[22/2019] (2) Any person (whether in Singapore or not) who —(a) supplies or offers to supply to a person in Singapore any non‑compliant fire safety product as a compliant fire safety product or for use as a regulated fire safety product; or (b) in the course of such supply or offer, represents that the non‑compliant fire safety product is a compliant fire safety product or is fit for use as a regulated fire safety product, reckless or negligent as to whether the non-compliant fire safety product is a non‑compliant fire safety product, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction — (c) to a fine not exceeding $50,000; and (d) in the case of a continuing contravention, to an additional fine not exceeding $1,000 for each day or part of a day the contravention continues, and if the contravention continues after the conviction, the person shall be guilty of a further offence and shall be liable on conviction of this further offence to a fine not exceeding $2,000 for every day or part of a day during which the contravention continues after conviction. [22/2019] (3) If a person is guilty of an offence under subsection (2) and —(a) a fire occurs in a building in which that non‑compliant fire safety product is installed; (b) the non-compliant fire safety product does not, during the fire, function or perform in a manner that complies with the applicable standard for the regulated fire safety product; and (c) damage, death or injury attributable to the fire occurs, then the person shall, instead of the punishment prescribed in subsection (2)(c), be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $50,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both. [22/2019] (4) However, subsection (3) does not apply if it is proved, on a balance of probabilities, that the failure of the non‑compliant fire safety product to function or perform did not cause or worsen any damage, death or injury attributable to the fire.[32C [22/2019]
