1. Test conditions for aerodynamic devices and equipment   
1.1. At the request of the manufacturer the test shall be conducted on one of the  
EN 13  EN following : 
1.1.1.  on a vehicle of the type for which an aerodynamic device and equipment is 
intended;  
1.1.2.  on a part of the body of the vehicle type for which the aerodynamic  device and 
equipment is intended; th at part shall be representative of the vehicle type(s) in 
question;  
1.1.3.  on a rigid wall.  
1.2.  Where the test is conducted as referred to in points 1.1.2. and 1.1.3., the parts used 
to connect the aerodynamic devices and equipment to a part of the vehicle body or 
to a rigid wall shall be equivalent to those which are used to secure the 
aerodynamic devices and equipment when it is installed on the vehicle. Every 
device shall be accompanied by installation and op erating instructions giving 
sufficient information for any competent person to install it correctly.  
1.3. At the request of the manufacturer the test procedure described in point 1.5. may 
be conducted by numerical simulation in accordance with Annex XVI to 
Directive 2007/46/EC.  
The mathematical  model shall be validated only if it is comparable with the 
physical  test conditions. To that effect, a physical test shall be conducted for the 
purposes of comparing the results obtained when using the mathematical model 
with the results of a physical test.  Comparability of the test results shall be 
proven. A validation report shall be drafted by the manufacturer.  
Any change made to the mathematical model or to the software likely to 
invalidate the validation report shall require a new validation  in accordance with 
the previous paragraph . 
1.4. Conditions for the conduct of tests  or simulations.  
1.4.1.  The vehicle shall be at rest on a level, flat, rigid and smooth surface.  
1.4.2.  Any front wheels shall be in the st raight ahead position.  
1.4.3.  The tyres shall be inflated to the pressure recommended by the vehicle 
manufacturer.  
1.4.4.  The vehicle shall be unladen.  
1.4.5.  The vehicle may, if necessary to achieve the test force required in point 1.5.1.2., 
be restrained by any method. This method shall be specified by the vehicle 
manufacturer.  
1.4.6.  Vehicles equipped with hydropneumatic, hydraulic or pneumatic suspension or  a 
device for automatic levelling according to load shall be tested with the 
suspension or device in the normal running condition specified by the 
manufacturer.  
1.5. Test procedure   
EN 14  EN 1.5.1.  The tests shall be carried out to assess that t he aerodynamic device and equipment 
offer a specified level of deformation to forces applied parallel to the longitudinal 
axis of the vehicle  as referred to in point 1.6.1.  Alternatively, the device may also 
become  folded or retrac ted under the influence of force . The fulfilment of the 
requirement referred to in point 1.6.2. shall be verified by means of suitable test 
mandrels for the purpose of the cr ash test. The device used to distribute the test 
force over the stated flat surface shall be connected to the force actuat or through a 
swivel joint. In cases of geometric incompatibilities an adapter may be used 
instead of a device with a flat surface.  
1.5.1.1.  A force shall be applied parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle via a 
surface or adaptor not more than 250 mm in height and 200 mm wide with a 
radius of curvature of 5 ± 1 mm at the vertical edges. The surface shall not be 
rigidly fixed to the ae rodynamic device and equipment and shall be articulated in 
all directions. When the test is carried out on a vehicle  as referred to in point 
1.1.1. , the height of the lower edge of the surface or adaptor shall be specified  by 
the manufacturer in an area be tween the lowest edge of the aerodynamic device 
and equipment and a point of the upper edge of the surface or adaptor that is no 
more than 2.0  m above the ground in vehicle -mounted condition (see figure 1). 
This point is to be specified  on a laden vehicle with the technically permissible 
maximum laden mass.  
Whe re the test is carried out on a part of the body of the vehicle type as referred to 
in point 1.1.2. or on a rigid wall as referred to in point 1.1.3., the height of the 
centre of the surface or adapto r shall be specified  by the manufacturer in an area 
between the lowest edge of the aerodynamic device and equipment and the point 
that represents the height of no more than 2.0  m above the ground in vehicle -
mounted condition on a laden vehicle with the tec hnically permissible maximum 
laden mass (see figure 2).  
The exact location of the centre of the surface or adaptor in the area of application 
of forces shall be specified by the manufacturer. Where the aerodynamic device 
and equipment ha ve different degree s of stiffness in the area of application of the 
forces (e.g. due to reinforcements, different materials or thicknesses , etc.), the 
location of the centre of the surface or adaptor shall be located  in the area with the 
highest resistance against exte rnal forces in longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

type of material, where any point located above another point lies rearward of that 
other point.  
The rake shall be measured  along the entire width of the cab, as located between 
the lower and upper front fascia  boundary lines , within the assessment  zone.  
1.3.2.2.  For the entire assessment zone, the single foremost point of the cab as referred to 
in  point 1.1.3. shall be considered  
The vertical transverse plane through the most forward point of the cab taken at  a 
height lower or equal to 2 000  mm from the ground measured in unladen 
condition shall be considered as regards its intersection  with the horizontal plane 
that is located at the height of 1 350 mm. The intersecting line shall then be taken 
as the base envelope line to assess the vehicle cab’s rake  in the given assessment 
zone.  
1.3.2.3.  A plane rotating around the base envelope line referred to in the second pa ragraph 
of point 1.3.2.2. , inclined rearwar d from the vertical by 3°, shall be taken  (see

that the nominal fascia  surface lines  on the front part of the vehicle , each time 
considered in a given horizontal plane between the lower and upper front fascia  
boundary lines, converge towards a common point that lies forward of the cab and 
in the longitudinal median plane of the motor vehicle.  
1.3.3.2.  Two symmet rical vertical planes shall be considered , both under a horizontal 
angle of 20° in relation to the longitudinal median plane and thus 40° apart. These 
planes are located in such a way that they also intersect with lines Tleft and Tright 
referred to in point 1 .1.3., respectively.  
1.3.3.3.  No point of the actual surface of the front fascia , as located in the respective 
outboard zone, shall lie outward of the respective vertical plane referred to in 
point 1. 3.3.2 .
