(1) If an inspector
reasonably believes that a measuring instrument is used for trade, the
inspector may —
(a)
examine and test the instrument;
(b)
require a person —
(i)
who is in the building, place or vehicle where the
instrument is found; or
(ii)
who the inspector reasonably believes may be able to
provide relevant information,
to answer questions,
or produce records under the person’s control, concerning the instrument
or its use; and
(c) make
copies of or take extracts from records so produced,
and, if the inspector
reasonably believes that an offence against this Act has been committed
involving the measuring instrument, may seize and retain the instrument and
any records so produced.
(2) Also, the
inspector may record the details of any measuring instrument that is examined
or tested under this section in the way the inspector considers appropriate,
including by filming or photographing.
