§  2.1072   Limitation on Declaration of Conformity.

   (a) The Declaration of Conformity signifies that the responsible party,
   as defined in § 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.
