From the EAA website in an article titled 'Equipping a Homebuilt for IFR Operations'

As with transponders and other equipment discussed previously, GPS equipment must meet the performance requirements of the applicable TSO (in this case, C129), but there is no specific requirement for the equipment to be built under a TSO authorization. However, if the equipment is not built under a TSO authorization, it is up to the owner/operator to verify and document that the equipment performs within the required specifications. It is also the owner or operator's responsibility to document the necessary flight-test data showing that the installation performs within the required accuracy parameters.

Does anyone know of an instance of a builder actually doing that? (verify/document performance to TSO standards of a GPS)
