15、ght rating (GAWR) for each axle of the completed vehicle for which the incomplete vehicle is in-tended, listed and identified in order from front to rear (e.g., front, first in-termediate, second intermediate, rear). The ratings for any consecutive axles having identical gross axle weight rat-ings w

Examples of combined ratings: (a) All axles 2,400 kg (5,290 lb) with LT245/75R16(E) tires;

20、ield wiper com-ponents. (ii) Type 2A statement of specific conditions of final manufacture under which the manufacturer specifies that the completed vehicle will conform to the standard. Example: 121This vehicle when completed will conform to FMVSS No. 121, Air Brake Systems, if it does not exceed a
21、ny of the gross axle weight ratings, if the center of gravity at GVWR is not higher than nine feet above the ground, and if no alterations are made in any brake system component. (iii) Type 3A statement that con-formity with the standard cannot be determined based upon the components supplied on the
22、 incomplete vehicle, and that the incomplete vehicle manufac-turer makes no representation as to conformity with the standard. (8) Each document shall contain a table of contents or chart summarizing all the standards applicable to the ve-hicle pursuant to 49 CFR 568.4(a)(7). (9) A certification tha

Each final-stage manufacturer shall complete the vehicle in such a
31、 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 dates. This requirement shall, however, be superseded by any co
32、n-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.

33、mposed 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 568.6 do not apply to that vehicle. In such a case, the inco
34、mplete 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-posed on manufacturers by the Vehicle Safety Act, with respect t
35、o 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 assumption of responsibility by an intermediate man-ufacturer does no
