§ 2.953   Responsibility for compliance.

   (a) In verifying compliance, the responsible party, as defined in § 2.909
   warrants  that  each unit of equipment marketed under the verification
   procedure will be identical to the unit tested and found acceptable with the
   standards and that the records maintained by the responsible party continue
   to reflect the equipment being produced under such verification within the
   variation that can be expected due to quantity production and testing on a
   statistical basis.

   (b) The importer of equipment subject to verification may, upon receiving a
   written statement from the manufacturer that the equipment complies with the
   appropriate technical standards, rely on the manufacturer or independent
   testing agency to verify compliance. The test records required by § 2.955
   however  should  be  in the English language and made available to the
   Commission upon a reasonable request, in accordance with § 2.945.

   (c) In the case of transfer of control of equipment, as in the case of sale
   or merger of the grantee, the new manufacturer or importer shall bear the
   responsibility of continued compliance of the equipment.

   (d) Verified equipment shall be reverified if any modification or change
   adversely affects the emanation characteristics of the modified equipment.
   The party designated in § 2.909 bears responsibility for continued compliance
   of subsequently produced equipment.
