§ 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 § 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.
