(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;

(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
