(1) Before the completion of a new installation, other than an installation belonging to a supply authority, the owner thereof shall forward, in duplicate, to the commission, an application for registration in the prescribed form. The Commission shall cause inspection and tests to be made within the prescribed period and, if the installation satisfies the requirements of this Act, shall issue or cause to be issued a Certificate of Registration in the prescribed form: Provided that at any time from the date of the commencement of this Act until such date as the Minister may by notification in the Gazette appoint it shall be lawful for the Commission at his discretion without causing any inspection or tests to be made to issue in respect of any such installation a provisional Certificate of Registration to be valid for such period and to be subject to such conditions as may be endorsed thereon and any reference in this Act to a Certificate of Registration shall unless the context otherwise requires be deemed to have had effect from such date as the Commission may endorse thereon at the time of issuing the same. Any such provisional Certificate of Registration may be revoked or cancelled by the Commission at any time at his discretion. (2) No person shall possess or operate an installation, unless the installation is registered on a valid Certificate of Registration. (3) Certificates of Registration shall be surrendered by the owner or licensee to the Commission for cancellation if the installation is no longer required to be used. Thereafter, if the owner or licensee wishes to operate the installation again, the said installation shall be treated in all respects as if it is a new installation. (4) A Certificate of Registration may be cancelled in accordance with regulations made under section 53. (5) Certificates of Registration shall not be transferred without the permission of the Commission.
