  9  Requirements of Trade Practices (Consumer Product Safety Standards) Regulations 1979 – Regulation 11C(3)
       (1)    If an elastic luggage strap does not comply with section 8, the elastic luggage strap must comply with the standard set by Regulation 11C(3) of the Trade Practices (Consumer Product Safety Standards) Regulations 1979 (Federal Register of Legislation No. F2004C00303), as that Regulation was in force immediately before the commencement of this instrument.
             Note 1: The Regulation could in 2017 be viewed on the Federal Register of Legislation website (https://www.legislation.gov.au).
