The following 2 sources both dictate that the manufacturer must sign a declaration stating “under penalty of perjury, I declare that I’ve examined this certification statement, and to the best of my knowledge and beliefs, the facts are true, correct, and complete.” However, I’ve seen tax forms from manufacturers that have no declaration statement &/or no signature either.

2) http://www.hpba.org/government-affairs/major-projects/2009-tax-credit (Under “How do I ensure I can collect on my tax credit?”)
A manufacturer's certification statement must contain the following information:
• The name and address of the manufacturer.
• Identification of the class of qualified energy property (Biomass-Burning Stove) in which the property is included.
• The make, model number and any other appropriate identifiers of the stove.
• A statement that the product is an eligible qualified energy property.
• A manufacturer's certification statement must contain a declaration, signed by a person currently authorized to bind the manufacturer in these matters, in the following form: "Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification statement, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, the facts are true, correct, and complete."
These documents don't need to be attached to your tax return, but you should keep them for your records.
