device.
2.2.1.2.                                      One of the following vehicles:
2.2.1.2.1.              A full vehicle including at least door(s), door latch(es), exterior door handle(s) with mechanical latch operation, interior door opening lever(s), the locking device(s), interior trim and door seal.
2.2.1.2.2.              A vehicle body in white (i.e., vehicle frame, doors and other door retention components) including at least door(s), door latch(es), exterior door handle(s) with mechanical latch operation, interior door opening lever(s), and the locking device(s).
2.2.1.3.                        A device or means for recording door opening.
2.2.1.4.                        Equipment for measuring and recording accelerations.
2.2.2.                              Test setup
2.2.2.1.                        Rigidly secure the full vehicle or vehicle body in white to a device that when accelerated together will assure that all points on the crash pulse curve are within the corridor defined in Table 4-1 and Figure 4-2.
2.2.2.2.                        The doors may be tethered to avoid damaging the equipment used to record door opening.
2.2.2.3.                                      Install the equipment used to record door opening.
2.2.2.4.                        Close the door(s) to be tested and ensure that the door latch(es) are in the fully-latched position, that the door(s) are unlocked, and that all windows, if provided, are closed.
2.2.3.                              Test directions (see Figure 4-3)
2.2.3.1.                        Longitudinal setup 1. Orient the vehicle or body in white so that its longitudinal axis is aligned with the axis of the acceleration device, simulating a frontal impact.
2.2.3.2.                        Longitudinal setup 2. Orient the vehicle or body in white so that its longitudinal axis is aligned with the axis of the acceleration device, simulating a rear impact.
2.2.3.3.                        Transverse setup 1. Orient the vehicle or body in white so that its transverse axis is aligned with the axis of the acceleration device, simulating a driver-side impact.
2.2.3.4.                        Transverse setup 2 (Only for vehicles having different door arrangements on each side). Orient the vehicle or body in white so that its transverse axis is aligned with the axis of the acceleration device, simulating a side impact in the direction opposite to that described in paragraph 2.2.3.3. of this annex.
2.3.                                    Option 3, Door dynamic test
2.3.1.                              Test equipment
2.3.1.1.                                      The door assembly(ies) including, at least, the door latch(es), exterior door handle(s) with mechanical latch operation, interior door opening lever(s), and the locking device(s)
2.3.1.2.                        A test fixture to mount the door(s).
2.3.1.3.                        An acceleration (or deceleration) device.
2.3.1.4.                        A tether.
2.3.1.5.                        A device or means for recording door opening.
2.3.1.6.                        Equipment for measuring and recording accelerations.
2.3.2.                              Test setup
2.3.2.1.                        Mount the door assemblies either separately or combined to the test fixture. Each door and striker should be mounted to correspond to its orientation on the vehicle and to the direction required for inertial load tests (paragraph 2.3.3. of this annex).
2.3.2.2.                                      Mount the test fixture to the
