Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Metric Conversion

Özet

This document proposes to revise selected Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) by converting English measurements specified in those standards to metric measurements. This document begins the second phase of several rulemaking actions that NHTSA will undertake to implement the Federal policy that the metric system of measurement is the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce. The proposed conversions are not intended to make any changes in the stringency of the affected FMVSS.
