Text

When the director has reason to believe that an approved lighting device being sold commercially does not comply with the requirements of this division, he or she may, after giving 30 days’ previous notice to the person holding the certificate of approval for such device in this state, conduct a hearing upon the question of compliance of the approved device. After such hearing, the director shall determine whether the approved lighting device meets the requirements of this division. If the device does not meet the requirements of this division he or she shall give notice to the person holding the certificate of approval for such device in this state.
If at the expiration of 90 days after such notice the person holding the certificate of approval for such device has failed to satisfy the director that the approved device as thereafter to be sold meets the requirements of this division, the director shall suspend or revoke the approval issued therefor until or unless such device is resubmitted to and retested by an authorized testing agency and is found to meet the requirements of this division, and may require that all such devices sold since the notification following the hearing be replaced with devices that do comply with the requirements of this division. The director may at the time of the retest purchase in the open market and submit to the testing agency one or more sets of such approved devices, and if such device upon such retest fails to meet the requirements of this division, the director may refuse to renew the certificate of approval of such device.
