ATTACHMT: ATTACHED TO 2/27/95 LETTER FROM PHILIP R. RECHT TO MARK WARLICK (REDBOOK (2); PART 302)

TEXT: This letter concerns a question of what legal documentation is required for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302 compliance.

Four Winds International Corporation is a manufacturer of Class A and Class C motorhomes. I am in process of organizing our FMVSS letters of compliance from our vendors that supply our interior materials. I have included a sample of a letter that I hav e received from a vendor. Does this letter meet NHTSA requirements for certification of compliance for FMVSS No. 302 as far as proof of compliance by Four Winds?

If this letter does not contain sufficient information to prove compliance by Four Winds, can you send me a sample of what we need in our records per vendor to show compliance?

We have tested the panel from Northland Enterprise that was made with COR63-AX-40. We used the MVSS302 flame test, and obtained a flame rating of 0.64 inch per minute.

If you have any questions regarding this information or on any products in general, please contact us.

Sincerely,
