              (i)     is of a kind which could have been included in a search warrant issued under this Part; or

              (ii)     will afford evidence about the contravention of any Consumer Act; and

        (b)     in the case of the seizure of a thing, the inspector believes on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to seize that thing in order to prevent its concealment, loss or destruction or its use in the contravention of this Act or any other Consumer Act.
