("the Act") and acting under delegated authority from the Secretary of Commerce, pursuant to section 41 of the State Sector Act 1988, I, Tony Leverton, Manager, Standards and Safety, hereby give notice that I intend to apply, after 1 month from the date of publication of this notice in the

(ECP 3:1998).
The code was issued by me on the 15th day of May 2000, acting pursuant to section 36 of the Act.
