Under which conditions can launch organizers operate in violation of the NAR Safety Code?

• A. The property owner consents
• B. The local authorities give written permission
• C. Local laws are followed and two thirds of the NAR Board of Trustees give written permission for a project that offers commensurate levels of safety
• D. Never

Answer: (C)

Exceptions to the NAR Safety Code are possible only through a formal waiver process. Launch organizers may operate in violation of the code only if local laws are followed and the NAR Board of Trustees, by a written vote of at least two-thirds, approves a project that offers safety at least as good as the standard. This high bar ensures any deviation is thoroughly reviewed and shown to maintain equivalent risk control. Relying solely on a property owner’s permission or on local authorities’ permission does not override the NAR Safety Code, and there is a legitimate pathway to approval when the safety plan is demonstrably commensurate with the code.
