       2.1.3. "Other devices for indirect vision" means devices as defined in paragraph 2.1. above, where the field of vision is not obtained by means of a mirror or a camera-monitor type device for indirect vision.

       2.1.4. "Type of device for indirect vision" means devices that do not differ on the following essential characteristics:

       (a) Design of the device inclusive, if pertinent, the attachment to the bodywork;

       (b) In case of mirrors the class, the shape, the dimensions and radius of curvature of the mirror's reflecting surface;

       (c) In case of camera-monitor devices the detection distance and the range of vision.

       3.3.2. In case of other devices for indirect vision: one sample of all the parts.

4.  Markings

       4.1. The samples of devices for indirect vision submitted for approval shall bear the trade name or mark of the manufacturer; this marking shall be clearly legible and be indelible.

       4.2. Every device shall possess a space large enough to accommodate the approval mark, which shall be legible when the device has been mounted on the vehicle; this space shall be shown on the drawings referred to in Annex 1.
