SUMMARY OF MEETING ROHVA members gave a presentation (attached) to Chairman Tenenbaum and Commissioner Adler in which they demonstrated the progress they have made to date in developing the ANSIIROHVA voluntary standard A brief discussion followed where the Chairman and Commissioner Adler raised the three general concerns of CPSCs technical experts about the new ROHVA standard the rigor of ROHVAs lateral stability test the lack of an understeering requirement and inadequate occupant protection system requirements The Chairman and Commissioner Adler briefly asked questions of ROHVA members concerning the presentation and the new standard Chairman Tenenbaum concluded the meeting by recognizing that certain companies in attendance at the meeting manufactured ROVs that far exceeded the requirements of the ROHVA standard and encouraged these companies to continue working through the voluntary standards process to significantly strengthen the ROHVA standard to meet the level of safety that their products already provide and that CPSC staff believe should be attained
