Schedule 2
This Schedule contains provisions relating to powers of entry for enforcement. The Schedule sets out the powers of an officer who is an authorised officer of an enforcement authority for the purposes of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Act. He/she may enter premises (other than premises used only as a private dwelling which is not open to the public), require and take possession of samples and substances, and request information. Provision is also made for a justice of the peace to issue warrants where admission is likely to be refused and in certain other cases. In enforcement cases where the appropriate national authority acts as the enforcement authority, the same provisions apply to persons discharging enforcement authority functions on behalf of the appropriate national authority.
