3.—(1) Subject to this regulation and to regulation 4, it shall be the duty of each person who has, to any extent, control of premises to ensure that no notifiable device is situated on those premises unless the information set out in the Schedule to these Regulations has been notified in writing, on a form approved for the time being for the purposes of these Regulations by the Health and Safety Executive, to the local authority in whose area the premises are situated.

(2) Where the premises are to any extent under the control of the manufacturer of the device, it shall be sufficient compliance with paragraph (1) if the local authority in whose area the premises are situated is notified of the address of the premises and the name and telephone number of a person who has, to any extent, control of those premises.

(3) Where a notification has been made in accordance with paragraphs (1) or (2) of this regulation and subsequently a change occurs which affects the particulars notified, a person upon whom the duty is imposed by either of those paragraphs shall ensure that the change is notified in writing to the local authority concerned within one month after its occurrence.

(4) Where a notification has been made in accordance with paragraph (1), (2) or (3) of this regulation and subsequently the device ceases to be, and is no longer intended to remain, a notifiable device, a person upon whom the duty is imposed by any of those paragraphs shall as soon as is reasonably practicable after the cessation ensure that the fact is notified in writing to the local authority concerned.

(5) Paragraph (4) of this regulation shall not apply in any case where the operation of a notifiable device is suspended for the purposes of maintenance or by reason of seasonal shutdown.
