TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This responds to your August 8, 1974, question whether the effective date of Standard No. 106-74, Brake hoses, is September 1, 1974, for hose (and fittings) and March 1, 1975, for nose assemblies.

Your interpretation is correct. The standard requires conforming hose (and fittings) as of September 1, 1974. It requires conforming assemblies (including the label band) only on March 1, 1975, and thereafter.
