PART 1205_SAFETY STANDARD FOR WALK-BEHIND POWER LAWN MOWERS--Table 
of Contents
 
                         Subpart B_Certification
 
Sec.  1205.35  Product certification and labeling by manufacturers.

    (a) Form of permanent label of certification. Manufacturers 
(including importers) shall issue certificates of compliance for walk-
behind rotary power lawn mowers manufactured after the effective date of 
the mower standard in the form of a label which can reasonably be 
expected to remain on the mower during the period the mower is capable 
of being used. Such labeling shall be deemed to be a ``certificate'' of 
compliance as that term is used in section 14 of the act. (15 U.S.C. 
2063.)
    (b) Contents of certification label. The certification labels 
required by this section shall clearly and legibly contain the following 
information:
    (1) The statement ``Meets CPSC blade safety requirements.''
    (2) An identification of the production lot.
    (3) The name of the person or firm issuing the certificate.
    (4) The location where the product was principally assembled.
    (5) The month and year the product was manufactured.
    (c) Coding. Except for the requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) and 
(b)(3) of

[[Page 267]]

this section, all of the information required by Sec.  1205.35 may be in 
code, provided the person or firm issuing the certificate maintains a 
written record of the meaning of each symbol used in the code that will 
be made available to the distributor, retailer, consumer, and the 
Commission upon request. If a mower is manufactured for sale by a 
private labeler, and if the name of the private labeler is also on the 
certification label, the name of the manufacturer or importer issuing 
the certificate may also be in such a code.
    (d) Placement of label. The label required by this section must be 
visible and legible to the ultimate purchaser of the lawn mower. For 
mowers manufactured before January 1, 1984, where the label is not 
visible to the consumer at the time of sale because of packaging or 
marketing practices, an additional label or notice, which may be 
temporary, stating ``Meets CPSC blade safety requirements'' shall also 
appear on the container, or, if the container is not so visible, the 
promotional material, used in connection with the sale of the mowers.
