TEXT:

We are updating our files on auxiliary seating such as temporary or folding jump seats. This will pertain to walk-in van type vehicles under and over 10,000 GVW.

Will jump seats be required to meet FMVSS 207, 208 and 210? Also, will they need Type II seat belts in the passenger outboard seating position and in side facing seats?

Your help with these questions will be appreciated.
