Dear Mr. Koziatek: This responds to your letter of September 4, 1980, concerning Standar NO. 213, *Child Restraint Systems*. You asked whether instruction booklets provided with child restraints must meet the flammability requirement of Standard No. 302, *Flammability of Interior Materials*. The answer is no. They do not have to comply with Standard No. 302.; Section 5.7 of Standard No. 213 requires each material used in a chil restraint to conform to performance requirements of Standard No. 302. You asked whether the installation instructions, which are required by section 5.6 to accompany the child restraint, must comply with the flammability requirements of section 5.7. Since the installation instructions, unlike an affixed label, are not a physical part of the child restraint system, they do not have to comply with section 5.7.; If you have any further questions, please let me know. Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Chief Counsel
