Is there a parts availability law in Canada??


Parts Availability Laws

Can your item be repaired? If parts are required, are they available
to a servicer? In some states, the answer may be "no."

Does your state have a law governing the availability of parts?
Here are the states with such laws:

California:
7 years after date of manufacture for goods with a wholesale value of
$100 or more, 3 years for items valued at $50 to $99.99. This law
covers functional parts only.

Connecticut:
4 years after the date of final sale.

Indiana:
7 years after the date of final sale.

Rhode Island:
4 years after final sale.




Tektronix does not follow any of the above states law on parts
availability,if those are truly law.


Yeah - I think "parts availability laws" are mostly urban legend. Especially
in recent years with everything being made in China or whatever. Often there
aren't even any arrangements made for parts or service when something is
imported. They can just replace it if under warranty, otherwise you're on
your own. That's my experience, anyway.
