Section 34 of 105
33. Exceptions, Exemptions and Permitted Deviations
Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-34 · 22 content blocks
- System05 shall distinguish among exceptions, exemptions, and deviations.
- An exception is a condition already defined within the Rule under which part of the Rule does not apply.
An exemption is a formally authorized removal of applicability for a defined class, profile, asset, or condition.
A deviation is project- or asset-specific authorization to depart from an otherwise applicable requirement.
Each permitted departure shall identify:
- Affected Rule.
- Applicant.
- Reason.
- Scope.
- Duration.
- Affected assets.
- Risk assessment.
- Compensating measures.
- Required evidence.
- Approval authority.
- Monitoring conditions.
- Expiration or closure.
- Impact on conformance claims.
- No deviation shall be approved merely because compliance is inconvenient, delayed, or more expensive.
Life-safety and constitutional interoperability requirements shall not be waived without authority specifically empowered to evaluate the consequence.
A deviation shall not amend the underlying Rule or become an informal precedent. Repeated deviations may indicate that the Rule requires review.
Expired, exceeded, or unimplemented deviation conditions shall result in nonconformity.
