If a justice of the peace, on sworn information in writing, is satisfied that there is reasonable ground for entry into any such premises as are mentioned in paragraph (2), for any such purpose as is mentioned in paragraph (1), and either —
a
that admission to the premises has been refused, or a refusal is apprehended, and that notice of the intention to apply for a warrant has been given to the occupier; or

that an application for admission, or the giving of such a notice, would defeat the object of the entry, or that the case is one of urgency, or that the premises are unoccupied or the occupier temporarily absent,
the justice may by warrant signed by him authorise the authorised officer to enter the premises, if need be by reasonable force.

d
retain and preserve the remaining part as an officially sealed reference sample.
Supply of part of sample to manufacturer
85
If the person who manufactured a substance or, as the case may be, article or product, of which an authorised person has taken a sample, is not a person to whom part of the sample is required to be sent under regulation 84, that regulation shall have effect as if, for the reference to three parts, there were substituted a reference to four parts, and the authorised person shall send the fourth part to the manufacturer, unless he does not know the manufacturer’s name, or any address of his in the United Kingdom, and is unable, after making reasonable enquiries, to ascertain the name or, as the case may be, any such address, before the expiration of fourteen days from the date when the sample was taken.
Statement to accompany sample
86
There shall be sent with the part of the sample sent to the agricultural analyst pursuant to regulation 84, a statement signed by the authorised person that the sample was taken in the manner referred to in regulation 83(8).

Alternative arrangements for carrying out analyses
88
If the agricultural analyst to whom a sample is sent for analysis under regulation 84 determines that an effective analysis of the sample cannot be made by him or under his direction, he shall send it to the agricultural analyst for another area or, in Northern Ireland, to another agricultural analyst in Northern Ireland, together with any documents received by him with the sample, and thereupon regulation 87 shall apply, as if the sample had originally been sent to that other agricultural analyst.
