a zone on the nearside of the moving vehicle. In such case, the specification of the relevant zone and the activation of the information signal shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. These specifications shall however cover both the entry from the front and from the rear of the manufacturer defined zone.

              6.6. Blind Spot Information Static Tests

              6.6.1. Static Test Type 1

               Leave the vehicle under test stationary. Then manoeuvre the bicycle dummy perpendicular to the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle with an impact position 1.15 m in front of the most forward point of the vehicle, with a speed of 5 ± 0.5 km/h and a lateral tolerance of 0.2 m, as shown in Figure 2 in Appendix 1.

               The test is passed if the Blind Spot Information signal is activated at the latest when the distance between bicycle and vehicle is 2 m.

              6.6.2. Static Test Type 2

               Leave the vehicle under test stationary. Then manoeuvre the bicycle dummy parallel to the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle, with a lateral separation of 2.75 ± 0.2 m, with a bicycle speed of 20 ± 0.5 km/h, as shown in Figure 2 of Appendix 1. The bicycle should be at constant speed at least 44 m before passing the most forward vehicle point.

               The test is passed if the Blind Spot information signal is activated at the latest when the bicycle is 7.77 m away from the projection of the vehicle's most forward point to the bicycle line of movement.

              6.6.3. Vehicles of categories N2 with a technically permissible maximum mass not exceeding 8 tonnes and M2 are deemed to meet the requirements of paragraph 6.6. if the Blind Spot Information signal has been activated when the bicycle target is entering longitudinally forward from the rear into a zone adjacent to the vehicle. The zone shall cover a lateral separation between bicycle and vehicle of 0.9 to 3.0 meters and from the vehicle front right corner to the rear of the vehicle. In such case the activation shall occur before the entire bicycle target has entered the zone.

              6.7. The manufacturer shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Technical Service and Type Approval Authority, through the use of documentation, simulation or any other means, that the Blind Spot Information signal is not activated, as described in paragraph 6.5.10., when the vehicle passes any other usual stationary object than the traffic sign. In particular, parked cars and traffic cones shall be addressed.

              6.8. Failure detection test

              6.8.1.  Simulate a BSIS failure, for example by disconnecting the power source to any BSIS component or disconnecting any electrical connection between BSIS components. The electrical connections for the failure warning
