Certification Label
Label Example
A vehicle-specific Certification
label, found on the vehicle center
pillar (B-pillar), may show the
gross weight capacity of the
vehicle, called the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). The
GVWR includes the weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, fuel, and
cargo. Never exceed the GVWR for
the vehicle, or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) for either
the front or rear axle.
If the vehicle is a professional
vehicle, the vehicle-specific
certification label is provided by
the final stage manufacturer. The
coach-builder should be consulted
if the final stage manufacturer's
label is not present. The Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
label should be on the center
pillar (B-pillar).

area of the vehicle. In the
