Safety Compliance Certification Labels
SAFETY COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION LABELSThe English Safety Compliance Certification Label is attached to the latch edge on the driver's side door. The French Safety Compliance Certification Label is attached to the latch edge on the passenger's side door. The label contains the name of the manufacturer, the month and year of manufacture, the certification statement, and the Vehicle Identification Number. The label also contains gross vehicle weight ratings, wheel and tire data, and information codes for additional vehicle data.
The vehicle data appears on the Safety Compliance Certification Label on the second and third lines following the identification number. The code set (two numbers, or two letters, or a number and a letter) above Color identifies the exterior paint color. The letters and/or number under Body designate the interior trim, seat and the body type. The letters and/or numbers under Tape designate the external body side tape stripe code.
The digits under WB designate the wheelbase in centimeters. The letter and three digits under Type-GVW designate the truck model within a series and the gross vehicle weight rating.
The transmission installed in the vehicle is identified under Trans by an alphabetical code. A letter and a number or two numbers under Axle identifies the rear axle ratio. The spring usage codes for the vehicle are identified under Spring.
A two-digit number is stamped above DSO to identify the district which ordered the vehicle.
