To Jim -
As long as
1. Repair does not alter the construction and
performance of the product as documented.
2. Ownership does not change.
don't need.
To Richard -
I agree that *retention of ownership* is key here.
But, I would ask for a discussion following the
shift in ownership with the following.
Case 1, I agree.
Case 2, would be between the original owner
(not distributer) and the second owner.
The sale of the equipment occured not by
you, but between the second owner and the
first owner after Jan. 1, 1997. You are
now acting as a repair shop. The first
owner selling anything after after Jan.1, 1997
is responsible for properly representing the
compliance of the product.
Case 3, would be between the original owner
(now being the distributer) and the second owner.
The rest would follow as in Case 2.
To Tania -
See Case 3 above.
This discussion is raising some excellent points.
