2.1.2. above, where the field of vision is not obtained by means of a mirror or a Rear-View Camera System.
              2.1.3. "Test object" means a cylindrical object with a height of 0.8 m and a diameter of 0.30 m.

         2.1.4. "Field of vision" means the section of the tri-dimensional space above ground level which is monitored with the help of a device for indirect vision. Unless otherwise stated, this is based on the view offered by a device and/or devices other than mirrors. This may be limited by the relevant detection distance corresponding to the test object.
         2.1.5. "Detection System" means a system which uses signals to enable the driver to detect objects in the area adjacent to the vehicle.
         2.1.5.1. "Audible information" means information using auditory signals provided by a detection system as defined in paragraph 2.1.5. above to enable the driver to detect objects in the area adjacent to the vehicle.
         2.1.5.2. "Optical information" means information using optical signals provided by a detection system as defined in paragraph 2.1.5. above to enable the driver to detect objects in the area adjacent to the vehicle.
         2.1.5.3. "Haptic information" means information using haptic signals provided by a detection system as defined in paragraph 2.1.5. above to enable the driver to detect objects in the area adjacent to the vehicle.
         2.1.6. "Field of detection" means the section of the tri-dimensional space above ground level which is monitored with the help of a detection system.
         2.2. "Type of device for means of rear visibility or detection" means devices that do not differ on the following essential characteristics:
              (a) Design of the device inclusive, if pertinent, the attachment to the bodywork;
              (b) In the case of mirrors, the shape, the dimensions and radius of curvature of the mirror's reflecting surface;
              (c) In the case of Rear-View Camera System, the field of view, the magnification.
              (d) In the case of detection systems, the sensor type, the information signal type.
         3. Application for approval
         3.1. The application for approval of a type of device for means of rear visibility shall be submitted by the holder of the trade name or mark or by his duly accredited representative.
         3.2. A model of information document is shown in Annex 1.
         3.3. For each type of device for means of rear visibility the application shall be accompanied by three samples of the parts.
         4. Markings
         4.1. The samples of devices for means of rear visibility submitted for approval shall bear the trade name or mark of the manufacturer; this marking shall be clearly legible and be indelible.
         4.2. Every device for means of rear visibility shall possess, on at least one of the main components, a space large
