England;
Dear Ms. Hood: This is in response to your September 8, 1976, letter requestin information concerning the Federal regulations that would be applicable to safety glazing for use in 'slow moving' vehicles. Please excuse our delay in answering your questions. Apparently, your earlier letter of February 5, 1976, was misplaced.; Standard No. 205, *Glazing Materials*, specifies requirements fo glazing materials for use in most motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment. A glazing manufacturer must certify any glazing that is to be used in a motor vehicle (other than a trailer) as being in compliance with Standard No. 205. 'Motor vehicle' is defined in S 102(3) of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966. I am enclosing a copy of the agency's opinion of what vehicles qualify as 'motor vehicles' under the definition. Glazing material that is to be used in a vehicle that does not qualify as a 'motor vehicle' does not have to meet the performance requirements of Standard No. 205.; Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Acting Chief Counsel
