5.3.1.4.1. It shall be strong enough to withstand, without damage to the steering mechanism likely to
compromise safety, the application of a torque of 300Nm about the axis of the steering
spindle in both directions under static conditions.
5.3.1.4.2. It shall incorporate a mechanism designed to yield or slip, such that the system will

the engine has come into action or been set to act. This does not apply wherever the
requirements of Paragraph 5.3.2 of this Regulation are met by devices used for another
purpose in addition and the lock under the conditions above is necessary for this additional
function (e.g. electrical parking brake).
5.3.2.5. The device to prevent unauthorized use shall be so designed and constructed that it
remains fully effective even after some degree of wear as a result of 2,500 locking cycles
in each direction. In the case of protective device acting on brakes, each mechanical or

ANNEX 4 − PART I
WEAR PRODUCING TEST PROCEDURE FOR DEVICES TO PREVENT
UNAUTHORIZED USE ACTING ON THE STEERING
The test equipment shall consist of:
1.1. A fixture suitable for mounting the sample steering complete with the device to prevent
unauthorized use attached, as defined in Paragraph 5.1.2. of this Regulation.
1.2. A means for activating and deactivating the device to prevent unauthorized use which shall
include the use of the key.
1.3. A means for rotating the steering shaft relative to the device to prevent unauthorized use.
2.1. A sample of the steering complete with the device to prevent unauthorized use is attached to
the fixture referred to in Paragraph 1.1. above.
2.2.1. Start position. The device to prevent unauthorized use shall be deactivated and the steering
shaft shall be rotated to a position which prevents engagement of the device to prevent
unauthorized use, unless it is of the type which permits locking in any position of the steering.
2.2.2. Set to activate. The device to prevent unauthorized use shall be moved from the deactivated
to the activated position, using the key.
Activated. The steering spindle shall be rotated such that the torque on it, at the instant of
engagement of the device to prevent unauthorized use, shall be 40Nm ± 2Nm.
2.2.4. Deactivated. The device to prevent unauthorized use shall be deactivated by the normal
means, the torque being reduced to zero to facilitate disengagement.
2.2.5. Return. The steering spindle shall be rotated to a position which prevents engagement of the
device to prevent unauthorized use.
2.2.6. Opposite rotation. Repeat procedures described in Paragraphs 2.2.2., 2.2.3., 2.2.4. and
2.2.5, but in the opposite direction of rotation of the steering spindle.
2.2.7. The time interval between two successive engagements of the device shall be at least 10s.
2.3. The wear-producing cycle shall be repeated the number of times specified in
Paragraph 5.3.1.3. of this Regulation.
