1 When deemed appropriate with regard to the risks presented by radio equipment, manufacturers and importers shall, to protect the health and safety of end-users, carry out sample testing of radio equipment made available on the market, investigate, and, if necessary, keep a register of complaints of non-conforming radio equipment and radio equipment recalls, and shall keep distributors informed of any such monitoring.
2 Manufacturers and importers that consider or have reason to believe that radio equipment which they have placed on the market is not in conformity with this Ordinance shall immediately take the corrective measures necessary to bring that radio equipment into conformity, to withdraw it or recall it, if appropriate.
3 Distributors that consider or have reason to believe that radio equipment which they have made available on the market is not in conformity with this Ordinance shall make sure that the corrective measures necessary to bring that radio equipment into conformity, to withdraw it or recall it, if appropriate, are taken.
4 Furthermore, where the radio equipment presents a risk, the manufacturers, authorised representatives, importers and distributors shall immediately inform OFCOM, giving details, in particular, of the non-compliance, of any corrective measures taken.21
5 Where the radio equipment presents a risk, the fulfilment service providers must also immediately notify OFCOM to that effect, giving details, in particular, of the non-compliance and of any corrective measures taken, unless the manufacturer or its authorised representative is based in Switzerland and the importer has imported the equipment for its own personal use.22
