15.5 still applies, which I think translates to "thou shalt not sell a rubbish

The kind of manufacturer we have to worry about doesn't think that way until
they get hit with a judge's injunction,
or a hefty enough fine.
I might have saved one of my employers quite a bit of money and bad exposure
when I dug
in my heels and convinced them that, even though an exempt apparatus wasn't on
customer
premises, it still had to meet FCC Class B when it left the telephone Central
Office.
Unfortunately, they still insisted on compliance the "easy" way, with filters
and
enclosures, when the harder way -- board redesign -- would actually have been
cheaper
in the long run.
For what it's worth department: They did eventually change roads, but by then
it had
cost a good deal to ship equipment with money pinned to it, and I suspect
technology
change was the greater part of their surrender to reality.
