§ 2.945 Submission of equipment for testing and equipment records.
(a) Prior to certification. (1) The Commission or a Telecommunication
Certification Body (TCB) may require an applicant for certification to
submit one or more sample units for measurement at the Commission's
laboratory or the TCB.
(2) If the applicant fails to provide a sample of the equipment, the TCB may
dismiss the application without prejudice.
(3) In the event the applicant believes that shipment of the sample to the
Commission's laboratory or the TCB is impractical because of the size or
weight of the equipment, or the power requirement, or for any other reason,
the applicant may submit a written explanation why such shipment is
impractical and should not be required.
(4) The Commission may take administrative sanctions against a grantee of
certification that fails to respond within 21 days to a Commission or TCB
request for an equipment sample, such as suspending action on applications
for equipment authorization submitted by that party while the matter is
being resolved. The Commission may consider extensions of time upon
submission of a showing of good cause.
(b) Subsequent to equipment authorization. (1) The Commission may request
that the responsible party or any other party marketing equipment subject to
this chapter submit a sample of the equipment, or provide a voucher for the
equipment to be obtained from the marketplace, to determine the extent to
which production of such equipment continues to comply with the data filed
by the applicant or on file with the responsible party for equipment subject
to verification or Declaration of Conformity. The Commission may request
that a sample or voucher to obtain a product from the marketplace be
submitted to the Commission, or in the case of equipment subject to
certification, to the TCB that certified the equipment.
(2) A TCB may request samples of equipment that it has certified from the
grantee of certification, or request a voucher to obtain a product from the
marketplace, for the purpose of performing post-market surveillance as
described in § 2.962. TCBs must document their sample requests to show the
date they were sent and provide this documentation to the Commission upon
request.
(3) The cost of shipping the equipment to the Commission's laboratory and
back to the party submitting the equipment shall be borne by the party from
which the Commission requested the equipment.
(4) In the event a party believes that shipment of the sample to the
Commission's laboratory or the TCB is impractical because of the size or
weight of the equipment, or the power requirement, or for any other reason,
that party may submit a written explanation why such shipment is impractical
and should not be required.
(5) Failure of a responsible party or other party marketing equipment
subject to this chapter to comply with a request from the Commission or TCB
for equipment samples or vouchers within 21 days may be cause for actions
such as such as suspending action on applications for certification
submitted by a grantee or forfeitures pursuant to § 1.80 of this chapter. The
Commission or TCB requesting the sample may consider extensions of time upon
submission of a showing of good cause.
(c) Submission of records. Upon request by the Commission, each responsible
party shall submit copies of the records required by § § 2.938, 2.955, and
2.1075 to the Commission. Failure of a responsible party or other party
marketing equipment subject to this chapter to comply with a request from
the Commission for records within 21 days may be cause for forfeiture,
pursuant to § 1.80 of this chapter. The Commission may consider extensions of
time upon submission of a showing of good cause.
(d) Inspection by the Commission. Upon request by the Commission, each
responsible party shall make its manufacturing plant and facilities
available for inspection.
