mark shall be clearly legible and be indelible.

              4.8. The approval mark shall be placed close to or on the vehicle data plate.

5.  Specifications
              5.1. Any vehicle fitted with a BSIS complying with the definition of paragraph 2.3. above shall meet the requirements contained in paragraphs 5.2. to 5.7. of this Regulation.

               When the vehicle is equipped with a means to automatically deactivate the BSIS in situations such as, having street cleaning equipment or snowploughs attached, emptying waste containers, or having doors opening to the outside of a bus, the following provisions shall apply as appropriate: The vehicle manufacturer shall provide a list of situations and corresponding criteria where the BSIS is automatically deactivated to the technical service at the time of type approval and it shall be annexed to the test report. The BSIS shall be automatically reactivated as soon as the conditions that led to the automatic deactivation are not present anymore. A constant optical warning signal shall inform the driver that the BSIS has been deactivated. The yellow failure warning signal specified in paragraph 5.6. below may be used for this purpose.

              5.2. General requirements

              5.2.1. The effectiveness of the BSIS shall not be adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields. This shall be demonstrated by compliance with the technical requirements and transitional provisions of UN Regulation No. 10, 04 series of amendments or any later series of amendments.

              5.2.2. With the exception of BSIS external elements which are part of another device subject to specific protrusion requirements, BSIS external elements may protrude up to 100 mm beyond the width of the vehicle."

              5.3. Performance requirements

              5.3.1. The BSIS shall inform the driver about nearby bicycles that might be endangered during a potential turn, by means of an optical signal, so that the vehicle can be stopped before crossing the bicycle trajectory.

              It shall also inform the driver about approaching bicycles while the vehicle is stationary before the bicycle reaches the vehicle front, taking into account a reaction time of 1.4 seconds. This shall be tested according to paragraph 6.6.

               The BSIS shall warn the driver, by means of an optical signal, acoustical signal, haptic signal or any combination of these signals, when the risk of a collision increases.

              An optical information signal shall be maintained only for as long as the conditions specified in paragraph 5.3.1.4. below are fulfilled. For vehicles of categories N2 with a technically permissible maximum mass exceeding 8 tonnes, N3 and M3 the deactivation of the information signal as a result of the vehicle turning away from the bicycle trajectory is not allowed as long as a collision between vehicle and bicycle is still possible, in case the driver would steer
