NATM’s compliance program, including the on-site consultation, is available to all NATM trailer manufacturing members on a voluntary basis. Once the manufacturer’s manufacturing process passes the 80-point checklist based on the Guidelines, the company is then NATM compliant and eligible to purchase NATM’s red, white and blue compliance decals for application to its compliant trailers. The decal states that the trailer was “Manufactured in Compliance with NATM Guidelines.”
