Sec.  211.212-8  Relabeling requirements.



    (a) Any manufacturer who is found to not conform with Sec.  211.212-

6, and who has met the requirement of Sec.  211.212-7, must relabel all 

protectors of the specified category already in his possession according 

to Sec.  211.211 before distributing them in commerce. The manufacturer 

shall relabel at values no greater than any mean attenuation values 

received from Compliance Audit Testing. Any manufacturer who proceeds 

with Sec.  211.212-7(a) or (b) must relabel his product line with the 

lowest mean attenuation value at each octave band received from testing; 

or he may take into account product variability under Sec.  211.211(b) 

and label with a lower mean attenuation value than the worst case values 

obtained from Compliance Audit Testing.

    (b) [Reserved]
