS or AS/NZS applied, adopted or incorporated under subsection (2). Note An AS or AS/NZS does not need to be notified under the Legislation Act because s 47 (6) does not apply (see Legislation Act, s 47 (7)). An AS or AS/NZS may be purchased at www.standards.org.au. (4) An approval is a disallowable instrument.
