Sec. 2.909 Responsible party.
The following parties are responsible for the compliance of radio frequency
equipment with the applicable standards:
(a) In the case of equipment which requires the issuance by the Commission
of a grant of equipment authorization, the party to whom that grant of
authorization is issued (the grantee) If the radio frequency equipment is
modified by any party other than the grantee and that party is not working
under the authorization of the grantee pursuant to Sec. 2.929(b), the party
performing the modification is responsible for compliance of the product
with the applicable administrative and technical provisions in this chapter.
(b) In the case of equipment subject to authorization under the verification
procedure, the manufacturer or, in the case of imported equipment, the
importer. If subsequent to manufacture and importation, the radio frequency
equipment is modified by any party not working under the authority of the
responsible party, the party performing the modification becomes the new
responsible party.
(c) In the case of equipment subject to authorization under the Declaration
of Conformity procedure:
(1) The manufacturer or, if the equipment is assembled from individual
component parts and the resulting system is subject to authorization under a
Declaration of Conformity, the assembler.
(2) If the equipment, by itself, is subject to a Declaration of Conformity
and that equipment is imported, the importer.
(3) Retailers or original equipment manufacturers may enter into an
agreement with the responsible party designated in paragraph (c)(1) or
(c)(2) of this section to assume the responsibilities to ensure compliance
of equipment and become the new responsible party.
(4) If the radio frequency equipment is modified by any party not working
under the authority of the responsible party, the party performing the
modifications, if located within the U.S., or the importer, if the equipment
is imported subsequent to the modifications, becomes the new responsible
party.
(d) If, because of modifications performed subsequent to authorization, a
new party becomes responsible for ensuring that a product complies with the
technical standards and the new party does not obtain a new equipment
authorization, the equipment shall be labelled, following the specifications
in Sec. 2.925(d), with the following: “This product has been modified by [insert
name, address and telephone number of the party performing the
modifications].”
