angles of such parts shall be blunted, save where such parts protrude less than 1.5 mm.
5.5.  Protruding parts of the external surface, made of a material of hardness not exceeding 60 shore A, may have a radius of curvature less than 2.5 mm.
 The hardness measurement shall be taken with the component as installed on the vehicle.  Where it is impossible to carry out a hardness measurement by the Shore A procedure, comparable measurements shall be used for evaluation.
5.6. The provisions of the above paragraphs 5.1. to 5.5. shall apply in addition to the particular specifications of the following paragraph 6., except where these particular specifications expressly provide otherwise.
6. Particular specifications
6.1.  Ornaments
6.1.1.  Added ornaments which project more than 10 mm from their support shall retract, become detached or bend over under a force of 10 daN exerted at their most salient point in any direction in a plane approximately parallel to the surface on which they are mounted. These provisions shall not apply to ornaments on radiator grilles, to which only the general requirements of paragraph 5. shall apply.
 To apply the 10 daN force a flat-ended ram of not more than 50 mm diameter shall be used.  Where this is not possible, an equivalent method shall be used.  After the ornaments are retracted, detached or bent over, the remaining projections shall not project more than 10 mm.  These projections shall in any case satisfy the provisions of paragraph 5.2.  If the ornament is mounted on a base, this base is regarded as belonging to the ornament and not to the supporting surface.
6.1.2.  Protective strips or shielding on the external surface shall not be subject to the requirements of paragraph 6.1.1. above; however, they shall be firmly secured to the vehicle.
6.2.  Headlights
6.2.1.  Projecting visors and rims shall be permitted on headlights, provided that their projection, as measured in relation to the external transparent surface of the headlight does not exceed 30 mm and their radius of curvature is at least 2.5 mm throughout.
 In the case of a headlamp mounted behind an additional transparent surface, the projection shall be measured from the outermost transparent surface.  The projections shall be determined according to the method described in paragraph 3. of Annex 3 to this Regulation.
6.2.2.  Retracting headlights shall meet the provisions of paragraph 6.2.1. above in both the operative and retracted positions.
6.2.3. The provisions of paragraph 6.2.1. above do not apply to headlamps which are sunk into the bodywork or which are "overhung" by the bodywork, if the latter complies with the requirements of paragraph 6.9.1. below.
6.3.  Grilles and gaps
6.3.1.  The requirements of paragraph 5.4. above shall not apply
