2.2 Product safety
Both the vehicle manufacturer and the body manufac-
turer must always ensure that they introduce their
scopes into the market in a safe condition and that
third parties are not at risk of any safety hazard. If this
is not adhered to they may be subject to civil, criminal
and public law consequences. Every manufacturer is
liable for the products it manufactures.
From this, it follows that the vehicle body/conversion
manufacturer therefore also bears responsibility for
the following:
• the operating and road safety of the body
• the operating and road safety of parts and modifi-
cations
• testing and maintaining the operating and handling
safety of the vehicle after the body/equipment is
mounted (the body and/or equipment must not
have a negative effect on the driving, braking or
steering characteristics of the vehicle)
• influences of parts on or modifications to the
chassis
• consequential damage resulting from the body,
attachment, equipment or modification
• consequential damage resulting from retrofitted
electrical and electronic systems
• maintaining the operational reliability and freedom
of movement of all moving parts of the chassis
after the body/equipment is mounted (e.g. axles,
springs, propeller shafts, steering, transmission
linkage, etc.) even in the case of diagonal torsion
between the chassis and the bodies
