"safety standards" means standards regulating the design, construction, equipping, functioning or performance of means of containment or facilities used or intended to be used in handling, offering for transport or transporting dangerous goods;

BEHIND THE WORDS

As with the definition of "safety requirements" this definition is limited to the concept of public safety. Observe that not every standard followed in manufacturing a means of containment is automatically a "safety standard". Only those standards relating to the activities or performances noted in the definition and which are required to be followed by regulation (see paragraph 27(1)(j)), are "safety standards". Please note that when the words "standards" and "safety" are used together in this document in the phrase "safety standards" they become a defined phrase.

Safety standards may be, but are not limited to, documents published by a standards writing organization, a government or an industry organization and which are identified by regulations under this Act.
