Equivalent Safety Findings Clause Samples

The Equivalent Safety Findings clause allows for alternative methods or measures to be accepted as compliant, provided they achieve a level of safety equivalent to that required by the original standards or regulations. In practice, this means that if a party can demonstrate, through analysis or testing, that their approach offers the same degree of safety as the prescribed method, the alternative can be approved by the relevant authority. This clause is essential for accommodating innovation and flexibility, enabling parties to use new technologies or processes while still maintaining required safety standards.
Equivalent Safety Findings. Again, these are to both the CA and the VA regulations, as above for exemptions.
