Ir seems to me that you have answered your own question. Whoever puts [a
something] on the market is responsible for its compliance, as marketed. 

It's entirely possible that item Z has been shown compliant in a different
system.  Its manufacturer might ten have no responsibility for making it
enough better to be compliant  everywhere. But he might well be persuaded
to do so anyhow, so he can sell more of them than if it were compliant in
only one system of equipment.

It is ALSO possible that manufacturer A's system is only compliant with
item Y.  I've seen that happen with peripherals a manufacturer depends on
to filter noise his equipment inserts on I/O cables. Who is the goat THEN,
eh?

Test what you sell; you are blamed if anything goes wrong, so it makes
sense. Some people don't think that way. But I do.
