A technical construction file is still required by manufacturer B. But in this case it might consist of nothing more than a reference to Manufacturers A goods, there DOC and why manufactures B product is different. i.e. It has a different name on the front. Myself I would go a little further and check I was happy with the safety testing performed by Manufacturer A as well as ensuring all the safety critical components were as the manufacturer Claims.
The bottom line is that the company whose name is on the product, is the responsible party who may have to justify the safety of the goods in a court of law.
