Dear Mr. Kato:#This responds to your July 3, 1974, question whether th Standard No. 106-74, *Brake hoses*, labeling requirements for brake hose fittings (S5.2.3) permit labeling in addition to that required in the section.#Optional labeling is not prohibited by the standard as long as the additional marking does not confuse the required marking. We have already interpreted S5.2.2 to permit optional labeling on the opposite side of the hose from the required labeling. The required labeling must appear without additions to make it clearly legible.#Your illustration appears satisfactory as long as the '1/8' and the 'lot number are sufficiently separate for clarity. #Yours truly,Richard B. Dyson,Acting Chief Counsel;
