Application for registration of controlled goods
7.—(1)  Subject to paragraph (3), an application for registration of any controlled goods shall be made by a Registered Supplier and shall be in such form as the Safety Authority may require accompanied by —
(a)a certificate of conformity certifying that the controlled goods conform to the safety requirements specified by the Safety Authority for those controlled goods;
(b)such other documents and information as the Safety Authority may require; and
(c)a fee not exceeding the amount specified in the Third Schedule, which shall not be refundable.
(2)  For the purpose of paragraph (1)(a), the certificate of conformity shall be issued by —
(a)a CAB (Local) which certified the controlled goods based on test reports issued in respect of those controlled goods by that or any other CAB (Local);
(b)a CAB (Local) which certified the controlled goods based on test reports issued in respect of those controlled goods by an RTL;
(c)a CAB (Local) which certified the controlled goods based on test reports issued in respect of those controlled goods by a testing laboratory in a country other than Singapore appointed by that country for purposes of its MRA with Singapore; or
(d)a CAB (Foreign — MRA).
(3)  Where —
(a)there is no CAB (Local) able to test or certify any controlled goods for the purpose of paragraph (1)(a) without unreasonable delay; and
(b)the Safety Authority is satisfied that it would be unreasonable to require the Registered Supplier to have the controlled goods tested or certified by a CAB (Foreign — MRA),
the Safety Authority may, if it thinks fit, perform such conformity assessment on the controlled goods as may be necessary to ensure the controlled goods conform to its safety requirements, and register those controlled goods notwithstanding paragraph (1)(a) is not complied with.
(4)  Any costs and expenses incurred by the Safety Authority in performing any conformity assessment referred to in paragraph (3) shall be borne by the Registered Supplier.
(5)  The Safety Authority shall notify the Registered Supplier in writing of the registration of the controlled goods for which the Registered Supplier has made an application under paragraph (1).
(6)  The Safety Authority may impose such conditions as it thinks fit on the registration of any controlled goods.
(7)  A Registered Supplier who —
(a)procures or attempts to procure the registration of any controlled goods by knowingly making or producing or causing to be made or produced any false or fraudulent certificate of conformity; or
(b)fraudulently or dishonestly uses as genuine a certificate of conformity which he knows or has reason to believe is forged or altered,
shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $2,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both.
