TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in response to your letter of June 23, 1976, in which you ask whether Standard No. 302, Flammability of Interior Materials, applies to portable toilets.

Standard 302 applies to the motor vehicles listed in Section S3, including the equipment installed in them at the time of sale. Section S4 lists those parts of a motor vehicle that must comply with burn resistance requirements, and a portable toilet is not included. Therefore, it is not subject to the standard. I have enclosed a copy of the standard for your information.

SINCERELY,

Thank you.

SINCERELY,
