- Introduction: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), of the United States Department of Transportation, is responsible for reducing the number of injuries and deaths on highways resulting from vehicle crashes. On January 1, 1981, the NHTSA issued Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 213, ?Child Restraint Systems.?

Specific Requirements: NHTSA intends to procure testing, inspection services, and reports so that the Government can determine whether child restraint systems comply with the requirements of FMVSS No. 213 (Dynamic Testing).
