Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Labels
If purchased for service in the U.S., vehicles built without a body will have a certification label (Fig. 1.1) attached to the left door jamb on vehicles with primary left-hand drive, and to the right door jamb on vehicles with primary right-hand drive. In addition, after the vehicle is completed, a certification label must be attached by the final-stage manufacturer. This label will be located on the left door jamb on vehicles with primary left-hand drive, and on the right door jamb on vehicles with primary right-hand drive. The certification label certifies that the vehicle conforms to all applicable FMVSS regulations in effect on the date of completion.

Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) Label
If purchased for service in Canada, vehicles built without a body are certified by a "Statement of Compliance" label (similar to the U.S. certification label). Fig. 1.1. The "Statement of Compliance" label must be attached by the final-stage manufacturer after completion of the vehicle. This label is affixed to the left door jamb on vehicles with primary left-hand drive, and to the right door jamb on vehicles with primary right-hand drive.
