(e)the plant specified in a boiler upgrade voucher is not eligible, or not eligible in relation to the property specified in the voucher,

(2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the Authority is deemed to have reasonable grounds to suspect the matters mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) or (b) if it receives notification from the Microgeneration Certification Scheme or an equivalent scheme or a consumer code that the installer is under investigation by them for breach of a requirement of the Microgeneration Certification Scheme, the equivalent scheme or the consumer code.

They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
