sec.13 Mandatory and preferred standards for particular safety requirements

A standard or other document listed in schedule 2 , column 1 is prescribed as a safety requirement for the activity or thing stated opposite the document in column 2. A standard or other document is a mandatory standard for an activity or thing if column 3 of the schedule, opposite the document and activity or thing, states it is a mandatory standard. A standard or other document is a preferred standard for an activity or thing if column 3 of the schedule, opposite the document and activity or thing, states it is a preferred standard. If a mandatory standard or preferred standard allows a competent person, or another person, to grant an exemption from, or change to, the requirements stated in the standard, the exemption or change must be granted or made by the chief inspector. An Australian Standard mentioned in schedule 2 allows a competent person to grant an exemption from provisions of the standard. For the purpose of this regulation, the exemption can only be granted by the chief inspector. If a safety requirement prescribed under this section is inconsistent with a safety requirement prescribed under another provision of this regulation, the safety requirement prescribed under the other provision prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.
