                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 82--PROTECTION OF STRATOSPHERIC OZONE--Table of Contents
 
  Subpart E--The Labeling of Products Using Ozone-Depleting Substances
 
Sec. 82.118  Compliance by wholesalers, distributors and retailers.

    (a) Requirement of compliance by wholesalers, distributors and 
retailers. All wholesalers, distributors and retailers of products or 
containers to which this subpart applies are required to pass through 
the labeling information that

accompanies the product, except those purchasing from other 
manufacturers or suppliers spare parts manufactured with controlled 
substances and selling those parts for the demonstrable sole purpose of 
repair.
    (b) Reliance on reasonable belief. The wholesaler, distributor or 
retailer of a product may rely on the labeling information that it 
receives with the product or container, and is not required to 
independently investigate whether the requirements of this subpart are 
applicable to the product or container, as long as the wholesaler, 
distributor or retailer reasonably believes that the supplier of the 
product or container is reliably and accurately complying with the 
requirements of this subpart.
    (c) Contractual obligations. A wholesaler, distributor or retailer's 
contractual relationship with its supplier under which the supplier is 
required to accurately label, consistent with the requirements of this 
subpart, any products manufactured with a controlled substance that are 
supplied to the wholesaler, distributor or retailer is evidence of 
reasonable belief.
