87K: Board may conduct investigation on own initiative

You could also call this:

"The Board can start an investigation if it thinks something is wrong."

Illustration for Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006

The Board can start an investigation on its own if it thinks there are good reasons to believe something is wrong. You can find what the Board looks for in section 87I(2). The Board can do this without someone making a complaint under section 87I. When the Board decides to investigate, it must tell the self-containment certification authority in writing right away. Then the Board will look into the matter. The Board has to do this as soon as it makes the decision to investigate.
