I think like in so many other matters the ESO is being...um...passive in their enforcement.
Police regularly have sucessfull prosecutions bassed on undercover officers purchasing or being offered drugs, stolen goods or prostitution
services.
Its not entrapment when someone purchases an item that is plainly offered for sale.
Entrapment is where someone is provoked or encouraged to do something they may not yet have done.
It is very
well known that non compliant boat trailers are frequently refused entry at the customs barrier, on the basis that they are not compliant with our regs.
These caravans are not compliant before or after the transformer was fitted.
Now in QLD, it is required that the vehicle is inspected by a licenced electrical worker to be registered, that electrical worker should have produced a "certificate of test".
If a certificate of
test was produced over a non-compliant item the electrician can be prosecuted.
Like so many other situations it is a case of the ESO not being pro active and not being prepared or resourced to enforce the laws they are charged with enforcing.
As a result electrical non compliance is rife in all sectors.
