the requirements of ADR 69/... by using a steering column mounted inflatable supplementary restraint system, the vehicle shall be exempted from having to meet the requirements of clause 10.2.1.
10.2.2.                          The upper end of the 'Steering Column' and the 'Steering Shaft' shall not be displaced horizontally 'Rearward' parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle relative to an undisturbed point on the vehicle more than 127 mm, determined by dynamic measurement, in a barrier collision test at 48 km/h minimum conducted in accordance with SAE Recommended Practice J850,  "Barrier Collision Tests", June 1980 other 'Approved' procedure.
10.2.2.1.                    Notwithstanding the above, for LEP and LEG vehicles fitted with handle-bar type steering control the point of displacement shall be taken to be upper end of the 'Steering Yoke'.
10.2.3.                          When conducting the barrier collision test, a dummy may be used providing the dummy does not contact the 'Steering Column'  assembly or steering wheel during the test.
10.2.4.                          The speed at the time of impact shall be at least 48 km/h.  If the speed measured is greater than the nominal speed of 48 km/h the measured displacement of the upper end of the 'Steering Column' and the 'Steering Shaft' may be reduced to a value appropriate to the nominal speed by multiplying it by the square of the ratio between the nominal speed and either the measured speed or 53.1 km/h, whichever is the lesser.
10.2.5.                          The minimum mass of the test vehicle shall not be less than the 'Unladen Mass' of the vehicle.
10.3.                                EXEMPTION FROM TEST REQUIREMENTS
         In cases where passenger cars meet the requirements of clause 10.2.2, other vehicles in which the forward part of the body form and the greater part of the mechanical equipment are the same as those in the said passenger car need not be tested as specified in clause 10.2.2 unless they incorporate structural or mechanical variations likely to affect compliance.
10.4.                                ALTERNATIVE  STANDARDS
10.4.1.                          The technical requirements of ECE R 12/00, 12/01 or 12/02 - "Protection against the Steering Mechanism" -   shall be deemed to be equivalent to the technical requirements of this Rule.
10.4.2.                          The technical requirements of FMVSS 203-32 FR  2414, February 3, 1967 "Impact Protection for the Driver from the Steering Control System" incorporating amendments 36 FR 232 December 2, 1971  shall be deemed to be equivalent to the technical requirements of Clause 10.2.1 of this Rule.
10.4.3.                          The technical requirements of FMVSS 204-32 FR  2414,  February 3, 1967 "Steering Control Rearward Displacement-Passenger Cars" incorporating amendments 36 FR 232,  December 2, 1971 shall be deemed to be equivalent to the technical requirements of clause 10.2.2 of this rule - provided that the vehicle has met the requirements of section 5.1 of
