Dear Mr. Preisler: This responds to your letter of January 17, 1985, concerning Standar No. 205, *Glazing Materials*. Your company manufactures an aftermarket replacement motorcycle windscreen, which incorporates auxiliary wind deflectors. Standard No. 205 specifies that the upper portion of the windshield can be made out of item 1, 6, 10, or 11 glazing materials. The glazing used in the auxiliary wind deflectors can be made out of item 1, 2, 4, 10, or 11A glazing materials. You said that the glazing material used in the windscreen and deflector meets the requirements for both item 4 and 6 glazing materials. You asked whether you can mark both those components as item 4/6 glazing materials. The answer is that you can mark them as item 4/6 materials.; Section S6 of the standard sets out the certification and markin requirements for each item of glazing material. It provides that each piece of glazing material shall be marked, in accordance with section 6 of American National Standard Safety Code for Safety Glazing Materials for Glazing Motor Vehicles Operating on Land Highways' Z-26.1 - 1977, January 26, 1977, as supplemented by Z26.1a, July 3, 1980, with a number signifying that it meets the performance requirement set for that particular glazing item number. In your case, the glazing material meets all of the requirements set for two separate item numbers. Since your product conforms to the requirements for both items 4 and 6 the agency has no objection to marking the components with both item numbers.; Sincerely, Jeffrey R. Miller, Chief Counsel
