9. AUTOMOBILE SAFETY STANDARDS
(FMVSS)
FMVSS:
• FMVSS stands for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
• The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are U.S. federal
vehicle regulations specifying design, construction, performance,
and durability requirements for motor vehicles and regulated
automobile safety-related components, systems, and design features.

10. 1.Controls and Displays (fmvss 101 ):
SCOPE:
• This standard specifies requirements for the location, identification, and
illumination of motor vehicle controls and displays.
• The standard requires that essential controls be located within reach of the
driver when the driver is restrained by a lap belt and upper torso restraint, and
that certain controls mounted on the instrument panel be identified.
APPLICATION:
• Passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses

12. 2.Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems
(fmvss 104 ):
SCOPE:
• This standard specifies requirements for the windshield wiping and washing
systems.

14. 3.Tire Selection and Rims (fmvss 110 ):
SCOPE:
• This standard specifies tire and rim selection requirements and rim marking
requirements.

ensuring that vehicles to which it applies are equipped with tires of adequate
size and load rating and with rims of appropriate size and type designation.
APPLICATION:
• The purpose of this standard is to provide safe 14 Quick Reference Guide to
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Regulations operational
performance by ensuring that vehicles to which it applies are equipped with
tires of adequate size and load rating and with rims of appropriate size and type
designation.

16. 4.Hydraulic and Electric Brake System (fmvss 105):

vehicles, wheels back vehicles, or temporary living quarters as defined in
49 CFR 529.2 are exempt.

21. AUTOMOBILE SAFETY STANDARDS
(CMVR)
CMVR:
• CMVR stands for central motor vehicles rule.
• 126 of the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR) issued by the
government of India, only authorized governmental agencies may
carry out relevant product testing and - upon positive results -
provide type approval certification. Legal representation is not
required.
