Sec. 700.2  Date of manufacture.

    Section 112 of the Act provides that the Act shall apply only to 
those consumer products manufactured after July 4, 1975. When a consumer 
purchases repair of a consumer product the date of manufacture of any 
replacement parts used is the measuring date for determining coverage 
under the Act. The date of manufacture of the consumer product being 
repaired is in this instance not relevant. Where a consumer purchases or 
obtains on an exchange basis a rebuilt consumer product, the date that 
the rebuilding process is completed determines the Act's applicability.
