    5. Part I: Requirements of a vehicle with regard to specific requirements for the electric power train
         5.1. Protection against electrical shock
         These electrical safety requirements apply to high voltage buses of electric power train and electrical components which are galvanically connected to the high voltage bus of electric power train under conditions where they are not connected to external high voltage power supplies.
         5.1.1. Protection against direct contact
         Live parts shall comply with paragraphs 5.1.1.1. and 5.1.1.2. for protection against direct contact. Electrical protection barriers, enclosures, solid insulators and connectors shall not be able to be opened, separated, disassembled or removed without the use of tools or, for vehicles of categories N2, N3, M2 and M3, an operator controlled activation/deactivation device or equivalent.
         However, connectors (including the vehicle inlet) are allowed to be separated without the use of tools, if they meet one or more of the following requirements:
              (a) They comply with paragraphs 5.1.1.1. and 5.1.1.2. when separated, or
              (b) They are provided with a locking mechanism (at least two distinct actions are needed to separate the connector from its mating component). Additionally, other components, not being part of the connector, shall be removable only with the use of tools or, for vehicles of categories N2, N3, M2 and M3, an operator controlled activation/deactivation device or equivalent in order to be able to separate the connector, or
              (c) The voltage of the live parts becomes equal or below 60 V DC or equal or below 30 V AC (rms) within 1 s after the connector is separated.
         For vehicles of categories N2, N3, M2 and M3, conductive connection devices not energized except during charging of the REESS are exempted from this requirement if located on the roof of the
