Provisions as to marks and certificates of private testing.

15.(1) Any person delivering a certificate or other document of a like character relating to the proof or testing of any anchor or chain cable, or other chain or cable shall, unless it is either an anchor or chain cable which has been proved in accordance with this Act, or a chain or cable (not being a chain cable) which has been proved at a testing establishment in respect of which a licence granted under this Act was in force at the time of proof, place in some conspicuous part of the certificate or document, in such a manner as to be clearly legible, the words “privately tested.

(2) A person shall not place on any anchor or chain cable, or other chain or cable, any marks, or deliver in relation thereto any certificate or other document of a similar character, which would be calculated to lead persons to suppose that the anchor or chain cable, or other chain or cable, has been tested, unless it has been actually so tested.

(3) If any person fails to comply with, or acts in contravention of, this section, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanour.
