made in the product(s) or to the critical documents, unless notice of the proposed change has been provided and

product(s) or to the critical documents as examined and reported and the replacement parts, refills or recharges, if
required, shall be as authorized by FM Approvals. OEM and Private Labeler/Trade Agent agree to make full and
immediate written disclosure to FM Approvals of all information concerning any defect in or potential hazard of the
product or service herein. Failure of the foregoing may result in suspension or withdrawal of FM Approval or
Listing.

purposes or in any way whatsoever that could imply FM Approval or Listing of the Private Labeler/Trade Agent or
of a product or products not specified in this Agreement. The Private Labeler/Trade Agent shall comply with FM
Approval’s Certification Marks Usage Guidelines, located at www.fmapprovals.com, and any other policies that are
