FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards)

The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are regulations established by the U.S. government to ensure vehicles meet specific safety requirements. They cover aspects like crashworthiness, occupant protection, braking, lighting, and more. Manufacturers must design and produce vehicles that comply with these standards before they can be sold in the U.S. market. FMVSS aim to reduce accidents and injuries, ensuring that vehicles provide a consistent level of safety for drivers and passengers worldwide. Compliance is typically verified through testing and detailed documentation, promoting accountability and continuous improvement in vehicle safety.
