2.3.                                           "Compressed hydrogen storage system (CHSS)" means a system designed to store hydrogen fuel for a hydrogen-fuelled vehicle and composed of a pressurized container, pressure relief devices (PRDs) and shut off device that isolate the stored hydrogen from the remainder of the fuel system and the environment.
2.4.                                           "Container (for hydrogen storage)" means the component within the hydrogen storage system that stores the primary volume of hydrogen fuel.
2.5.                                           "Door latch system" consists, at a minimum, of a latch and a striker.
2.6.                                           "Fuel ballast leakage" means the fall, flow, or run of fuel ballast from the vehicle but does not include wetness resulting from capillary action.
2.7.                                           "Fully latched position" is the coupling condition of the latch that retains the door in a completely closed position.
2.8.                                           "Gross vehicle mass" means the maximum mass of the fully laden solo vehicle, based on its construction and design performances, as declared by the manufacturer.
2.9.                                           "Hinge" is a device used to position the door relative to the body structure and control the path of the door swing for passenger ingress and egress.
2.10.                                       "Hydrogen-fuelled vehicle" means any motor vehicle that uses compressed gaseous hydrogen as a fuel to propel the vehicle, including fuel cell and internal combustion engine vehicles. Hydrogen fuel for passenger vehicles is specified in ISO 14687-2:2012 and SAE J2719 (Sep 2011 Revision).
2.11.                                       "Latch" is a device employed to maintain the door in a closed position relative to the vehicle body with provisions for deliberate release (or operation).
2.12.                                       "Latched" means any coupling condition of the door latch system, where the latch is in a fully latched position, a secondary latched position, or between a fully latched position and a secondary latched position.
2.13.                                       "Manufacturer" means the person or body responsible to the Approval Authority for all aspects of the type 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, system or component which is the subject of the approval process.
2.14.                                       "Passenger compartment" means the space for occupant accommodation, bounded by the roof, floor, side walls, doors, outside glazing and front bulkhead and the plane of the rear compartment bulkhead or the plane of the rear-seat back support.
2.15.                                       "Pressure relief device
