TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: I am writing in response to the question you raised in a September 5, 1975, telephone conversation with Mark Schwimmer of this agency, concerning the labeling requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74, Brake Hoses.

You asked whether the designation "AI & II" is permitted on air brake hose for which the Type I and Type II dimensions listed in the standard are identical. In a letter to the Gates Rubber Company (copy enclosed), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration interpreted S7.2 of the standard as not permitting the designation "AI-II". For similar reasons, the designation "AI & II" does not comply with S7.2. The designation "AI & AII" would comply with the standard.
