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.
