    (a) Except as shown in paragraph (b) of this section, for each 
product subject to a Declaration of Conformity, the responsible party, 
as shown in Sec. 2.909, shall maintain the following records:
    (1) A record of the original design drawings and specifications and 
all changes that have been made that may affect compliance with the 
requirements of Sec. 2.1073.
    (2) A record of the procedures used for production inspection and 
testing (if tests were performed) to insure the conformance required by 
Sec. 2.1073. (Statistical production line emission testing is not 
required.)
    (3) A record of the measurements made on an appropriate test site 
that demonstrates compliance with the applicable regulations. The record 
shall contain:
    (i) The actual date or dates testing was performed;

performing the testing. The Commission may request additional 
information regarding the test site, the test equipment or the 
qualifications of the company or individual performing the tests;
    (iii) A description of how the device was actually tested, 
identifying the measurement procedure and test equipment that was used;
    (iv) A description of the equipment under test (EUT) and support 
equipment connected to, or installed within, the EUT;
    (v) The identification of the EUT and support equipment by trade

number;
    (vi) The types and lengths of connecting cables used and how they 
were arranged or moved during testing;
    (vii) At least two photographs showing the test set-up for the 
highest line conducted emission and showing the test set-up for the 
highest radiated emission. These photographs must be focused originals 
which show enough detail to confirm other information contained in the 
test report;
    (viii) A description of any modifications made to the EUT by the 
testing company or individual to achieve compliance with the 
regulations;
    (ix) All of the data required to show compliance with the 
appropriate regulations;

    (xi) A copy of the compliance information, as described in 
Sec. 2.1077, required to be provided with the equipment.
    (b) If the equipment is assembled using modular components that, by 
themselves, are subject to authorization under a Declaration of 
Conformity and/or a grant of certification, and the assembled product is 
also subject to authorization under a Declaration of Conformity but, in 
accordance with the applicable regulations, does not require additional 
testing, the assembler shall maintain the following records in order to 
show the basis on which compliance with the standards was determined:
    (1) A listing of all of the components used in the assembly;
    (2) Copies of the compliance information, as described in 
Sec. 2.1077 for all of the modular components used in the assembly;
    (3) A listing of the FCC Identifier numbers for all of the 
components used in the assembly that are authorized under a grant of 
certification;
    (4) A listing of equipment modifications, if any, that were made 
during assembly; and

    (5) A copy of any instructions included with the components that 
were required to be followed to ensure the assembly of a compliant 
product, along with a statement, signed by the assembler, that these 
instructions were followed during assembly. This statement shall also 
contain the name and signature of an official of the responsible party, 
as designated in Sec. 2.909.
    (c) The records listed in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section 
shall be retained for two years after the manufacture or assembly, as 
appropriate, of said equipment has been permanently discontinued, or 
until the conclusion of an investigation or a proceeding if the 
responsible party is officially notified that an investigation or any 
other administrative proceeding involving the equipment has been 
instituted. Requests for the records described in this section and for 
sample units also are covered under the provisions of Sec. 2.946.
