## Abstract

As the result of an inquiry from Earl's Performance Products, this document amends Standard No. 106, Brake Hoses, by revising the whip resistance test conditions. As amended, the test conditions permit the use of a supplemental support in attaching certain brake hose assemblies for the purpose of compliance testing. This rulemaking amends a provision that had the unintended consequence of prohibiting the manufacture and sale for use on the public roads of a type of brake hose assembly that may have safety advantages.
