AUTHORITY TO METHYLATE SPIRIT  
51(1)
Spirits may be methylated only by authority, only in a Customs Warehouse, the Spirit Store of a Spirit Maker's Distillery or the premises specified in the methylator's licence or at any other place approved by the Collector and, subject to the next succeeding sub-regulation, under the supervision of an officer.

51(2)
Where -

(a) the Collector is satisfied that a methylator keeps records that show -

(i) details of the receipt and disposal of all materials capable of being used in methylation;

(ii) details of all materials used in methylation; and

(iii) details of all methylated spirits produced, stored, or disposed of, by him; and

(b) the methods adopted, and the precautions taken, by the methylator in and after carrying out methylation are, in the opinion of the Collector, such as to render the carrying out of the operation under the supervision of an officer unnecessary,

the Collector may, by writing under his hand exempt the methylator from compliance with the requirement of the last preceding sub-regulation that spirits may only be methylated under the supervision of an officer, and, while the exemption remains in force, the methylator is not required to comply with the requirements of that provision.

51(3)
A methylator to whom an exemption has been granted under the last preceding sub-regulation shall furnish to the Collector, at such times as the Collector requires in a form approved by the Collector, such returns relating to the details referred to in paragraph (a) of that sub-regulation as the Collector directs.
