The Authority may serve a prohibition notice on a registered supplier who supplies registered goods prohibiting that registered supplier from supplying the registered goods, if it reasonably believes that —
the registered goods do not comply with any energy efficiency standard;
the energy label is not marked or affixed in accordance with this Act; or
the registered goods bear an energy label containing false or misleading information about the energy efficiency or performance characteristics of the goods.
A prohibition notice shall specify the date on which the prohibition takes effect and shall, if necessary, specify any condition in respect of the prohibition.
A person who fails to comply with a prohibition notice is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $2,000 and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a further fine not exceeding $1,000 for every day or part thereof during which the offence continues after conviction.
