Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards Applicable to School Buses
Note: FMVSS 220, 221, 222, and 302 are applicable only to school buses:
FMVSS No. 101 - Controls and Displays: Specifies requirements for the location, identification, and illumination of motor vehicle controls and displays.
FMVSS No. 102 - Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect: Specifies the requirements for the transmission shift lever sequence, a starter interlock, and for a braking effect of automatic transmissions.
FMVSS No. 103 - Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems: Specifies requirements for windshield defrosting and defogging systems.
FMVSS No. 104 - Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems: Specifies requirements for windshield wiping and washing systems.
FMVSS No. 105 - Hydraulic Brake Systems: Specifies requirements for hydraulic service brake and associated parking brake systems. Increased the requirements for hydraulic brakes.
FMVSS No. 106 - Brake Hoses: Specifies labeling and performance requirements for motor vehicle brake hose, brake hose assemblies, and brake hose end fittings.
FMVSS No. 108 - Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment: Specifies requirements for original and replacement lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.
FMVSS No. 111 - Rearview Mirrors: Specifies requirements for the performance and location of interior and exterior rearview mirrors. Establishes requirements for “crossview” mirror to see in front of and alongside the bus, and that the driver clearly see specific areas to the ground along the sides and around the front of the school bus.
FMVSS No. 113 - Hood Latch System: Specifies the requirement for providing a hood latch system or hood latch systems.
FMVSS No. 116 - Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids: Specifies requirements for fluids for use in hydraulic brake systems of motor vehicles, containers for these fluids, and labeling of the containers.
FMVSS No. 119 - New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars: Specifies performance and marking requirements for tires for use on multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, trailers, and motorcycles.
FMVSS No. 120 - Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars: Specifies tire and rim selection requirements and rim marking requirements for use on multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, trailers, and motorcycles.
FMVSS No. 121 - Air Brake Systems: Specifies performance and equipment requirements for braking systems on vehicles equipped with air brake systems.
FMVSS No. 124 - Accelerator Control Systems: Specifies requirements for the return of a vehicle’s throttle to the idle position when the driver removes the actuating force from the accelerator control system, or in the event of a severance or disconnection in the accelerator control system.
FMVSS No. 131 - School Bus Pedestrian Safety Devices: Specifies requirements for devices that can be installed on school buses to improve the safety of pedestrians in the vicinity of stopped school buses. Applicable to all school buses. Amended May 28, 1998 and now permits light emitting diodes or LED lighting on stop signal arm.
FMVSS No. 201 - Occupant Protection in Interior Impact: Specifies requirements to afford impact protection for occupants.
FMVSS No. 202 - Head Restraints: Specifies requirements for head restraints.
FMVSS No. 203 - Impact Protection for the Driver from the Steering Control System: Specifies requirements for steering control systems.
FMVSS No. 204 - Steering Control Rearward Displacement: Specifies the requirements limiting the rearward displacement of the steering control into the passenger compartment.
FMVSS No. 205 - Glazing Materials: Specifies requirements for glazing materials for use in motor vehicles and items of motor vehicle equipment.
FMVSS No. 207 - Seating Systems: Specifies requirements for seats, their attachment assemblies, and their installation.
FMVSS No. 208 - Occupant Crash Protection: Specifies performance requirements for the protection of vehicle occupants in crashes. FMVSS No. 209 - Seat Belt Assemblies: Specifies requirements for seat belt assemblies.
FMVSS No. 210 - Seat Belt Anchorages: Specifies requirements for seat belt assembly anchorages.
FMVSS No. 212 - Windshield Mounting: Specifies windshield retention requirements for motor vehicles during crashes.
FMVSS No. 214 - Side Door Strength: Specifies performance requirements for protection of occupants in side impact crashes.
FMVSS No. 217 - Bus Emergency Exits and Window Retention and Release: Specifies requirements for the retention of windows other than windshields in buses, and establishes operating forces, opening dimensions, and markings for push-out bus windows and other emergency exits.
FMVSS No. 219 - Windshield Zone Intrusion: Specifies limits for the displacement into the windshield area of motor vehicle components during a crash.
FMVSS No. 220 - School Bus Rollover Protection: Specifies performance requirements for school bus rollover protection. This standard increases the structural resistance of school buses in rollover-type accidents. This standard only applies to school buses and covers all styles of school bus.
FMVSS No. 221 - School Bus Body Joint Strength: Specifies requirements for the strength of the body panel joints in school bus bodies. This standard improves the body strength of school buses through increased strength of the joints between panels that comprise the bus body. Applicable to all school buses with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) in excess of 10,000 pounds.
FMVSS No. 222 - School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection: Specifies occupant protection requirements for school bus passenger seating and restraining barriers. This standard provides increased protection to passengers through a series of interior changes known as “compartmentalization” — meaning high-backed, well-padded, and well-constructed seats. This standard only applies to school buses and covers all styles of school bus.
FMVSS No. 301 - Fuel System Integrity: Specifies requirements for the integrity of motor vehicle fuel systems. Establishes fuel system integrity requirements for school buses over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
FMVSS No. 302 - Flammability of Interior Materials: Specifies burn resistance requirements for material used in the occupant compartments of motor vehicles.
FMVSS No. 303 - Fuel System Integrity of Compressed Natural Gas Vehicles: Specifies requirements for the integrity of motor vehicle fuel systems using compressed natural gas (CNG),including the CNG fuel systems of bi-fuel, dedicated, and dual fuel CNG vehicles.
FMVSS No. 304 - Compressed Natural Gas Fuel Container Integrity: Specifies requirements for the integrity of compressed natural gas fuel containers used in all motor vehicles.
