sec.138 Requirements for safety report

For section 137 (2) (b) , a safety report must include a safety and risk assessment for each stage of use of the gas device, including at least the following— the effect a change in the refrigerant used by the device might have on the safety and reliability of the device; the hazards associated with each stage of use for the device, identified using a hazard identification model the approval person reasonably believes is appropriate, and the likely consequences and occurrence of each hazard; event tree analysis failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA) fault tree analysis hazard and operability study (HAZOP) the measures that could be carried out to control or avoid the risk associated with the hazards and the reasons why the applicant would or would not carry out the measures; the classes of people who might be affected if the device is not safe and any particular characteristics that increase their vulnerability; the risks for each stage of use for the device, including— if the device was originally designed for use with a non-flammable gas—a comparison of the risks identified with the risks associated with using the device as originally designed; and the risks to the community, whether direct or indirect; and if practicable, an estimate of the likely number of injuries and deaths of persons caused by the device in a year; the results of any testing carried out on the device; details of— the sources of information and data relied on to prepare the report; and any assumptions made in the report. For subsection (1) (e) , risks should be assessed quantitatively and qualitatively, to the extent appropriate in the circumstances. In this section— stage of use , for a relevant gas device, means each of the following for the device— installation; maintenance; use; decommissioning; disposal; obsolescence.
