procedure which yields the highest SOC:

                  (a)  For a vehicle with a REESS designed to be externally charged, the REESS shall be charged to the highest SOC in accordance with the procedure specified by the manufacturer for normal operation until the charging process is normally terminated.

                  (b)  For a vehicle with a REESS designed to be charged only by an energy source on the vehicle, the REESS shall be charged to the highest SOC which is achievable with normal operation of the vehicle. The manufacturer shall advise on the vehicle operation mode to achieve this SOC.

              5.11.1.3.  When the vehicle is tested, the SOC shall be no less than 95 per cent of the SOC according to paragraphs 5.11.1.1. and 5.11.1.2. for REESS designed to be externally charged and shall be no less than 90 per cent of SOC according to paragraphs 5.11.1.1. and 5.11.1.2. for REESS designed to be charged only by an energy source on the vehicle. The SOC will be confirmed by a method provided by the manufacturer.

              5.11.2. The electrical power train shall be energized with or without the operation of the original electrical energy sources (e.g. engine-generator, REESS or electric energy conversion system), however:

              5.11.2.1. By the agreement between Technical Service and manufacturer it shall be permissible to perform the test with all or parts of the electrical power train not being energized insofar as there is no negative influence on the test result. For parts of the electrical power train not energized, the protection against electrical shock shall be proved by either physical protection or isolation resistance and appropriate additional evidence.

              5.11.2.2. In the case where an automatic disconnect is provided, at the request of the manufacturer it shall be permissible to perform the test with the automatic disconnection being triggered. In this case it shall be demonstrated that the automatic disconnect would have operated during the impact test. This includes the automatic activation signal as well as the galvanic separation considering the conditions as seen during the impact.

              6. Side impact dummy and its installation

              6.1. The side impact dummy shall comply with the specifications given in Annex 6 and be installed in the front seat on the impact side according to the procedure given in Annex 7 to this Regulation.

              6.2. The safety-belts or other restraint systems, which are specified for the vehicle, shall be used. Belts should be of an approved type, conforming to Regulation No. 16 or to other equivalent requirements and mounted on anchorages conforming to Regulation No. 14 or to other equivalent requirements.

              6.3. The safety-belt or restraint system shall be adjusted to fit the dummy in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions; if there are no manufacturer's instructions,
