line of the vehicle and 300 mm forward and parallel to this line.
The approval of a REESS tested under this paragraph shall be limited to specific vehicle type.
6.6.                                    For Paragraph 6.4.2.1.2 of Appendix A read:
Vehicle specific component test
The test shall be conducted in accordance with Annex 8D of this Regulation.
The crush force specified in paragraph 3.2.1. of Annex 8D may be replaced with the value declared by the applicant using the data obtained from either actual crash tests or its simulation as specified in Annex 3 of UN Regulations Nos. 12 or 94 in the direction of travel and according to Annex 4 to UN Regulation No. 95 in the direction horizontally perpendicular to the direction of travel. These forces and the method used to determine them must be recorded in the applicant's 'Supporting Information' and provided to the Department on request.
The 'Manufacturer' may, use forces derived from the data obtained from alternative crash test procedures, but these forces shall be equal to or greater than the forces that would result from using data in accordance with the Regulations specified above.
The 'Manufacturer' may define the relevant parts of the vehicle structure used for the mechanical protection of the REESS components. The test shall be conducted with the REESS mounted to this vehicle structure in a way which is representative of its mounting in the vehicle.
6.7.                                    For paragraph 6.4.2.2 of Appendix A read:
Component based test
The test shall be conducted in accordance with Annex 8D to this Regulation.
REESS approved according to this paragraph shall be mounted in a position which is between the two planes; (a) a vertical plane perpendicular to the centre line of the vehicle located 420 mm rearward from the front edge of the vehicle, and (b) a vertical plane perpendicular to the centre line of the vehicle located 300 mm forward from the rear edge of the vehicle.
The mounting restrictions shall be documented in Annex 6 – Part 2.
The crush force specified in paragraph 3.2.1. of Annex 8D may be replaced with the value declared by the 'Manufacturer' of the REESS. This value shall be declared in the 'Manufacturers' fitting instructions for the REESS. In this case, the vehicle 'Manufacturer' who uses such REESS shall demonstrate, that the contact force to the REESS will not exceed the figure declared by the REESS 'Manufacturer'. Such force shall be determined by the vehicle 'Manufacturer' using the data obtained from either actual crash test or its simulation as specified in Annex 3 to UN Regulations Nos. 12 or 94 in the direction of travel and according to Annex 4 to Regulation No. 95 in the direction horizontally perpendicular
