Comment : | This section states "The manufacturer or vendor shall be responsible for...providing test reports for review by the test lab, and to the purchaser." Comment: These test reports should also be available for review by any political party, prospective purchaser, public interest group, or citizens' group. Also, these reports really should be available through the EAC or other governmental entity, since recourse would be far more difficult against a vendor if the vendor were uncoooperative in providing test results. Also, how would someone confirm the accuracy of the test results provided by a vendor?
