TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Thank you for your letter of October 8, 1968, to Mr. Eugene Laskin, Acting Director, Office of Standards Preparation, concerning reflex reflectors.

The use of two Class B reflectors combined with the fail lamps on the rear of your vehicles will not impair the effectiveness of the two Class A red reflex reflectors required in Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108. These devices are therefore in accordance with Standard No. 108, including paragraph S3.1.2.

Since this Bureau does not issue approval on items of lighting equipment or on vehicle designs incorporating this equipment, the above comments are for your information only, and in no way relieve the vehicle manufacturer from his responsibility for certifying that the assembled vehicle meets the requirements of Standard No. 108.
