vehicle type if there are no occupant restraints, or,
                Mt, total effective vehicle mass when occupant restraints are fitted, and
              Mt = Mk + k.Mm,  where k = 0.5 and Mm is the total mass of the restrained occupants (see paragraph 2.16.)
              h0 = the height (in metres) of the vehicle centre of gravity for the value of mass (M) chosen
              t  = perpendicular distance (in metres) of the vehicle centre of gravity from its longitudinal vertical central plane.
              B = perpendicular distance (in metres) of the vehicle's longitudinal vertical central plane to the axis of rotation in the rollover test
              g = gravitational constant
              h1 = the height (in metres) of the vehicle centre of gravity in its starting, unstable position related to the horizontal lower plane of the ditch

       3.2.2.2. Drawings and detailed description of the superstructure of the vehicle type or group of vehicle types according to Annex 4.

       3.2.2.3. Detailed drawings of the residual space according to paragraph 5.2. for every vehicle type to be approved.

3.2.3. Further detailed documentation, parameters, data depending on the approval test method chosen by the manufacturer, as detailed in Annex 5, Annex 6, Annex 7, Annex 8 and Annex 9.

3.2.4. In case of an articulated vehicle, all of this information shall be given separately for each section of the vehicle type, except for paragraph 3.2.1.1. which is related to the complete vehicle.

       3.3. On request of the technical service a complete vehicle (or one vehicle from each vehicle type, if approval is requested for a group of vehicle types) shall be presented to check its unladen kerb mass, axle loads, position of the centre of gravity and all other data and information which are relevant to the strength of superstructure.

       3.4. According to the approval test method chosen by the manufacturer, appropriate test pieces shall be submitted to the technical service upon its request.  The arrangement and number of these test pieces shall be agreed with the technical service.  In case of test pieces which have been tested earlier, the test reports shall be submitted.

       4. APPROVAL

       4.1. If the vehicle type or group of vehicle types submitted for approval to this Regulation meets the requirements of paragraph 5. below, approval of that vehicle type shall be granted.

       4.2. An approval number shall be assigned to each vehicle type approved.  Its first two digits (at present 02 corresponding to the 02 series of amendments) shall indicate the series of amendments incorporating the most recent major technical amendments made to the Regulation at the time of issue of the approval.  The same Contracting Party shall not assign the same number to another vehicle type.

       4.3. Notice of approval or of
