TITLE: FMVSR INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of November 16, 1971, in which you ask whether a manufacturer may add certain statements to the Certification label required pursuant to Part 567 of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations. You state that the manufacturer in question is engaged in the manufacturer and mounting of concrete mixer assemblies. Because, as you state, the weight of the concrete may vary according to the mix formula, and because the volume of mix loaded into a mixer can also vary, the manufacturer wishes to add to his Certification label a declaration of the vehicle's cargo load and an indication of the maximum volume of mix that could be safely hauled within the rated cargo load limit.

There is no prohibition to this additional information being added to the Certification label as long as (1) it appears after the required information, and (2) it is stated in such a way that it cannot be confused with the information, particularly the GVWR and GAWR, required to be placed on the label.

We are pleased to be of assistance.
