Canada;
Dear Mr. Mitchell: This is in reply to your letter of December 22, 1972, which wa forwarded to us by the Department of Transport of Canada, requesting assignment of a manufacturer's code number for glazing materials you manufacture.; In your letter you indicate that the glazing in question is purchase in stock sheets, and then cut to the customer's requirements. The assignment of Code numbers is limited to what NHTSA has called 'prime glazing material manufacturers' and this group includes only those who 'fabricate, laminate, or temper the glazing material.' As your function appears to be only that of cutting the material to size, we would not consider you, at least with respect to this material, to be a prime glazing material manufacturer. Consequently, a code number assignment would be improper. The labeling requirements which you would be subject to, if this glazing as cut by you is to be imported into the United States, are those requirements specified in S6.4 and S6.5 of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205, copy enclosed.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
