TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Thank you for your letter of April 9, 1968, to the Federal Highway Administration, requesting certification information.

Enclosed are copies of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act 1966, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and a ruling, amendment, and correction relative to chassis-cabs.

Please note the certification requirements in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Note also in the chassis-cab amendment that the person combining the chassis-cab with a body or other like structure will be responsible for assuring that the complete assemblage complies with all applicable standards in effect on the date of the chassis-cab, compliance with which has not been previously certified by the manufacturer of the chassis-cab and for assuring that compliance with standards previously met by the chassis-cab have not been adversely affected by reason of the addition of the body or like structure.

Your label should reflect the foregoing requirements to be acceptable. Also, the location of the label is required by this office.

We trust this answers your questions.
