fixed linear reference for left side door sill pitch angle measurement is illustrated in Figure 9-1 of Annex 9.
2.7.                              "Pole" means a fixed rigid vertically oriented metal structure with a continuous outer cross section diameter of 254 mm ± 6 mm, beginning no more than 102 mm above the lowest point of the tyres on the impact side of the vehicle in the laden attitude, and extending at least above the highest point of the roof of the test vehicle.
2.8.                              "Roll angle" is the angle of a fixed linear reference connecting two reference points either side of the vehicle longitudinal centre plane on the front or rear (as applicable) of the vehicle body, relative to a level surface or horizontal reference plane. An example of a suitable fixed linear reference for rear roll angle measurement is illustrated in Figure 9-2 of Annex 9.
2.9.                              "Specific gravity" means the density of a reference liquid expressed as a ratio of the density of water (i.e. ρliquid/ρwater) at 25 °C reference temperature and 101.325 kPa reference pressure.
2.10.                          "Stoddard solvent" means a homogeneous, transparent, petroleum distillate mixture of refined C7-C12 hydrocarbons; with a flash point of at least 38 °C, a specific gravity of 0.78 ± 0.03 and a dynamic viscosity of 0.9 ± 0.05 mPa·s at 25 °C.
2.11.                          "Test attitude" means the pitch and roll angle of the test vehicle to be impacted with the pole.
2.12.                          "Unladen attitude" means the pitch and roll angle of the unladen vehicle when positioned on a level surface with all tyres fitted and inflated as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
2.13.                          "Useable fuel tank capacity" means the fuel tank capacity specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
2.14.                          "Vehicle master control switch" means the device by which the vehicle's onboard electronics system is brought from being switched off, as is the case when the vehicle is parked without the driver present, to the normal operating mode.
2.15.                          "Vehicle fuel" means the optimum fuel recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for the applicable fuel system.

3.                                    State of the test vehicle
3.1.                              The test vehicle shall be representative of the series production, shall include all the equipment normally fitted and shall be in normal running order.
3.2.                              Notwithstanding paragraph 3.1. of this annex above, some components may be omitted or replaced by equivalent masses where the Approval Authority in consultation with the manufacturer and the Technical Service, considers that any such omission or substitution will have no effect on the results of the test.

4.1.1.                        An enclosed temperature controlled area suitable for ensuring stabilization of the test dummy temperature prior to testing.
4.2.                              Pole
4.2.1.                        A pole satisfying
