Annex 6

METHOD OF MEASURING PROJECTIONS

      1. To determine the amount by which an item projects in relation to the panel on which it is mounted, a 165 mm diameter sphere shall be moved along and be kept in contact with the component under consideration, starting from the initial position of contact with the component under consideration. The projection's value is the largest of all possible variations "y", the variation measured from the centre of the sphere perpendicular to the panel.

    1.1              If the panels and components, etc., are covered with materials softer than 50 shore A hardness, the procedure for measuring the projections described above shall apply only after removal of such materials.

    2.                   The projection of switches, pull-knobs, etc., situated in the reference area shall be measured by using the test apparatus and procedures described below:

    2.1              Apparatus

    2.1.1        The apparatus for measuring projections shall consist of a hemispherical headform 165 mm in diameter in which there is a sliding ram of 50 mm diameter.

    2.1.2        Relative positions of the flat end of the ram and the edge of the headform shall be shown as a graduated scale on which a mobile index shall register the maximum measurement achieved when the apparatus is moved away from the item tested. A minimum distance of 30 mm shall be measurable; the measuring scale shall be graduated in halfmillimetres to make possible an indication of the extent of the projections in question.

    2.1.3        Gauging procedure

       2.1.3.1              The apparatus shall be placed on a flat surface so that its axis is perpendicular to that surface. When the flat end of the ram contacts the surface, the scale shall be set at zero.

       2.1.3.2              A 10 mm strut shall be inserted between the flat end of the ram and the retaining surface; a check shall be made to ensure that the mobile index records this measurement.

    2.1.4        The apparatus for measuring projections is illustrated in the figure of the appendix to this annex.

    2.2              Test procedure

    2.2.1        A cavity shall be formed in the headform
