described in paragraph 6.3.2. However, breakage of the reflecting surface will be allowed if one of the following conditions is fulfilled.

              6.3.3.3.1. The fragments of glass still adhere to the back of the housing or to a surface firmly attached to the housing; partial separation of the glass from its backing is admissible provided that this does not exceed 2.5 mm on either side of the cracks. It is permissible for small splinters to become detached from the surface of the glass at the point of impact;

              6.3.3.3.2. The reflecting surface is made of safety glass.

              6.3.3.4. In the case of camera-monitor systems, the lens shall not break during the tests described in paragraph 6.3.2. above.

              7. Modification of the type of device for indirect vision and extension of approval
              7.1. Every modification to an existing type of device for indirect vision including its connection to the bodywork shall be notified to the Type Approval Authority which approved the type of device for indirect vision. The Type Approval Authority shall then either:

                  (a) Decide, in consultation with the manufacturer, that a new type-approval is to be granted; or

                  (b) Apply the procedure contained in paragraph 7.1.1. (Revision) and, if applicable, the procedure contained in paragraph 7.1.2. (Extension).

              7.1.1. Revision

               When particulars recorded in the information folder have changed and the Type Approval Authority considers that the modifications made are unlikely to have an appreciable adverse effect and that in any case the device for indirect vision still complies with the requirements, the modification shall be designated a "revision".

               In such a case, the Type Approval Authority shall issue the revised pages of the information folder as necessary, marking each revised page to show clearly the nature of the modification and the date of re-issue. A consolidated, updated version of the information folder, accompanied by a detailed description of the modification, shall be deemed to meet this requirement.

              7.1.2. Extension

               The modification shall be designated an "extension" if, in addition to the change of the particulars recorded in the information folder;

               (a) Further inspections or tests are required; or

                  (b) Any information on the communication document (with the exception of its attachments) has changed; or

                  (c) Approval to a later series of amendments is requested after its entry into force.

              7.2. Confirmation or refusal of approval, specifying the alterations shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 5.3. above to the Parties to the Agreement which apply this Regulation. In addition, the index to the information package, attached to the communication document, shall be amended accordingly to show the date of the most recent revision or extension.

              7.3. (Reserved)

              7.4. The Type Approval Authority issuing the extension of approval shall
