(b)requiring him to carry out at his own expense the cleansing and disinfection set out in the notice within a period specified in the notice.
(2) Notwithstanding that this Order requires treatment with an approved disinfectant, if an inspector is satisfied that a particular disinfectant is necessary in any given case, he may serve a notice on the person who is required to carry out cleansing and disinfection requiring that person to use the disinfectant specified in the notice, at the strength specified in the notice.
(3) A person on whom a notice has been served under this Article shall comply with the notice.
