Sec. 15.27 Special accessories.
(a) Equipment marketed to a consumer must be capable of complying with the
necessary regulations in the configuration in which the equipment is
marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special
connectors, are required to enable an unintentional or intentional radiator
to comply with the emission limits in this part, the equipment must be
marketed with, i.e., shipped and sold with, those special accessories.
However, in lieu of shipping or packaging the special accessories with the
unintentional or intentional radiator, the responsible party may employ
other methods of ensuring that the special accessories are provided to the
consumer, without additional charge, at the time of purchase. Information
detailing any alternative method used to supply the special accessories
shall be included in the application for a grant of equipment authorization
or retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party
responsible for the equipment, as detailed in Sec. 2.909 of this chapter, shall
ensure that these special accessories are provided with the equipment. The
instruction manual for such devices shall include appropriate instructions
on the first page of the text concerned with the installation of the device
that these special accessories must be used with the device. It is the
responsibility of the user to use the needed special accessories supplied
with the equipment. In cases where the manual is provided only in a form
other than paper, such as on a computer disk or over the Internet, the
information required by this section may be included in the manual in that
alternative form, provided the user can reasonably be expected to have the
capability to access information in that form.
(b) If a device requiring special accessories is installed by or under the
supervision of the party marketing the device, it is the responsibility of
that party to install the equipment using the special accessories. For
equipment requiring professional installation, it is not necessary for the
responsible party to market the special accessories with the equipment.
However, the need to use the special accessories must be detailed in the
instruction manual, and it is the responsibility of the installer to provide
and to install the required accessories.
(c) Accessory items that can be readily obtained from multiple retail
outlets are not considered to be special accessories and are not required to
be marketed with the equipment. The manual included with the equipment must
specify what additional components or accessories are required to be used in
order to ensure compliance with this part, and it is the responsibility of
the user to provide and use those components and accessories.
(d) The resulting system, including any accessories or components marketed
with the equipment, must comply with the regulations.
