The latest Sanctioned interpretations to the rules say
“Customer-specified production parts” shall be understood as parts that are an integral part of a
vehicle. The only customer-specified parts that do not meet this requirement but are to be included
are the following: fire extinguisher, car jacks, and floor mats, owner’s manuals, and warning triangles
and reflective vest."
Rationale for change:
Same as the warning triangles, most national regulation / standards require reflective vest for the vehicle.
As I understand it a label is an integral part of a vehicle.
Customer rules always trump standards.
