assign the same number to another vehicle type.
         14.3. Notice of approval or of refusal or of extension or withdrawal of approval of a vehicle type pursuant to this Regulation shall be communicated to the Parties to the Agreement which apply this Regulation by means of a form conforming to the model in Annex 4 to this Regulation.
         15. Requirements
         15.1. General
         For the purpose of this Regulation, the vehicle shall fulfil the following requirements:
         During a backing event at least one means of rear visibility or detection shall be provided to the driver.
         Means of rear visibility provide a close-proximity rear-view field of vision as defined in paragraph 15.2 below. Possible means are:
              (a)                    Direct vision,
              (b)                   Devices approved to UN Regulation No. 46,
              (c)                    Close Proximity Rear-view Mirror complying with this Regulation,
              (d)                   Rear-View Camera System complying with this Regulation.
         Means of detection provide an information other than vision for field of detection as defined in paragraphs 15.3 below. Possible means are:
              (a)                    Detection System complying with this Regulation.
         15.1.1. Backing event starts when the vehicle is in Active vehicle mode and the vehicle's direction selector is placed from forward, park or neutral into reverse by the driver or a system, and ends when one of the following forward motion conditions, at the manufacturer's choosing, is met:
              (a)                    A speed ≤ 16 km/h (including 0 km/h), or
              (b)                   A distance travelled ≤ 10 meters (including 0 meters), or
              (c)                    A continuous duration ≤ 10 seconds (including 0 seconds), or
              (d)                   The vehicle's direction selector is not placed in reverse.
         15.1.2. The requirements in paragraph 15. shall not apply during a remote control manoeuvring and a remote controlled parking as defined in UN Regulation No.  79.
         15.2. Close Proximity Rear-View Field of Vision
         The field of vision shall be bounded by the following planes:
              (a) A transverse vertical plane passing through a point 0.3m from the outermost point of the rear of the vehicle;
              (b) A transverse vertical plane passing through a point 3.5m behind the outermost point of the rear of the vehicle;
              (c) Two longitudinal vertical planes parallel to the longitudinal vertical median plane passing through the outermost point of each side of the vehicle.
         The height of the field of vision is defined at nine positions within the boundaries of the field of vision with test objects with a height of 0.8m and a diameter of 0.3m which are located on the ground plane as defined in Figure 3 below:

         15.2.1. Requirements
         When tested under the conditions defined in Annex 9 the requirement for close-proximity rear-view field of vision shall be considered to be satisfied if the defined field
