Delegated Legislation

Volume 686: debated on Thursday 2 November 2006

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What has been the impact of the failure hitherto to include Amendment No. 2 (AMD 14905) March 2004 in the Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity (Amendment) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1521).[HL7892]

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What notice period of inspections is to be given under paragraph 9(2) of the Measuring Instruments (Active Electrical Energy Meters) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1679).[HL7894]

This paragraph provides the power for GEMA (and NIAER) to carry out inspections of UK notified bodies it has designated.

Following designation, GEMA will carry out inspection visits regarding the exercise of the notified body's duties and functions under the Measuring Instruments (Active Electrical Energy Meters) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/1679). The timing and notice period for such inspections will be agreed wherever possible between GEMA and the notified body on a reasonable basis. What constitutes a reasonable notice period will be dictated by individual circumstances.
