obtained from either actual crash test or its simulation as specified in Annex 3 to UN Regulations Nos. 12 or 94 in the direction of travel and according to Annex 4 to Regulation No. 95 in the direction horizontally perpendicular to the direction of travel. These forces and their method of determination shall be recorded in the Supporting Information held by the 'Manufacturer' and shall be provided to the Department on request.
The 'Manufacturers' may, use forces derived from the data obtained from alternative crash test procedures, but these forces shall be equal to or greater than the forces that would result from using data in accordance with the regulations specified above.
6.8.                                    For Paragraph 6.10.1. of Appendix A Read:
Open type traction batteries shall meet the requirements of paragraph 5.4. of this Regulation with regard to hydrogen emissions.
Systems with a closed chemical process shall be considered as emission-free under normal operation (e.g. lithium-ion battery).
The closed chemical process shall be described and documented by the battery manufacturer in Annex 6 - Part 2.
Other technologies shall be tested and shown to comply with paragraph 5.4 where appropriate, or alternatively in accordance with international, national or industry standards for the type of technology used. Details of the standard and analysis of why the test is considered appropriate must be included in the Supporting Information.
6.9.                                    Category MA, MB, MC and NA vehicles may as an alternative to the requirements in paragraph 4.1 of Annex 7 in Appendix A, demonstrate the chassis dynamometer meets the requirements of the Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 79/03 – Emission Control for Light Vehicles.) 2011
6.10.                                In paragraph 3.5 of Appendix 1 in Annex 7 of Appendix A, omit "technical service", substitute "Approved Testing Facility".
6.11.                                For paragraph 3.2 of Annex 8A in Appendix A read:
Test procedures
The Tested-Devices shall be subjected to a vibration having a sinusoidal waveform with a logarithmic sweep between 7 Hz and 50 Hz and back to 7 Hz traversed in 15 minutes. This cycle shall be repeated 12 times for a total of 3 hours in the vertical direction of the mounting orientation of the REESS as specified by the 'Manufacturer'.
The correlation between frequency and acceleration shall be as shown in Table 1:
Table 1
Frequency and acceleration

Frequency (Hz)  Acceleration (m/s2)
7 - 18          10
18 - 30         gradually reduced from 10 to 2
30 - 50         2

Alternatively, a higher acceleration level as well as a higher maximum frequency may be used.
A vibration test profile determined by the vehicle 'Manufacturer', verified for the vehicle application may be used as a substitute for the frequency - acceleration correlation of Table 1 where this profile
