Abstract
FMVSS No. 403, Platform lift systems
for motor vehicles, establishes
minimum performance standards for
platform lifts designed for installation
on motor vehicles. Its purpose is to
prevent injuries and fatalities to
passengers and bystanders during the
operation of platform lifts that assist
wheelchair users and other persons with
limited mobility in entering and leaving
a vehicle. FMVSS No. 404, Platform lift
installations in motor vehicles, places
specific requirements on vehicle
manufacturers or alterers who install
platform lifts in new vehicles. Under
these regulations, lift manufacturers
must certify that their lifts meet the
requirements of FMVSS No. 403 and
must declare the certification on the
owner’s manual insert, the installation
instructions and the lift operating

instruction label. Certification of
compliance with FMVSS No. 404 is on
the certification label already required
of vehicle manufacturers and alterers
under 49 CFR part 567. Therefore, lift
manufacturers must produce an insert
that is placed in the vehicle owner’s
manual, installation instructions and
one or two labels that are placed near
the controls of the lift. The requirements
and our estimates of burden and cost to
the lift manufacturers are given below.
There is no burden to the general
public.
Respondents: Platform lift
manufacturers and vehicle
manufacturers/alterers that install
platform lifts in new motor vehicles
before first vehicle sale.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Estimated burden to lift
manufacturers to produce an insert for
the vehicle owner’s manual stating the
lift’s platform operating volume,
maintenance schedule, and instructions
regarding the lift operating procedures:
—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized
over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year.
Estimated burden to lift
manufacturers to produce lift
installation instructions identifying the
vehicles on which the lift is designed to
be installed:
—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized
over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year.
Estimated burden to lift
manufacturers to produce two labels for
operating and backup lift operation:
—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized
over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year.
Estimated burden to lift
manufacturers to produce two labels for
operating and backup lift operation:
—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized
over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year.
Estimated cost to lift manufacturers to
produce:
—Label for operating instructions—
27,398 lifts × $0.13 per label =
$3,561.74.
—Label for backup operations—27,398
lifts × $0.13 per label = $3,561.74.
—Owner’s manual insert—27,398 lifts ×
$0.04 per page × 1 page = $1,095.92.
—Installation instructions—27,398 lifts
× $0.04 per page × 1 page = $1,095.92.
Note: Although lift installation instructions
are considerably more than one page, lift
manufacturers already provide lift
installation instructions in the normal course
of business and one additional page should
be adequate to allow the inclusion of FMVSS
specific information.
Total estimated annual cost =
$9,315.32.
