Sec. 2.1072  Limitation on Declaration of Conformity.

    (a) The Declaration of Conformity signifies that the responsible 
party, as defined in Sec. 2.909, has determined that the equipment has 
been shown to comply with the applicable technical standards if no 
unauthorized change is made in the equipment and if the equipment is 
properly maintained and operated. Compliance with these standards shall 
not be construed to be a finding by the responsible party with respect 
to matters not encompassed by the Commission's rules.
    (b) A Declaration of Conformity by the responsible party is 
effective until a termination date is otherwise established by the 
Commission.
    (c) No person shall, in any advertising matter, brochure, etc., use 
or make reference to a Declaration of Conformity in a deceptive or 
misleading manner or convey the impression that such a Declaration of 
Conformity reflects more than a determination by the responsible party 
that the device or product has been shown to be capable of complying 
with the applicable technical standards of the Commission's rules.
