37.—(1) The LTA may, on its own initiative or otherwise, and in accordance with subsections (2), (3), (4) and (5), give such safety and security directives of general application as may be necessary —(a)

to avoid any actual or imminent occurrence of death of, or a serious injury to, any individual, or of serious damage to any property, from the use of any EV charger; or

(b)

to alleviate or minimise a serious and imminent threat or risk to the national security of Singapore.

(2) The LTA may give a safety and security directive made under this section to all or any of the following, individually or as a class:(a)

a manufacturer or supplier of an EV charger;

(b)

a registered responsible person for a registered‑for‑charging EV charger;

(c)

a person who has charge and control of an unregistered EV charger;

(3) In making a safety and security directive under this section, it is not necessary for the LTA to give any person who may be affected by the directive a chance to be heard before the directive is given.

(4) A safety and security directive may be in force for a period not exceeding 6 months unless earlier revoked under subsection (5), and may be renewed by the LTA once only for a further period not exceeding 6 months.

(5) The LTA may, at any time when any safety and security directive is in force, revoke the safety and security directive by giving notice of that revocation in the same manner as the directive was given.
