Sec. 2.953  Responsibility for compliance.

    (a) In verifying compliance, the responsible party, as defined in 
Sec. 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 Sec. 2.955 however should be in the English 
language and made available to the Commission upon a reasonable request, 
in accordance with Sec. 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 Sec. 2.909 bears responsibility for 
continued compliance of subsequently produced equipment.
