Contractors will be expected to conduct rigorous testing procedures to ensure vehicles adhere to these standards.

Each of these FMVSS regulations plays a crucial role in safeguarding passengers during various types of collisions and under different operational conditions.

This work not only contributes to regulatory compliance but also supports the DOT's mission of improving road safety through stringent vehicle performance evaluations.
