Obligations of technical standards
(1) The technical standards are binding on everyone concerned unless they are identified as recommended.
(2) The authority responsible for the approval of the standard shall determine which technical standards shall be designated as recommended. The person to whom the standard so indicated applies may derogate from it or from some of its provisions if there are reasons for doing so. The authority which approves the standard may, in a standard, determine that the user of the recommended standard is obliged to notify him if he deviates from the standard or some of its provisions.
(3) Where only certain provisions of the technical standard are designated as recommended, the provisions of paragraph 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
(1) The State Office of Inventions and Standardisation (hereinafter referred to as "the Office") may authorise an exemption from the obligations of the State Standard if there are serious economic or technical reasons and the request is supported by an economic analysis. This exemption may cover the whole of the State standard or some of its provisions. The Authority may also entrust other bodies guaranteeing impartiality by authorising exemptions.
(2) The Authority, after a delegated authority, authorises exemptions from the obligations of state standards after consultation with the central authorities and authorities involved. Exemptions from the obligations of State standards referred to in Article 1 (1) (b), (c) which do not interfere directly with production may be authorised by the Authority without consulting the central authorities and authorities when they are discussed with participants affected by the exemption authorisation. For reasons of general interest, urgent needs or where the exemption concerns only one participant, the exemption may be granted without such consultation. If the Authority has not negotiated an exemption with the competent central authorities or authorities and has authorised an exemption, it shall inform them accordingly.
(3) Exemptions from the obligations of other technical standards shall be granted by the authority to which the standard is approved.
(4) Exceptions to technical standards may not be allowed if such exemptions would be at the expense of the safety of life and health or the protection of things.
