Special inspection scheme
10.—(1)  Any person who wishes to supply or advertise to supply any batch of controlled goods of a type, class or description may, instead of complying with regulation 5, make an application under this regulation for the batch of goods to be approved under the special inspection scheme.
(2)  A person shall be eligible to make an application under this scheme if he satisfies the Safety Authority that it would not be economically viable for him, having regard to the class and quantity of the goods expected to be traded in Singapore, to comply with regulation 5.
(3)  An application made under paragraph (1) shall be on such form as may be determined by the Safety Authority and shall be accompanied by a fee of such an amount as determined by the Authority.
(4)  An application fee paid in accordance with paragraph (3) shall not be refunded notwithstanding that the application may not be granted.
(5)  The Safety Authority may, upon allowing an application under this regulation, require —
(a)the batch of goods to be subject to special testing at the applicant’s premises; and
(b)the applicant to furnish to the Authority a letter of indemnity in such form as the Authority may require to indemnify the Authority, its members, directors, officers and employees against any loss or damage that may arise if the batch of goods is found to be defective.
(6)  Where the Safety Authority is satisfied that a batch of goods is safe for use, it may approve the supply or advertisement of that batch of controlled goods and it may in granting the approval impose such conditions as it thinks fit.
(7)  An approval granted under this regulation shall, notwithstanding regulations 3 and 4, authorise any person to supply or advertise for the purpose of supply the approved batch of goods.
(8)  There shall be no right of appeal against the decision of the Safety Authority not to allow an application under this regulation.
