PART I. APPROVAL OF FRONT UNDERRUN PROTECTIVE DEVICES (FUPDs)
5.                                          APPROVAL OF AN FUPD
5.1.                                    If the FUPD submitted for approval pursuant to this Regulation meets the requirements of paragraph 6 below, approval of that type of FUPD shall be granted in accordance with the arrangements contained in annex 4.
5.2.                                    Notice of approval, or of extension or of refusal of approval of the type of FUPD pursuant to this Regulation shall be communicated to the Parties to the 1958 Agreement which apply this Regulation, by means of a form conforming to the model in annex 1 to this Regulation.
6.                                          REQUIREMENTS FOR FUPDs
6.1.                                    The FUPD shall offer adequate resistance to forces applied parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and also satisfy certain dimensional requirements. These shall be demonstrated in accordance with the test procedure and conditions specified in annex 5 to this Regulation.
6.2.                                    The section height of the FUPD cross-member shall not be less than 100 mm for category N2 vehicles and 120 mm for vehicles of category N3.  The lateral extremities of the cross-member shall not bend to the front or have a sharp outer edge; this condition is fulfilled when the lateral extremities of the cross-member are rounded on the outside and have a radius of curvature of not less than 2.5 mm.
6.3.                                    The device may be so designed that its position at the front of the vehicle can be varied.  In this event, there shall be a guaranteed method of securing it in the service position so that any unintentional change of position is precluded.  It shall be possible for the operator to vary the position of the device by applying a force not exceeding 40 daN;
6.4.                                    The outermost surfaces of every front guard installation shall be essentially smooth or horizontally corrugated save that domed heads of bolts or rivets may protrude beyond the surface to a distance not exceeding 10 mm.
PART II. APPROVAL OF A VEHICLE WITH REGARD TO THE INSTALLATION OF AN FUPD OF AN APPROVED TYPE
7.                                          APPROVAL OF AN INSTALLATION OF AN APPROVED FUPD
7.1.                                    If the vehicle submitted for approval pursuant to this Part of this Regulation is provided with an approved FUPD and meets the requirements of paragraph 8 below, approval of that vehicle type shall be granted in accordance with
