Dear Mr. Wessel: This is in response to your December 1, 1982, letter regarding warning device you plan to manufacture. The device is powered by 4 AA batteries, and has a light which can stay on continuously or can flash. You have asked whether the device complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 125.; Standard 125 applies to warning devices 'without self- contained energ sources.' The four batteries in your device which power the light would constitute such a source. Therefore, Standard 125 is inapplicable to your device.; If you have further questions on this matter, feel free to contact us. Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Chief Counsel
