FUPD
7.1.                                    If the vehicle submitted for approval pursuant to this Part of this Regulation is provided with an approved FUPD and meets the requirements of paragraph 8 below, approval of that vehicle type shall be granted in accordance with the arrangements contained in annex 4.
7.2.                                    Notice of approval, or of extension or of refusal of approval of the vehicle type pursuant to this Regulation shall be communicated to the Parties to the 1958 Agreement which apply this Regulation, by means of a form conforming to the model in annex 2 to this Regulation.
8.                                          REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION OF AN APPROVED FUPD
8.1.                                    The maximum mass of a vehicle type for which approval is requested shall not exceed the value indicated on the type approval communication form of each approved FUPD intended to be installed on that vehicle.
8.2.                                    The vehicle with the FUPD installed shall satisfy certain dimensional requirements specified in annex 5 taking into account the test conditions and information indicated on the communication document contained in annex 1 issued in respect of the FUPD.
8.3.                                    The FUPD shall be so fitted to the vehicle that the horizontal distance measured in the rearward direction from the foremost part of the vehicle to the front of the FUPD does not exceed 400 mm diminished by the recorded deformation (annex 1, item 9) measured at any of the points where the test forces have been applied during the type approval of the FUPD in conformity with the provisions of Part I of this Regulation and recorded in the type approval communication form (see figures 1 and 2).
8.4.                                    In measuring these distances, any part of the vehicle, which is more than 2 m above the ground, shall be excluded.
8.5.                                    The maximum ground clearance with respect to the underside of the FUPD shall be no more than 400 mm, as specified in paragraph 2 of annex 5, between the two points P1 in the installed condition. Outboard of each point P1 this height may be greater than 400 mm providing the underside is not above a plane passing through the underside of the FUPD directly below the point P1 and forming a slope at 15º above the horizontal (see figure 3).
8.6.                                    The height above the ground of the points of application of the test forces applied to the FUPD according to Part I of this Regulation and recorded in the type approval communication form (annex 1, item 8) shall not exceed 445 mm as specified in paragraph 2 of annex 5.
8.7.                                    The maximum ground clearance with respect to the underside of the FUPD between the two points P1 shall be no more than 450 mm taking into
