68. (1) The Office shall review and may approve as part of any T&D code, rules and procedures to be established or adopted by T&D licensees which provide appropriate standards for equipment that may be connected to or used in the generation or transmission and distribution of electricity.
Licensees shall, as a condition of licensing, connect only equipment meeting such standards to systems used in the generation or transmission and distribution of electricity.
It shall be a condition of access to systems used in the generation or transmission and distribution of electricity that licensees and consumers shall connect only equipment that meets such standards as are established or adopted under this section, and failure to comply with such standards is a reasonable ground to refuse to provide, to discontinue or to interrupt the provision of the relevant service under section 67.
Notwithstanding subsections (1), (2) and (3), the Office may, by published notice, exempt upon such reasonable terms and conditions as it thinks fit any equipment from the requirements of this section for such period of time as the Office considers appropriate and in granting such exemption the Office shall indicate in the notice —
the particular licensee, individual or company to which the exemption applies;
the reasons why the exemption is being granted;
the purpose for which the equipment may be used; and
the period of time for which the equipment may be used.
No licensee shall incur any liability for any exemption granted to another licensee or other person under this section.
