             CHAPTER II--CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
 
PART 1205--SAFETY STANDARD FOR WALK-BEHIND POWER LAWN MOWERS--Table 
of Contents
 
                        Subpart B--Certification
 
Sec.  1205.36  Product certification and labeling by importers.

    (a) General. The importer of any rotary walk-behind power lawn mower 
subject to the standard must issue the certificate of compliance 
required by section 14(a) of the Act and Sec.  1205.35 of this 
regulation. If testing of each mower, or a reasonable testing program, 
meeting the requirements of this subpart B of part 1205 has been 
performed by or for the foreign manufacturer of the product, the 
importer may rely in good faith on such tests to support the certificate 
of compliance provided the importer is a resident of the United States 
or has a resident agent in the United States and the records of such 
tests required by Sec.  1205.34 of this part are maintained in the 
United States.
    (b) Responsibility of importer. If the importer relies on tests by 
the foreign manufacturer to support the certificate of compliance, the 
importer bears the responsibility for examining the records supplied by 
the manufacturer to determine that the records of such tests appear to 
comply with Sec.  1205.34 of this part.
