or owner shall surrender the certificate of fitness pertaining to such machinery to an Inspector
who on receipt of such a certificate shall cancel or suspend it and no issue of a new certificate or
renewal of any suspended certificate shall be made until such machinery has been repaired to his
satisfaction; and
(ii) in the case of other machinery or factory and before resuming the use of such machinery or
the operation of such factory the owner or occupier thereof shall send a notice in writing to an
