Dear Mr. Hancks: This responds to your April 13, 1976, request for written confirmatio that the requirements of paragraph S5.2.2.2 of Standard No. 116, *Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids*, do not preclude the use of brake fluid dispensing devices which are used without attachment to the brake fluid container.; Paragraph S5.2.2.2 of Standard no. 116 specifies the information tha packagers of brake fluids are required to place on the outside of the brake fluid container. Subsection (g) of this paragraph specifies four warnings that must be marked on the container. There labeling requirements apply only to the brake fluid container. The requirements do not apply to use of the brake fluid, and therefore do not create duties on the part of the user to abide by the warnings. The purpose of these requirements is only to ensure that purchasers are warned of potential safety hazards that can result from improper use and storage of the product.; Sincerely, Stephen P. Wood, Assistant Chief Counsel
