Variance
.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
Variance is a tool used by a safety officer that allows for
- a deviation from the application of a regulation under section 32 of the Safety Standards Act (the Act), or allows for
- a use other than the standard use of a regulated product ( as long as the proposed use is not specifically prohibited under the Act).
Safety officers may only issue variances for such things as a deviation from strict code adherence and only when they are convinced that equivalent safety will be obtained under variance.
Variances can be applied to any regulated work or product, including units, installation permits, operating permits, and design/product registrations and approvals.
