Schedule 13: Penalties imposed by OFCOM under Chapter 6 of Part 7 Business disruption measures Section 146: Access restriction orders
This section sets out the circumstances in which OFCOM may apply to the courts for an "access restriction order". An access restriction order can require third parties who provide an "access facility" to take steps to impede access to a non-compliant regulated service, by preventing, restricting or deterring individuals in the United Kingdom from accessing that service. Examples of access facilities are internet service providers and app stores which may be required to restrict access to a service provider’s website or app via their service.
	In order to apply for an access restriction order, OFCOM must consider that a service restriction order under section 144 or 145 would not be sufficient to prevent significant harm to individuals in the United Kingdom.
