                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

RETESTING OF DEVICES AND REVOCATION OF APPROVAL CERTIFICATES (§ 46.2-1007)

The Superintendent, when having reason to believe that an approved device or
equipment for which a certificate of approval has been issued and which is being
sold commercially does not, under ordinary conditions of use, comply with the
requirements of this chapter, may, after notice to the manufacturer thereof,
suspend or revoke the certificate of approval issued therefor, until or unless
the device is resubmitted to and retested by an authorized testing agency and is
found to meet the requirements of this chapter. If the certificate of approval
for such device or equipment has been waived by the Superintendent as provided
in § 46.2-1005, the notice to the manufacturer as provided in this section
shall have the effect of making further sales of such device or equipment
unlawful in the Commonwealth until such device or equipment has been submitted
to the Superintendent and a certificate of approval has been issued in
accordance with the procedure established pursuant to § 46.2-1005. The
Superintendent may, at the time of retest, purchase in the open market and
submit to the testing agency one or more sets of the approved device, and if the
device fails to meet the requirements of this title, the Superintendent may
permanently revoke the certificate of approval of the device. In the discretion
of the Superintendent, an approval for the sale and use of any such device may
be amended to permit the continued use of such devices already sold but to
prohibit further sales of the device.
