    REFERENCE DATA CONCERNING SEATING POSITIONS

    1. Coding of reference data
     Reference data are listed consecutively for each seating position.  Seating positions are identified by a two-digit code.  The first digit is an Arabic numeral and designates the row of seats, counting from the front to the rear of the vehicle.  The second digit is a capital letter which designates the location of the seating position in a row, as viewed in the direction of forward motion of the vehicle; the following letters shall be used:
      L = left
      C = centre
      R = right

    COLLISION TEST PROCEDURE

    1. INSTALLATIONS

    1.1. Testing ground
     The test area shall be large enough to accommodate the mobile deformable barrier propulsion system and to permit after-impact displacement of the vehicle impacted and installation of the test equipment.  The part in which vehicle impact and displacement occur shall be horizontal, flat and uncontaminated, and representative of a normal, dry, uncontaminated road surface.

    2. TEST CONDITIONS
    2.1. The vehicle to be tested shall be stationary.
    2.2. The mobile deformable barrier shall have the characteristics set out in annex 5 to this Regulation.  Requirements for the examination are given in the appendix to annex 5.  The mobile deformable barrier shall be equipped with a suitable device to prevent a second impact on the struck vehicle.
    2.3. The trajectory of the mobile deformable barrier longitudinal median vertical plane shall be perpendicular to the longitudinal median vertical plane of the impacted vehicle.
    2.4. The longitudinal vertical median plane of the mobile deformable barrier shall be coincident within ± 25 mm with a transverse vertical plane passing through the R point of the front seat adjacent to the struck side of the tested vehicle.  The horizontal median plane limited by the external lateral vertical planes of the front face shall be at the moment of impact within two planes determined before the test and situated 25 mm above and below the previously defined plane.
    2.5. Instrumentation shall comply with ISO 6487:1987 unless otherwise specified in this Regulation.
    2.6. The stabilised temperature of the test dummy at the time of the side impact test shall be 22 ± 4°C.

    3. TEST SPEED
     The mobile deformable barrier speed at the moment of impact shall be 50 ±
