1: When a DC live part of such an electric circuit is connected to electrical chassis and the specific voltage condition applies, the maximum voltage between any live part and the electrical chassis is ≤ 30 V AC (rms) and ≤ 60 V DC.

               Note 2: For pulsating DC voltages (alternating voltages without change of polarity) the DC threshold shall be applied.

              2.46. "State of Charge (SOC)" means the available electrical charge in a REESS expressed as a percentage of its rated capacity.

              2.47. "Fire" means the emission of flames from the vehicle. Sparks and arcing shall not be considered as flames.

              2.48. "Explosion" means the sudden release of energy sufficient to cause pressure waves and/or projectiles that may cause structural and/or physical damage to the surrounding of the vehicle

3.  Application for approval
              3.1. The application for approval of a vehicle type with regard to the protection of the occupants in the event of a lateral collision shall be submitted by the vehicle manufacturer or by his duly accredited representative.

              3.2.1. A detailed description of the vehicle type with respect to its structure, dimensions, lines and constitutent materials;

              3.2.2. Photographs and/or diagrams and drawings of the vehicle showing the vehicle type in front, side and rear elevation and design details of the lateral part of the structure;

              3.2.3. Particulars of the vehicle's mass as defined by paragraph 2.11. of this Regulation;

              3.2.4. The lines and inside dimensions of the passenger compartment;

              3.2.5. A description of the relevant side interior fittings and protective systems installed in the vehicle;

              3.2.6. A general description of the electrical power source type, location and the electrical power train (e.g. hybrid, electric).

              3.3. The applicant for approval shall be entitled to present any data and results of tests carried out which make it possible to establish that compliance with the requirements can be achieved on prototype vehicles with a sufficient degree of accuracy.

              3.4. A vehicle which is representative of the type to be approved shall be submitted to the Technical Service responsible for conducting the approval tests.

              3.4.1.  A vehicle not comprising all the components proper to the type may be accepted for tests provided that it can be shown that the absence of the components omitted has no detrimental effect on the performance prescribed in the requirements of this Regulation.

              3.4.2. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant for approval to show that the application of paragraph 3.4.1 above is in compliance with the requirements of this Regulation.
