an exterior rear-view mirror in accordance with sub-clause (a) immediately above, also be fitted on the passenger's side (left side or nearside) with an exterior rear-view mirror with a 'Flat Reflecting Surface' of at least 323 cm2, instead of a Class II device for indirect vision.
6.17.1.                          Each exterior rear-view mirror fitted to a vehicle in accordance with clause 6.17 above, must:
            (a)      be fully visible by the driver through the front side door window on the side of the vehicle to which it is fitted, or the portion of the windscreen that is swept by the windscreen wiper(s);
            (b)      not project any more than 250 mm beyond the vertical longitudinal plane passing through the point from which 'Overall Width' is measured on that side;
            (c)      be adjustable in both the horizontal and the vertical directions;
            (d)      be located so as to provide the driver an unobstructed view to the rear along the side of the vehicle and extending to the horizon on a level road;[2] and
            (e)      comply with all requirements in Part I (Devices for indirect vision) of Appendix A for a Class II (main rear-view) mirror with a 'Flat Reflecting Surface', except for paragraphs 6.1.2.1.2.1 and 6.1.2.1.2.2 of Appendix A, and as varied by clauses 6.1 to 6.16 above.
6.17.1.1.                    Where this mirror is fixed to the same mounting as a Class IV rear-view mirror, and the tests prescribed by paragraph 6.3.2.2.7.2. of Appendix A apply (note clause 6.8 above), these must be executed on at least the lower mirror. Nevertheless, both these tests must also be executed on the upper mirror where any part of this mirror is less than 2 m from the ground and either more than 1,490 mm beyond the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle, or more than 240 mm beyond the vertical longitudinal plane passing through the point from which 'Overall Width' is measured on that side, when the vehicle is under a load corresponding to its 'Gross Vehicle Mass'.
6.18.                                Notwithstanding paragraphs 15.1.1 and 15.2.1.1.1 of Appendix A, a
sub-category NB2 or Category NC vehicle may:
            (a)      if fitted on the driver's side (right side or offside) with both a Class II (main rear-view) camera-monitor system and a Class IV (wide angle view) camera-monitor system, also be fitted on the driver's side with an additional exterior rear-view mirror with a 'Flat Reflecting Surface' of at least 323 cm2; and/or
            (b)      if fitted on the passenger's side (left side or nearside) with both a Class II (main rear-view) camera-monitor system and a Class IV (wide angle view) camera-monitor system, also be fitted on the passenger's side with an additional exterior rear-view mirror with a 'Flat Reflecting Surface' of at least 323
