9.—(1) Where a non-production installation is to be converted to enable it to be operated as a production installation, the owner shall—

(a)prepare a design notification in respect of the proposed conversion containing, subject to paragraph (3), the particulars specified in Schedule 2 not contained in any current safety case for that installation; and

(2) The particulars specified in Schedule 2 which must be provided in respect of a design notification under paragraph (1) shall be construed as if all references to “operator” were references to the owner of the non-production installation to be converted.

(3) Paragraph (1) shall only require the particulars in the design notification to address the matters referred to in that paragraph to the extent that it is reasonable to expect the duty holder to address them at the time of sending the design notification to the Executive.

(b)revisions to the current safety case to the Executive in accordance with paragraph (5),

the duty holder shall notify the Executive of that change as soon as practicable.

(5) Where a non-production installation operated pursuant to a current safety case is converted to a production installation, the operator of that production installation shall ensure that it is not operated as a production installation unless—
