Section 71 Investigating failure to comply with standards etcI1
The Commissioner may investigate whether a person (D) has failed to comply with a relevant requirement.
In this Part, “relevant requirement” means any of the following—
a duty to comply with a standard specified by the Welsh Ministers (see section 25);
a requirement included in a decision notice by virtue of section 79 (requirement to prepare action plan or take steps);
an action plan (see sections 79 and 80);
a requirement included in a decision notice by virtue of section 82 (publicising failure to comply).
If the relevant requirement is a duty to comply with a standard, the Commissioner may undertake an investigation under this section only if he or she suspects that D has failed to comply with the relevant requirement.
