Dear Mr. Hirsch: This is in response to your July 25, 1973, request for copies of th Federal regulations concerning door locks and latches.; Federal Standard 206, *Door Locks and Door Retention Components*, i enclosed. It regulates passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, and trucks. These categories include ambulances and 'motor homes', which are self-propelled units with sleeping accommodations, generally constructed on a light truck chassis. Most other 'mobile homes' are not self- propelled and they qualify as trailers, which are not subject to this standard.; For your information, paragraph 9.1.2 of *Ambulance Design Criteria has also been enclosed. This publication specifies the criteria which an ambulance must meet to qualify for Federal funding under the Highway Safety Program S 402.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
