ATTACHMT: LETTER DATED FEB. 14, 1990 FROM STEPHEN P. WOOD, NHTSA TO PATRICK J. HIGGINS, ANDREINI AND COMPANY; A35; STD 302

TEXT: I am writing you on behalf of my insured, Skill-Craft Enterprises.

Skill-Craft is in the process of the design and manufacture of a fiberglass seat that would be installed in the bed of a pickup truck. The seat would be molded and seat belts would be provided for in the design.

Mr. Wood, my question to you is - what standards should my client comply with in order to make this the safest possible product of this type? In my research of this problem I have found that Standards 207, 209, 210 and possibly 302 would apply. Could y ou please advise us on any other standards we should be in compliance with.
