If a person is guilty of an offence under subsection (2) and —
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
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.
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
