shall not exceed 445 mm as specified in paragraph 2 of annex 5.
8.7.                                    The maximum ground clearance with respect to the underside of the FUPD between the two points P1 shall be no more than 450 mm taking into account their movement during the application of the test load, according to Part I.
8.8.                                    The width of the FUPD shall at no point exceed the width of the mudguards covering the wheels of the foremost axle nor shall it be more than 100 mm shorter on either side than the foremost axle measured at the outermost points of the tyres, excluding the bulging of the tyres close to the ground (see figure 1), or 200 mm shorter on either side, measured from the outermost points of the access steps to the driver's cabin.
PART III. APPROVAL OF A VEHICLE WITH REGARD TO ITS FRONT UNDERRUN PROTECTION (FUP)
9.                                          APPROVAL OF A VEHICLE WITH FUP
9.1.                                    If the vehicle submitted for approval pursuant to this Regulation is provided with FUP that meets the requirements of paragraph 10 below, approval of that vehicle type shall be granted in accordance with the arrangements contained in annex 4.
9.2.                                    Notice of approval, or of extension or of refusal of approval of the vehicle type pursuant to this Regulation shall be communicated to the Parties to the 1958 Agreement which apply this Regulation, by means of a form conforming to the model in annex 3 to this Regulation.

Components whose combined function satisfies the following requirements are considered to form a front underrun protective device.
10.2.                                The FUP shall offer adequate resistance to forces applied parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The FUP shall also satisfy certain dimensional requirements. These shall be demonstrated in accordance with the test procedure and conditions specified in annex 5 to this Regulation.
10.3.                                For application pursuant to Part III, the section height of the FUPD cross-member (not separately approved to Part I) shall not be less than 100 mm for category N2 vehicles and 120 mm for vehicles of category N3.
