Dear Mr. Schubert:#This responds to your April 29, 1974, request fo approval of your banding designs to meet the requirements of Standard No. 106, *Brake hoses*,for labeling brake hose assemblies.#The NHTSA interprets a band a label which encircles the hose completely and attaches to itself. To constitute labeling at all, of course, the band must be affixed to the hose in such a manner that it cannot easily be removed. From these statements, you should be able to determine the compliance of your labeling method with the standard. The NHTSA does not approve specific designs in advance because the material, installation method, and underlying material can significantly affect the quality of any design.#Yours truly,Richard B. Dyson,Assistant Chief Counsel;
