(See paragraph 4.5. of this Regulation)

The above approval mark affixed to a vehicle shows that the road vehicle concerned has been approved in the Netherlands (E4) pursuant to Regulations Nos. 100 and 42[5]. The approval number indicates that, at the dates when the respective approvals were granted, Regulation No. 100 was amended by the 02 series of amendments and Regulation No. 42 was still in its original form.
Annex 3

Protection against direct contacts of parts under voltage

       1. Access probes

        Access probes to verify the protection of persons against access to live parts are given in Table 1.

       2. Test conditions

        The access probe is pushed against any openings of the enclosure with the force specified in Table 1. If it partly or fully penetrates, it is placed in every possible position, but in no case shall the stop face fully penetrate through the opening.

        Internal barriers are considered part of the enclosure

        A low-voltage supply (of not less than 40 V and not more than 50 V) in series with a suitable lamp should be connected, if necessary, between the probe and live parts inside the barrier or enclosure.

        The signal-circuit method should also be applied to the moving live parts of high voltage equipment.

       Internal moving parts may be operated slowly, where this is possible.

       3. Acceptance conditions

        The access probe shall not touch live parts.

        If this requirement is verified by a signal circuit between the probe and live parts, the lamp shall not light.

        In the case of the test for IPXXB, the jointed test finger may penetrate to its 80 mm length, but the stop face (diameter 50 mm x 20 mm) shall not pass through the opening. Starting from the straight position, both joints of the test finger shall be successively bent through an angle of up to 90 degrees with respect to the axis of the adjoining section of the finger and shall be placed in every possible position.

        In case of the tests for IPXXD, the access probe may penetrate to its full length, but the stop face shall not fully penetrate through the opening.
