I.  DEVICES FOR INDIRECT VISION

2.  Definitions

        For the purposes of this Regulation:

       2.1. "Devices for indirect vision" means devices to observe the traffic area adjacent to the vehicle which cannot be observed by direct vision. These can be conventional mirrors, camera-monitors or other devices able to present information about the indirect field of vision to the driver.

       2.1.1. "Mirror" means any device, excluding devices such as periscopes, intended to give a clear view to the rear, side or front of the vehicle within the fields of vision defined in paragraph 15.2.4. of this Regulation.

       2.1.1.1. "Interior mirror" means a device as defined in paragraph 2.1. above, which can be fitted in the passenger compartment of a vehicle.

       2.1.1.2. "Exterior mirror" means a device as defined in paragraph 2.1. above, which can be mounted on the external surface of a vehicle.
