art 6 Powers of an inspector
(1) An inspector— (a) may dispense in writing with all or any of the requirements in article 4 for written notification if the inspector believes that notification otherwise given has furnished him or her with sufficient information about any susceptible material the delivery or despatch of which falls under the provisions of this Order; (b) giving written dispensation pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) must, as soon as reasonably practical, post or otherwise deliver the written dispensation to the person obtaining the dispensation. (2) An inspector may, for the purposes of checking compliance with this Order— (a) exercise the powers conferred by article 25(1)(a) and (b) of the principal Order, as if checking compliance with the principal Order; and (b) having entered premises by virtue of sub-paragraph (a), require production of documentation or records (in whatever form they may be held) relating to the production of or trade in any susceptible material and may examine and copy such documentation or records. (3) Where documentation or records required to be examined by an inspector pursuant to paragraph (2)(b) are kept by means of a computer, an inspector may— (a) require access to any computer and any associated apparatus or material which is or has been in use in connection with the documentation or records; and (b) require any person having charge of, or otherwise concerned with the operation of, the computer, apparatus or material, to provide such assistance as he or she may reasonably require. (4) Any power conferred by article 25 of the principal Order which is exercised by virtue of this article shall be treated as if that power had been exercised under the principal Order, and the provisions of the principal Order (including article 33(1)(a) and (c), (2) and (6) (offences)) shall apply accordingly.
