Following maintenance activity involving the right off-wing slide system, the aircraft had a slide door alert message illuminate while being de-iced. The aircraft was released for the flight under the authority of the minimum equipment list. During the approach to the Vancouver International Airport, the right off-wing slide compartment door opened, and the right off-wing slide separated from the aircraft. The aircraft landed without further incident. The Board determined that the right off-wing slide compartment door opened in flight because the secondary lock shear-pin had been inadvertently sheared during recent inspection; this maintenance error remained undetected because existing required inspection procedures had not been followed. Contributing to the deviations from formal standard practices was inadequate understanding of the system on the part of the maintenance technicians and supervisor.
