at the time closing was initiated.

          A position at least 50 mm more open than the position at the time reversing was initiated.

         20.3.2.6.3  To check these devices, a measuring instrument/test rod is placed through the window 'Opening' from the inside of the vehicle such that the cylindrical surface of the rod contacts the structure which forms the boundary of the window. The force/deflection ratio of the measuring, instrument/test rod must be at least 10 N/nm. Placements of the test rods are illustrated in Figure 6.

         20.3.2.6.4  The technical requirements of FMVSS 118 FR VOL36 No. 232-02.12.1971- Power Operated Window System; as amended by FMVSS 118-FR VOL58 No. 60-31.03.1993 are deemed to be equivalent to the technical requirements of clause 20.3 of this national standard.

21.                                      WARNING DEVICES - AUDIBLE 21.1 General
21.1.1.                          No siren, repeater horn, bell, exhaust whistle or compression whistle or other device capable of producing a sound resembling that produced by any such siren, repeater horn, bell or whistle must be attached to a motor vehicle other than an emergency community service vehicle.
21.1.2.                          For the purpose of this clause, a repeater horn is any device which generates an audible sound (to be emitted) alternating between different tones or frequencies on a regular time cycle.
21.2.                                Warning Device

         Every motor vehicle must be fitted with a least one warning device capable of giving sufficient audible warning, of the presence of the vehicle. It must give an audible signal having constant amplitude and frequency characteristics. It may be powered by any energy source including compressed air.

21.3.                                Reversing Alarm

         Notwithstanding clauses 21.1 and 21.2 a further device may be fitted which when and only when reverse gear is selected emits an intermittent audible signal on a regular time cycle. It must not emit a signal louder than is necessary to warn persons of the proximity of the reversing vehicle.

22.                                      STABILITY REQUIREMENT (LEM, LEP & LEG Vehicles only)
22.1.                                For LEM1, LEP1 & LEG1 vehicles the height of the centre of mass (h) must not exceed the horizontal distance from the centre of mass to the nearest roll axis (d) (see Figure 5).
22.2.                                For LEM2, LEP2 & LEG2 vehicles the height of the centre of mass (h) must not exceed one and a half times the horizontal distance from the centre of mass to the nearest roll axis (d) (see Figure 5).
22.3.                                Test procedure for determining, the vehicle's centre of mass.
22.3.1.                          Unless otherwise 'Approved', the location of the vehicle's centre of mass must be determined by the method described below.
22.3.2.                          Transverse location
22.3.2.1.                    The transverse location of the centre of mass can be taken to be located along the vehicle's longitudinal centreline.
22.3.3.
