maximum lateral misalignment allowed between the vertical median line of the front of the vehicle and the vertical median line of the collision wall shall be  30 cm; at the moment of impact the vehicle shall no longer be subjected to the action of any additional steering or propelling device. The speed on impact shall be between 48.3 km/h and 53.1 km/h.
2.3. The fuel feed system shall be filled to at least 90 per cent of its capacity with fuel or an equivalent liquid.

Annex 8
  Determination of dimension "a" of head restraint gaps

Figure 1

Example of horizontal gaps
Note: Section A-A is to be made in a point of the gap area which allows the maximum sphere intrusion, without exerting any load.

Example of vertical gaps
Note: Section A-A is to be made in a point of the gap area which allows the maximum sphere intrusion, without exerting any load.

Annex 9
  Test procedure for devices intended to protect the occupants against displacement of luggage
1.  Test blocks
Rigid blocks, with the centre of inertia in the geometric centre.
Type 1
Dimensions:  300 mm x 300 mm x 300 mm
                     All edges and corners rounded to 20 mm
Mass:   18 kg
              Moment of inertia 0.3 ± 0.05 kgm² (around all 3 principal axis of inertia of the luggage blocks)

Type 2
Dimensions:  500 mm x 350 mm x 125 mm
                     all edges and corners rounded to 20 mm
Mass:   10 kg
2.  Test preparation
2.1.  Test of seat-backs (see Figure 1)
2.1.1.  General requirements
2.1.1.1.  At the option of the car manufacturer, parts whose hardness is lower than 50 Shore A can be removed from the tested seat and head restraint for the tests.
2.1.1.2.  Two type 1 test blocks shall be placed on the floor of the luggage compartment. In order to determine the location of the test blocks in the longitudinal direction, they shall first be positioned such that their front side contacts that part of the vehicle which constitutes the forward boundary of the luggage compartment and that their lower side rests on the floor of the luggage compartment. They shall then be moved backwards and parallel to the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle until their geometrical centre has traversed a horizontal distance of 200 mm. If the dimensions of the luggage compartment do not allow a distance of 200 mm and if the rear seats are horizontally adjustable, these seats shall be moved forward to the limit of the adjustment range intended for normal occupant use, or to the position resulting in a distance of 200 mm, whichever is less. In other cases, the test blocks shall be placed
