    (a) MSHA will test only equipment that in the opinion of its 

qualified representatives is constructed of suitable materials, is of 

good quality workmanship, based on sound engineering principles, and is 

safe for its intended use. Since all possible designs, arrangements, or 

combinations of components and materials cannot be foreseen, MSHA 

reserves the right to modify the construction and design requirements of 

subassemblies or components and tests thereof to obtain the same degree 

of protection as provided by the tests described in Subpart C of this 

part.

    (b) The quality of material, workmanship, and design shall conform 

to the requirements of Sec.  7.98(q) of this chapter.

    (c) Power packages approved under part 7, subpart F of this chapter 

are considered to be acceptable for use in equipment submitted for 

approval under this part. Sections 36.21 through 36.26 (except Sec.  

36.25(f)) and Sec. Sec.  36.43 through 36.48 are not applicable to 

equipment utilizing part 7, subpart F power packages, since these 

requirements have already been satisfied.
