TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: Thank you for your letter of August 12, 1968, to Mr. Ed Laysath concerning lighting requirements on camper trailers.

The lamps and reflectors shown on your sketch appear to meet the requirements of Standard No. 108 with the exception that a license plate lamp is not indicated. Since no dimensions are specified on your sketch, we can only assume that the locations are as specified in the standard.

With respect to the requirements of Standard No. 103, I must point out that this Bureau does not issue approvals on items of lighting equipment or on vehicle designs incorporating this equipment. Therefore, 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.
