Sec.  2.1075   Retention of records.

   (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;

   (ii) The name of the test laboratory, company, or individual 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 name and
   model number and, if appropriate, by FCC Identifier and serial 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;

   (x) The signature of the individual responsible for testing the product
   along with the name and signature of an official of the responsible party,
   as designated in  Sec. 2.909; and

   (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.
