2.16.                                       "Rated cargo and luggage mass" means the cargo and luggage carrying capacity of the vehicle, which is the mass obtained by subtracting the unladen vehicle mass and the rated occupant mass from the gross vehicle mass.
2.17.                                       "Rated occupant mass" is the mass obtained by multiplying the total number of designated seating positions in the vehicle by 68 kg.
2.18.                                       "R-point" means a design reference point, which:
(a)                          Has coordinates determined in relation to the designed vehicle structure; and
(b)                         Shall be established, where relevant for the purpose of this Regulation, in accordance with Annex 1 of the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3). [3]

"Unladen vehicle mass" means the nominal mass of a complete vehicle with bodywork and all factory fitted equipment, electrical and auxiliary equipment for normal operation of the vehicle, including liquids, tools, fire extinguisher, standard spare parts, chocks and spare wheel, if fitted. The fuel tank is filled to 90 per cent of manufacturer rated capacity and the other liquid containing systems (except those for used water) to 100 per cent of the capacity specified by the manufacturer.
2.25.                                       "Vehicle fuel system (for hydrogen-fuelled vehicles)" means an assembly of components used to store or supply hydrogen fuel to a fuel cell (FC) or internal combustion engine (ICE).
