Schedule 3 – AMENDMENTS

Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 14/02 – Rear Vision Mirrors) 2006
[1]               Paragraph 2.3 of Annex 6 to Appendix A, amend to read:
            "2.3. Geometrical conditions
             The angle of the incident beam (Ɵ) should preferably be 0.44 ± 0.09 rad (25 ± 5°) from the perpendicular to the test surface and shall not exceed the upper limit of the tolerance (i.e. 0.53 rad or 30°). The axis of the receptor shall make an angle (Ɵ) with this perpendicular equal to that of the incident beam (see Figure 1). The incident beam upon arrival at the test surface shall have a diameter of not less than 13 mm (0.5 inch). The reflected beam shall not be wider than the sensitive area of the photodetector, shall not cover less than 50 per cent of such area, and as nearly as possible shall cover the same area segment as used during instrument calibration.
             When an integrating sphere is used in the receiver section, the sphere shall have a minimum diameter of 127 mm (5 inch). The sample and incident beam apertures in the sphere wall shall be of such a size as to admit the entire incident and reflected light beams. The photodetector shall be so located as not to receive direct light from either the incident or the reflected beam."

[3]               Paragraph 2.3.1 of Annex 5 to Appendix B, amend to read:
            "2.3.1. The angle of the incident beam (Ɵ) should preferably be 0.44 ±0.09 rad (25 ± 5º) from the perpendicular to the test surface and shall not exceed the upper limit of the tolerance (i.e. 0.53 rad or 30º).  The axis of the receptor shall make an angle (Ɵ) with this perpendicular equal to that of the incident beam (see figure 1).  The incident beam upon arrival at the test surface shall have a diameter of not less than 19 mm.  The reflected beam shall not be wider than the sensitive area of the photodetector, shall not cover less than 50% of such area, and as nearly as possible shall cover the same area segment as used during instrument calibration."
