USA (NHTSA) - FMVSS 304, Compressed Natural Gas Fuel Container Integrity
Business description
On February 11, 2022, NHTSA released an updated version of FMVSS 304 Compressed natural gas fuel container integrity amending visual inspection labeling requirement to it by modifying the periodic inspection interval for compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel containers installed on vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds). The inspection interval for these vehicles is modified from the currently-specified interval, “at least every 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first,” to “at least every 12 months.” For commercial operators of CNG heavy vehicles that often travel 100,000 miles per year or more, this change will eliminate the need to.
Effective from March 14, 2022 on
