GERMANY;
Dear Mr. Konen: Your letter of February 1, 1973, concerning warning devices, has bee forwarded to my office for review and response.; The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does not issu authorization for testing institutes to approve our Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Each manufacturer must be responsible for assuring that his products meet the standard, and no submittals are to be made to this Administration. However, we are enclosing a list of foreign laboratories who are capable of determining whether warning devices meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 125.; The side length of the warning device should be interpreted as th direct length over the outside radii.; If any further information is necessary, please let us know. Sincerely, E.T. Driver, Director, Office of Operating Systems, Moto Vehicle Programs;
