FAIR TRADING ACT 1987—REGULATION

(Relating to refrigerators and freezers)

NEW SOUTH WALES

[Published in Gazette No. 12 of 24 January 1992]

HIS Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, and in pursuance of the Fair Trading Act 1987, has been pleased to make the Regulation set forth hereunder.

P. E. J. COLLINS

Minister for Consumer Affairs.

The Product Safety Regulation 1988 is amended by omitting Part 18.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The object of this Regulation is to repeal the provisions of the Product Safety Regulation 1988 that require refrigerators and freezers to be capable of being opened easily from within and that prohibit large refrigerators and freezers from

being fitted with locks. Refrigerators and freezers are subject to similar requirements under specifications adopted by an order in force under section 21 of the Electricity Act 1945. Consequently, the relevant provisions of the Product Safety Regulation 1988 are no longer necessary.
