§  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 §  2.956.

   (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.
