1、224 49 CFR Ch. V (10110 Edition) 568.6 the IVD that contains its name and mailing address and an indication of all changes that should be made in the IVD to reflect changes that it made to the vehicle. The addendum shall con-tain a certification by the inter-mediate manufacturer that the state-ments

2、 contained in the addendum are accurate as of the date of manufacture by the intermediate manufacturer and can be used and relied on by any subse-quent intermediate manufacturer(s) and the final-stage manufacturer as a basis for certification. 568.6 Requirements for final-stage manufacturers. Each f

3、inal-stage manufacturer shall complete the vehicle in such a manner that it conforms to the applicable standards in effect on the date selected by the final-stage manufacturer, in-cluding the date of manufacture of the incomplete vehicle, the date of final completion, or a date between those two dat

4、es. This requirement shall, however, be superseded by any con-flicting provisions of a standard that applies by its terms to vehicles manu-factured in two or more stages. 568.7 Requirements for manufactur-ers who assume legal responsibility for a vehicle. (a) If an incomplete vehicle manufac-turer a

5、ssumes legal responsibility for all duties and liabilities imposed on manufacturers by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. chapter 301) (here-after referred to as the Act), with re-spect to a vehicle as finally manufac-tured, the requirements of 568.4, 568.5 and

6、568.6 do not apply to that vehicle. In such a case, the incomplete vehicle manufacturer shall ensure that a label is affixed to the final vehicle in con-formity with 49 CFR 567.5(f). (b) If an intermediate manufacturer of a vehicle assumes legal responsi-bility for all duties and liabilities im-pose

7、d on manufacturers by the Vehicle Safety Act, with respect to the vehicle as finally manufactured, 568.5 and 568.6 do not apply to that vehicle. In such a case, the intermediate manufac-turer shall ensure that a label is af-fixed to the final vehicle in conformity with 49 CFR 567.5(g). The assumptio

8、n of responsibility by an intermediate man-ufacturer does not, however, change the requirements for incomplete vehi-cle manufacturers in 568.4.
