Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are regulations set by the U.S. government to ensure the safety of vehicles on the road. These standards cover various aspects of vehicle design and performance, such as crash safety, braking systems, and lighting. Manufacturers must comply with these standards before their vehicles can be sold. The goal is to protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians by minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries, ensuring that all vehicles meet consistent safety requirements.
