noticeable deformation of objects seen through the windscreen,
nor cause any confusion between the colours used on road signs.

The illuminated target consists of a light box, approximately
300 × 300 × 150 mm, whose front is most inconveniently
constructed of glass masked with opaque black paper or coated
with matt black paint. The box shall be illuminated by a suitable
lightsource.Theinsideoftheboxshallbecoatedwithmattwhite

It may be convenient to use other forms of target such as that
shown in Figure 14. It is also acceptable to replace the target

9.3.1.1.2. Procedure
Mount the safety glass pane at the specified rake angle on a
suitable stand in such a way that the observation is carried out in
thehorizontalplanepassingthroughthecentreofthetarget.1992L0022—EN—01.01.1995—001.001—33

The light box shall be viewed, in a dark or semi-dark room,
through each part of the area being examined, in order to detect
the presence of any secondary image associated with the illumi-
nated target. Rotate the safety-glass pane as necessary to ensure
thatthecorrectdirection ofviewismaintained. Amonocular may

The apparatus comprises a collimator and a telescope and may be
set up in accordance with Figure 19. However, any equivalent

When a test piece which exhibits a secondary image is placed
between the telescope and the collimator a second, less bright,
point appears at a certain distance fromthe centre of the polar
coordinate system. The secondary image separation can be read
outasthedistancebetweenthepointsseenthroughtheobservation

10. FIRE-RESISTANCETEST
10.1.Purposeandscope
This method enables the horizontal burning rate of the materials
used in the passenger compartment of motor vehicles (passenger
cars, lorries, station wagons, motor buses) to be determined after
exposuretoasmallflame.
This method permits testing of the materials and coverings used
inside vehicles to be tested either individually or in combination
up to a thickness of 13 mm. It is used to judge the uniformity of
production batches of such materials in respect of their burning
behaviour.
Because of the many differences between the real-world situation
and the precise test conditions prescribed herein (application and
orientation within a vehicle, conditions of use, ignition sources,
etc.)thismethodcannotbeconsideredtobesuitableforevaluation

similar or different materials closely held together at their surface

distance.
