The "general control" clause as published in the government gazette, 6 March 2009 is actually very clear on that issue: "in relation to electrical installation work that is being carried out, includes instruction, guidance and supervision in respect of that work."
Not really a grey area, if you sign off a CoC and did not instruct, guide and supervise (the wording of the clause is "includes"), you cannot legally sign off a coc, and if it can be proven that you have signed off a coc and not exercised the "general control" required, that coc is invalid.
Fitting a piece of conduit and saddles unfortunately is installation work, so is fitting a gland to an inspection box. If it was not supervised, you would be breaking the law.
