TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of February 7 to Lawrence R. Schneider requesting an interpretation of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 116.

No standard code numbering system has been established, and composition of the code is at the discretion of the manufacturers and packagers of brake fluid. Note that the use of a code is optional and not a requirement of paragraph S5.2.2.2(b).

No standard format has been adopted for the serial number identifying the package lot and date of packaging, and this information may be incorporated into one code, explainable to this agency upon our request.
