Dear Mr. Kreutziger: This is in response to your letter of July 30, 1975, to Mr. Schwartz o this office, seeking an interpretation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205.; FMVSS No. 205 requires that the prime glazing manufacturer certify eac piece of glazing covered by the standard by marking it with the letters DOT, the manufacturers code mark assigned by the Department of Transportation and the markings required by section 6 of A.N.S.Z-26. The latter markings are the 'AS' number, the model number and the manufacturer's distinctive designation or trademark. The distributor who cuts a section of glazing material to which the standard applies is required to mark the material in accordance with section 6 of A.N.S.Z-26. Thus, each of the rectangular lites should be marked with the manufacturer's model number and trademark in addition to the AS number, but not with the letters DOT or the prime glazing manufacturer's DOT number.; Section 114 of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act o 1966 requires that you, as the vehicle manufacturer, certify that your product conforms to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards. This would, of course, include FMVSS No. 205.; I hope I have fully answered your questions. If you have any furthe need for information please do not hesitate to write.; Sincerely, Frank A. Berndt, Acting Chief Counsel
