Public comments sought on new federal ambulance specifications

National Truck Equipment Association

Ambulance Manufacturers Division (AMD), an Affiliate Division of the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA), is currently revising AMD Standards 001–015 and adding Standards 016–025 to accommodate proposed changes under draft revision F to the Federal Specification for the Star-of- Life Ambulance (KKK-A-1822). 

Manufacturers of ambulances, rescue and emergency vehicles, and related emergency apparatus and equipment compose the AMD. The organization, which became an NTEA affiliate in 1986, works to expand and improve its market segment; acquire, preserve and disseminate information on the role of emergency vehicles; improve relationships with other industry segments; promote new product innovations; and assist in the development of industry safety standards and programs.
