         6.3.1. The test shall be conducted in accordance with Annex 8B to this Regulation.
         6.3.2. Acceptance criteria
         6.3.2.1. During the test, there shall be no evidence of:
              (a) Electrolyte leakage;
              (b) Rupture (applicable to high voltage REESS(s) only);
              (c) Fire;
              (d) Explosion.
         Evidence of electrolyte leakage shall be verified by visual inspection without disassembling any part of the tested-device.
         6.3.2.2. For a high voltage REESS, the isolation resistance measured after the test in accordance with Annex 4B of this Regulation shall not be less than 100 Ω/Volt.
         6.4. Mechanical impact
         6.4.1. Mechanical Shock
         At the manufacturer´s choice the test may be performed as, either
              (a) Vehicle based tests in accordance with paragraph 6.4.1.1. of this Regulation, or
              (b) Component based tests in accordance with paragraph 6.4.1.2. of this Regulation, or
              (c) Any combination of (a) and (b) above, for different direction of vehicle travel.
         6.4.1.1. Vehicle based test
         Compliance with the requirements of the acceptance criteria of paragraph 6.4.1.3. below may be demonstrated by REESS(s) installed in vehicles that have been subjected to vehicle crash tests in accordance with Regulation No. 12, Annex 3 or Regulation No. 94, Annex 3 for frontal impact, and Regulation No. 95, Annex 4 for side impact. The ambient temperature and the SOC shall be in accordance with the said Regulations.
         The approval of a REESS tested under this paragraph shall be limited to the specific vehicle type.
         6.4.1.2. Component based test
         The test shall be conducted in accordance with Annex 8C to this Regulation.
         6.4.1.3. Acceptance criteria
         During the test there shall be no evidence of:
              (a) Fire;
              (b) Explosion;
              (c1) Electrolyte leakage if tested according to paragraph 6.4.1.1.:
                  (i) For a period from the impact until 30 minutes after the impact there shall be no electrolyte spillage from the REESS into the passenger compartment;
                  (ii) No more than 7 per cent by volume of the REESS electrolyte capacity shall spill from the REESS to the outside of the passenger compartment (for open type traction batteries a limitation to a maximum of 5 litres also applies);
              (c2) Electrolyte leakage if tested according to paragraph 6.4.1.2.
         After the vehicle based test (paragraph 6.4.1.1.), a REESS which is located inside the passenger compartment shall remain in the installed location and the REESS components shall remain inside REESS boundaries. No part of any REESS that is located outside the passenger compartment shall enter the passenger compartment during or after the impact test procedures.
         After the component based test (paragraph 6.4.1.2.) the tested-device shall be retained by its mounting and its components shall remain inside its boundaries.
         For a high voltage REESS the isolation resistance of the tested-device shall ensure at least 100 Ω/Volt for the whole
