Dear Mr. Hildebrandt:#This is in response to your letter of Februar 14, 1975, requesting an interpretation of the labelling requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74, *Brake Hoses*. #You have asked whether Bendix may use the same manufacturer identification designation on brake hose, brake hose end fittings, and brake hose assemblies manufactures at three plants which are geographically separated. While S5.2 of Standard no. 106-74 requires designations identifying the manufacturer of these components, nothing in the standard prohibits a single manufacturer from applying the same designation to components manufactured at different plant locations. #Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel;
