Very interesting. In the consumer electronics products like MP3 players ( No serial # marked) , Manufacturers always make changes in the products keeping the same model # for cost reduction purposes. Lot of times these changes are not verified for compliance even it is declared compliant. In the absence of such ID as serial # It will be never known from the report what unit was tested and So in the market is the compliant unit sold or changed version ( non compliant)
