and ≤ 1000 V AC root mean square (rms).
         2.25. "High voltage bus" means the electrical circuit, including the coupling system for charging the REESS that operates on high voltage. In case of electrical circuits, that are galvanically connected to each other and fulfilling the voltage condition specified in paragraph 2.42., only the components or parts of the electric circuit that operate on high voltage are classified as a high voltage bus.
         2.26. "Indirect contact" means the contact of persons with exposed conductive parts.
         2.27. "Live parts" means the conductive part(s) intended to be electrically energized under normal operating conditions.
         2.28. "Luggage compartment" means the space in the vehicle for luggage accommodation, bounded by the roof, hood, floor, side walls, as well as by the barrier and enclosure provided for protecting the occupants from direct contact with high voltage live parts, being separated from the passenger compartment by the front bulkhead or the rear bulk head.
         2.29. "Manufacturer" means the person or body who is responsible to the approval authority for all aspects of the approval process and for ensuring conformity of production. It is not essential that the person or body is directly involved in all stages of the construction of the vehicle or component which is the subject of the approval process
         2.30. "Non-aqueous electrolyte" means an electrolyte not based on water as the solvent.
         2.31. "Normal operating conditions" includes operating modes and conditions that can reasonably be encountered during typical operation of the vehicle including driving at legally posted speeds, parking and standing in traffic, as well as, charging using chargers that are compatible with the specific charging ports installed on the vehicle. It does not include conditions where the vehicle is damaged, either by a crash, road debris or vandalization, subjected to fire or water submersion, or in a state where service and or maintenance is needed or being performed.
         2.32. "On-board isolation resistance monitoring system" means the device which monitors the isolation resistance between the high voltage buses and the electrical chassis.
         2.33. "Open type traction battery" means a liquid type battery requiring refilling with water and generating hydrogen gas released to the atmosphere.
         2.34. "Passenger compartment" means the space for occupant accommodation, bounded by the roof, floor, side walls, doors, window glass, front bulkhead and rear bulkhead, or rear gate, as well as by the barriers and enclosures provided for protecting the occupants from direct contact with live parts.
         2.35. "Protection degree IPXXB" means protection from contact with high voltage live parts provided by either an electrical protection barrier or an enclosure and tested using a Jointed Test Finger (IPXXB) as described in Annex 3.
         2.36. "Protection degree IPXXD" means protection from contact with
