            (d) 1. Unladen mass: mass of vehicle ready for normal use and equipped as follows:
                    — additional equipment required solely for the normal use under consideration,
                    — complete electrical equipment, including the lighting and light-signalling devices supplied by the manufacturer,
                    — instruments and devices required by the laws under which the unladen mass of the vehicle has been measured,
                    — the appropriate amounts of liquids in order to ensure the proper operation of all parts of the vehicle.
                     NB: the fuel and the fuel/oil mixture are not included in the measurement, but components such as the battery
                    acid, the hydraulic fluid, the coolant and the engine oil must be included.
                 2. Mass in running order: unladen mass to which the mass of the following components shall be added:
                    — fuel: tank filled to at least 90 % of the capacity stated by the manufacturer,
                    — additional equipment normally supplied by the manufacturer in addition to that needed for normal operation
                         (tool kit, luggage carrier, windscreen, protective equipment, etc.).
                     NB: in the case of a vehicle operating with a fuel/oil mixture:
                    (a) when the fuel and oil are pre-mixed the word 'fuel' must be interpreted so as to mean a prior mixture of fuel
                          and oil of this type;
                    (b) when the fuel and oil are introduced separately the word 'fuel' must be interpreted in such a way as only to
                         include the petrol. In this case the oil is already included in the measurement or the dry weight.
                 3. Technically permissible maximum mass: mass calculated by the manufacturer for specific operating conditions,
                    taking account of factors such as the strength of the materials, loading capacity of the tyres, etc.
                4. Maximum payload declared by the manufacturer: load obtained by subtracting the mass defined in 2, with rider,
                    from the mass defined in 3.
                 5. The mass of the rider is taken to be a round figure of 75 kg.
            (e) Where unconventional engines and systems are fitted information equivalent to that referred under this heading must
                be supplied by their manufacturer.
            (f) This figure should be to the nearest tenth of a millimetre.
            (g) This value should be calculated with PI = 3,1416 to the nearest cm3,
            (h) The information requested should be supplied for all possible variants,
            (i) A tolerance of 5 % shall be permitted.
            (j) The 'R point' or 'seat reference point' means the reference point referred to by the manufacturer, which:
                — has specific coordinates in relation to the structure of the vehicle,
                — corresponds to the theoretical position of the point of rotation of the trunk/thighs ('H point') for the lowest
                    normal driving or use position and the rearmost position stated by the manufacturer of the vehicle for each of the
                    seats provided,
                — 'R point' declared by the manufacturer may be taken as a reference by the competent authorities, where they so
                    wish, for each of the seats other than the front seats where the 'H point' cannot be determined by means or the
                    'tridimensional reference system' or the procedures for determination of the 'H point'.
                                                                         ANNEX III
                                                             TYPE-APPROVAL FORM
                                                                           (Model)

                   PROVISIONS RELATING T O C H E C K I N G T H E CONFORMITY O F P R O D U C T I O N
           1.      In order to check that vehicles, technical entities and components are produced in such a way as to
                   conform to the type which has been type-approved (for vehicles) or component type-approved (for
                   technical entities or components), the following provisions shall apply:
           1.1.    the holder of the type-approval certificate or component type-approval certificate shall be obliged to:
           1.1.1. ensure that there are procedures for the effective monitoring of product quality;
           1.1.2. have access to the monitoring equipment necessary for checking the conformity of each type of
                   vehicle which has been type-approved or each type of technical entity or component which has been
                   component type-approved;
           1.1.3. ensure that the data concerning test results are recorded and the attached documents are kept for a
                   period of 12 months after the cessation of production;
           1.1.4. analyse the results of each type of test in order to monitor and ensure the consistency of the charac-
                   teristics of the product, with due regard for the variations permissible within industrial manufacture;
           1.1.5. take steps to ensure that the tests prescribed in the relevant separate regulation are performed for
                   each type of product;
           1.1.6. take steps to ensure that any taking of samples or specimens which give evidence of non-conformity
                   for the type of test under consideration is followed by a fresh taking of samples and a new test. All
                   necessary measures must be taken to reestablish the conformity of the corresponding production.
           1.2.    The competent authorities which have issued the type approval certificate or component type
                   approval certificate may check at any time the methods used for checking conformity in each
                   production unit.
           1.2.1. At the time of each inspection the test and production records must be conveyed to the inspector.
           1.2.2. The inspector may select at random samples to be tested in the manufacturer's laboratory. The
                   minimum number of samples may be determined in accordance with the results of the manu-
