either continuously or in increments of not more than 26 mm or 890 N for the total crush distance.

29.3.                                DETERMINATION OF CRUSH RESISTANCE

29.3.1.                          From the results recorded as specified in clause 29.2.3.5, a curve of load versus displacement must be plotted and the integral of the applied load with respect to the crush distances specified in clause 29.3.2 and clause 29.3.3 obtained.  These quantities divided by the specified crush distances represent the average forces required to deflect the door over these distances.

29.3.2.                          The initial crush resistance is the average force required to deform the door over the initial 155 mm of crush.

29.3.3.                          The intermediate crush resistance is the average force required to deform the door over the initial 310 mm of crush.

29.3.4.                          The peak crush resistance is the largest force recorded over a total crush distance not exceeding 460 mm.

29.4.                                ALTERNATIVE STANDARDS

         The technical requirements of S3 and S4 of FMVSS 214‑35 F.R. 16801, October 30, 1970 "Side Door Strength - Passenger Cars" as amended by FMVSS 214‑58 FR 14169 - are deemed to be equivalent to the technical requirements of this rule.

29.5.                                EXEMPTION FROM TEST REQUIREMENTS

         Vehicles complying with the requirements of ADR 72/… are exempt from the requirements of this rule.
