checked, whether there is an influence on other vehicle systems, and the method(s) used in establishing the situations which will result in a failure warning signal being displayed. The documentation package shall give sufficient information for the Type Approval Authority to identify the type of and to aid the decision-making on the selection of worst-case conditions.

              6.2. Test conditions

              6.2.1. The test shall be performed on a flat, dry asphalt or a concrete surface.

              6.2.2. The ambient temperature shall be between 0° C and 45° C.

              6.2.3. The test shall be performed under visibility conditions that allow safe driving at the required test speed.

              6.3. Vehicle conditions

              6.3.1. Test weight

              The vehicle may be tested at any condition of load, the distribution of the mass among the axles shall be stated by the vehicle manufacturer without exceeding any of the maximum permissible mass for each axle. No alteration shall be made once the test procedure has begun. The vehicle manufacturer shall demonstrate through the use of documentation that the system works at all conditions of load.

              6.3.2. The vehicle shall be tested at the tyre pressures for normal running conditions.

              6.3.3. In the case where the BSIS is equipped with a user-adjustable information timing, the test as specified in paragraphs 6.5. and 6.6. below shall be performed for each test case with the information threshold set at the settings that generate the information signal closest to the collision point, i.e. worst case setting. No alteration shall be made once the test run has started.

              6.3.4. Pre-Test Conditioning If requested by the vehicle manufacturer, the subject vehicle may be driven a maximum of 100 km on a mixture of urban and rural roads with other traffic and roadside furniture to initialise the sensor system.

              6.4.  Optical failure warning signals verification test

              6.4.1.  With the vehicle stationary check that the warning signals comply with the requirements of paragraph 5.6. above.

              6.4.2.  With the vehicle stationary, activate the information and warning signals as specified in paragraphs 5.4. and 5.5. and verify that the signals comply with the requirements specified in those paragraphs.

              6.5. Blind Spot Information Dynamic Test

              6.5.1.  Using markers and the bicycle dummy, form a corridor according to Figure 1 in Appendix 1 to this Regulation and the additional dimensions as specified in Table 1 of Appendix 1 to this Regulation.

              6.5.2. Position the bicycle target at the appropriate starting position as shown in Figure 1 of Appendix 1 to this Regulation.

              6.5.3. Position a local traffic sign corresponding to sign C14 as defined in the Vienna convention on road signs and signals[3] (speed limit 50 km/h) or the local sign closest to this sign in meaning on a pole at
