TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Thank you for your letter of May 2, 1968, which included additional information for certification under Public Law 89-563 and your coments.

You will note that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 does not restrict the height of the identification lamps from the roadway. You may find it suitable to mount these lights at a lower level than indicated in your illustrations.

With respect to the requirements of Standard No. 103, I must point out that this Bureau does not issue approvals on items of lighting equipment or on vehicle designs incorporating this equipment. Therefore, the above comments are for your information only and in no way relieve the vehicle manufacture from his responsibility for certifying that the assembled vehicle meets the requirements of the standard.

I am enclosing a copy of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 which defines the vehicles to which it applies.
