         11.1                                   DEFINITIONS
         11.1.1                             Refer to Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule Definitions and Vehicle Categories) 2005.
         11.2                                   GENERAL  REQUIREMENTS
         11.2.1                             Mounting
         Each 'Sun Visor' mounting shall present no rigid material edge radius of less than 3 mm that is statically 'Contactable' by a spherical 165 mm diameter head form.
         11.2.2                             Mirror
         Each edge of a 'Contactable' mirror attached to a 'Sun Visor' shall be covered with a thickness of at least 1.5 mm of energy absorbing material.  Glazing material used in 'Contactable' mirrors shall comply with the requirements of the ADR for "Safety Glazing Material", or shall be so constructed as to prevent the particles formed on fracture from becoming detached from the 'Sun Visor'.
         11.3                                   SPECIFIC  REQUIREMENTS
         11.3.1                             When tested in accordance with the procedure of Clause 11.3.4, a 'Sun Visor' shall meet the requirements of Clauses 11.3.2 and 11.3.3.
         11.3.2                             Design
         The 'Sun Visor' shall be constructed of or covered with energy absorption materials nominally over the whole area such that requirements of Clause 11.3.3 are met. These requirements shall be met by both sides of a 'Sun Visor' if both sides are 'Contactable'. Any rigid structure required to support the 'Sun Visor' or maintain its shape shall be of such dimensions as to limit the likelihood of injury to the head on impact.
         11.3.3                             Energy Absorption
         When tested in accordance with the procedure of Clause 11.3.4 or by any other 'Approved' test procedure, the test sample shall arrest the moving head in such a way that the deceleration does not exceed 80 times the acceleration due to gravity, except during a period of less than 3 milliseconds when no peak shall exceed 200 times the acceleration due to gravity.  Deceleration peaks exceeding 200 times the acceleration due to gravity and of very short duration are permissible if it can be shown that they are
