(2)  An inspector who enters upon or into premises in pursuance of subsection (1) is not authorized to remain on the premises if, on request by or on behalf of the occupier or person in charge of the premises, he does not produce a certificate issued to him for the purposes of subsection 18 (2).
(3)  An inspector who enters upon or into premises in pursuance of subsection (1) may—
	(a)	conduct such search and inspection of the premises and such inspection of any material or apparatus on the premises as he thinks necessary to determine whether there is any contravention of this Act;
	(b)	test any material or apparatus that he has reason to believe is radioactive material or irradiating apparatus;

Powers of entry and seizure
20.  An inspector may enter upon or into premises and may search for and seize any thing that he believes on reasonable grounds to be connected with an offence against this Act that is found on the premises if, and only if, the search and seizure is made by the inspector—
	(a)	in accordance with section 19;
	(b)	in pursuance of a warrant issued under section 21;
	(c)	in circumstances of seriousness and urgency, in accordance with section 22; or

Search warrants
21.  (1)  Where an information on oath is laid before a Magistrate alleging that there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that there may be upon or in any premises a thing or things of a particular kind connected with a particular offence against a provision of this Act, and the information sets out those grounds, the Magistrate may issue a search warrant authorizing the inspector named in the warrant, with such assistance as he thinks necessary and if necessary by force—
	(a)	to enter upon or into the premises;
	(b)	to search the premises for things of that kind; and
	(c)	to seize any thing of that kind found upon or in the premises that he believes on reasonable grounds to be connected with that offence.
(2)  A Magistrate shall not issue a warrant under subsection (1) unless—

	(c)	a description of the kind of things authorized to be seized; and
	(d)	a date, not being later than one month after the date of issue of the warrant, upon which the warrant ceases to have effect.
(4)  If, in the course of searching, in accordance with a warrant issued under this section, for things connected with a particular offence against this Act, being things of a kind specified in the warrant, an inspector finds any thing that he believes on reasonable grounds to be connected with the offence, although not of a kind specified in the warrant, or to be connected with another offence against this Act, and he believes on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to seize that thing in order to prevent its concealment, loss or destruction, or its use in committing, continuing or repeating the offence or in committing the other offence, the warrant shall be deemed to authorize him to seize that thing.
Searches in emergencies
22.  (1)  An inspector may enter upon or into any premises on or in which he believes on reasonable grounds that any thing connected with an offence against this Act is situated and may seize any such thing that he finds upon or in the premises if—
	(a)	the inspector believes on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to do so in order to prevent the concealment, loss or destruction of any thing connected with an offence against this Act; and
	(b)	the entry is made in circumstances of such seriousness and urgency as to require and justify immediate search or entry without the authority of a warrant issued under section 21.
(2)  An inspector who enters upon or into premises in pursuance of subsection (1) is not authorized to remain on the premises if, on request by or on behalf of the occupier or persons in charge of the premises, he does not produce a certificate issued to him for the purposes of subsection 18 (2).
Consent to entry
23.  (1)  Before obtaining the consent of a person for the purposes of section 20, an inspector shall inform the person that he may refuse to give his consent.
