supplier shall furnish a certificate of compliance to the purchaser
of a package or packaging component, even when the purchaser is also
a supplier, stating that the package or packaging component is in
compliance with the requirements of this article. However, if,
pursuant to Section 25214.14, the package is exempt from the
requirements of Section 25214.13, the certificate of compliance shall
state the specific basis upon which the exemption is claimed. The
certificate of compliance shall be signed by an authorized official

compliance shall be kept on file by the manufacturer or supplier of
the package or packaging component.
(b) A purchaser of a package or packaging component subject to
subdivision (a) shall retain the certificate of compliance for as
long as the package or packaging component is in use by the
purchaser.
(c) The manufacturer or supplier shall furnish to the department a
copy of the certificate of compliance for each package or packaging
component for which an exemption is claimed under Section 25214.14 at
the time when a certificate of compliance for that package or
packaging component is first furnished to a purchaser. If no
exemption is claimed for a package or packaging component, the
manufacturer or supplier shall provide to the department upon request
a copy of the certificate of compliance for that package or
packaging component.
(d) If a manufacturer or supplier of a package or packaging
component subject to subdivision (a) reformulates or creates a new
package or packaging component, the manufacturer or supplier shall
provide the purchaser, and, if the package or packaging component is
exempt, the department, with an amended or new certificate of
compliance for the reformulated or new package or packaging
component.
