What is CMVSS and what do MTC / ETV units require for rollover protection?

If a vehicle is being used for transportation of injured workers the vehicle and any attachments must meet rollover requirements.

What does CMVSS stand for?

Where can I get a certification?
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide certificates for each MTC/ETV. Call the manufacturer for a copy of the certificate.

Can I certify my own units to CMVSS rollover requirements?
No, this is a lengthy process done by the manufacturer. Once testing and requirements have been met, each unit of the same design by the same manufacturer are certified.

Are there special procedures to install MTCs?
