# §1110.504. Acceptance of accredited conformity assessment bodies.

- (a) NTIS will accept written attestations and assessment reports from an Accredited Conformity Assessment Body that attests, to the satisfaction of NTIS, as provided in [§ 1110.503](/cfr/15/1110.503.md).
- (b) NTIS may decline to accept written attestations or assessment reports from an Accredited Conformity Assessment Body, whether or not it has attested as provided in [§ 1110.503](/cfr/15/1110.503.md), for any of the following reasons:
  - (1) When it is in the public interest under Section 203 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, and notwithstanding any other provision of this part;
  - (2) Submission of false or misleading information concerning a material fact(s) in an Accredited Conformity Assessment Body's attestation under [§ 1110.503](/cfr/15/1110.503.md);
  - (3) Knowing submission of false or misleading information concerning a material fact(s) in an attestation or assessment report by an Accredited Conformity Assessment Body of a Person or Certified Person;
  - (4) Failure of an Accredited Conformity Assessment Body to cooperate in response to a request from NTIS to verify the accuracy, veracity, and/or completeness of information received in connection with an attestation under [§ 1110.503](/cfr/15/1110.503.md) or an attestation or assessment report by that Body of a Person or Certified Person. An Accredited Conformity Assessment Body “fails to cooperate” when it does not respond to NTIS inquiries or requests, or it responds in a manner that is unresponsive, evasive, deceptive, or substantially incomplete; or
  - (5) Where NTIS is unable for any reason to verify the accuracy of the Accredited Conformity Assessment Body's attestation.
