Council Directive 87/345/EEC of 22 June 1987 amending Directive 80/390/EEC coordinating the requirements for the drawing-up, scrutiny and distribution of the listing particulars to be published for the admission of securities to official stock exchange listing

Official Journal L 185 , 04/07/1987 P. 0081 - 0083 Finnish special edition: Chapter 6 Volume 2 P. 0165  Swedish special edition: Chapter 6 Volume 2 P. 0165

*****COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE  of 22 June 1987  amending Directive 80/390/EEC coordinating the requirements for the drawing-up, scrutiny and distribution of the listing particulars to be published for the admission of securities to official stock exchange listing  (87/345/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 54 (2) thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),  Whereas, on 17 November 1986, the Council adopted Directive 86/566/EEC amending the First Directive of 11 May 1960 for the implementation of Article 67 of the Treaty (3); whereas, as a consequence, the number of cross-border applications for admission to listing is likely to increase;  Whereas Article 24 of Directive 80/390/EEC (4), as amended by Directive 82/148/EEC (5), provides that, where securities are to be admitted to official listing on stock exchanges in two or more Member States, the competent authorities of such Member States are to cooperate and endeavour to agree a single text for the listing particulars for use in all the Member States concerned;  Whereas that provision does not result in the full mutual recognition of listing particulars and it is therefore appropriate to amend Directive 80/390/EEC so as to achieve that recognition;  Whereas mutual recognition represents an important step forward in the creation of the Community's internal market;  Whereas, in this connection, it is necessary to specify which authorities are competent to check and approve listing particulars in the event of simultaneous applications for admission to official listing in two or more Member States;  Whereas mutual recognition can be effective only in so far as Directive 80/390/EEC and the Directives to which it refers have been incorporated in the national legislation of the Member State the competent authorities of which approve the listing particulars;  Whereas the mutual recognition of listing particulars does not in itself confer a right to admission;  Whereas it is advisable to provide for the extension, by means of agreements to be concluded by the Community with non-member countries, of the recognition of listing particulars from those countries on a reciprocal basis;  Whereas provision should be made for a transitional period for the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic to take account of the periods accorded to those Member States under Article 2 (2) of Directive 86/566/EEC,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:  Article 1  Section IV of Directive 80/390/EEC is replaced by the following Sections and Sections V and VI shall become Sections VIII and IX, respectively:  'SECTION IV  Determination of the competent authority  Article 24  Where, for the same securities, applications for admission to official listing on stock exchanges situated or operating in two or more Member States, including the Member State in which the issuer's registered office is situated, are made simultaneously or within a short interval, listing particulars shall be drawn up in accordance with the rules laid down in this Directive in the Member State in which the issuer has its registered office and approved by the competent authorities of that State; if the issuer's registered office is not situated in one of those Member States, the issuer must choose one of those States under the legislation of which the listing particulars will be drawn up and approved.  SECTION V  Mutual recognition  Article 24a  1. Once approved in accordance with Article 24, listing particulars must, subject to any translation, be recognized by the other Member States in which  admission to official listing has been applied for, without its being necessary to obtain the approval of the competent authorities of those States and without their being able to require that additional information be included in the listing particulars. The competent authorities may, however, require that listing particulars include information specific to the market of the country of admission concerning in particular the income tax system, the financial organizations retained to act as paying agents for the issuer in that country, and the way in which notices to investors are published.  2. Listing particulars approved by the competent authorities within the meaning of Article 24 must be recognized in another Member State in which application for admission to official listing is made, even if partial exemption or partial derogation has been granted pursuant to this Directive, provided that:  (a) the partial exemption or partial derogation in question is of a type that is recognized in the rules of the other Member State concerned, and  (b) the conditions that justify the partial exemption or partial derogation also exist in the other Member State concerned and that there are no other conditions concerning such exemption or derogation which might lead the competent authority in that Member State to refuse them.  Even if the conditions laid down in (a) and (b) are not fulfilled, the Member State concerned may allow its competent authorities to recognize the listing particulars approved by the competent authorities within the meaning of Article 24.  3. When approving listing particulars, the competent authorities within the meaning of Article 24 shall provide the competent authorities of the other Member States in which application for official listing is made with a certificate of approval. If partial exemption or partial derogation has been granted pursuant to this Directive, the certificate shall state that fact and the reasons for it.  4. When application for admission to official listing is made, the issuer shall communicate to the competent authorities in each of the other Member States in which it is applying for admission the draft listing particulars which it intends to use in that State.  5. Member States may restrict the application of this Article to listing particulars of issuers having their registered office in a Member State.  Article 24b  1. Where the securities for which applications for admission to official listing on stock exchanges situated in two or more Member States have been made simultaneously or within a short interval have been the subject of a prospectus drawn up and approved in accordance with this Directive, at the time of the public offer, by the competent authorities within the meaning of Article 24 in the three months preceding the application for admission in that State, that prospectus must, subject to any translation, be recognized as listing particulars in the other Member States in which application for admission to official listing is made, without its being necessary to obtain the approval of the competent authorities of those Member States and without their being able to require that additional information be included in the listing particulars. The competent authorities may, however, require that listing particulars include information specific to the market of the country of admission concerning, in particular, the income tax system, the financial organizations retained to act as paying agents for the issuer in the country of admission and the ways in which notices to investors are published.  2. Article 24a (2), (3), (4) and (5) shall apply in the eventuality referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article.  3. Article 23 shall apply to all changes occurring between the time when the content of the prospectus referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article is adopted and the time when stock exchange dealings begin.  SECTION VI  Cooperation  Article 24c  1. The competent authorities shall cooperate wherever necessary for the purpose of carrying out their duties and shall exchange any information required for that purpose.  2. Where an application for admission to official listing concerning securities giving a right to participate in company capital, either immediately or at the end of the maturity period, is made in one or more Member States other than that in which the registered office of the issuer of the shares to which those securities give entitlement is situated, while that issuer's shares have already been admitted to official listing in that Member State, the competent authorities of the Member State of admission may act only after having consulted the competent authorities of the Member State in which the registered office of the issuer of the shares in question is situated.  3. Where an application for admission to official listing is made for securities which have been listed in another Member State less than six months previously, the competent authorities to whom application is made shall contact the competent authorities which have already admitted the securities to official listing and shall, as far as possible, exempt the issuer of those securities from the preparation of new listing particulars, subject to any need for updating, translation or the issue of supplements in accordance with the individual requirements of the Member State concerned. Article 25  1. Member States shall provide that all persons employed or formerly employed by the competent authorities shall be bound by professional secrecy. This means that any confidential information received in the course of their duties may not be divulged to any person or authority except by virtue of provisions laid down by law.  2. Paragraph 1 shall not, however, preclude the competent authorities of the various Member States from exchanging information as provided for in this Directive. Information thus exchanged shall be covered by the obligation of professional secrecy to which the persons employed or formerly employed by the competent authorities receiving the information are subject.  3. Without prejudice to cases covered by criminal law, the competent authorities receiving information pursuant to Article 24c (1) may use it only for the performance of their duties or in the context of administrative appeals or legal proceedings relating to such performance.  SECTION VII  Negotiations with non-member countries  Article 25a  The Community may, by means of agreements concluded with one or more non-member countries pursuant to the Treaty, recognize listing particulars drawn up and checked, in accordance with the rules of the non-member country or countries, as meeting the requirements of this Directive, subject to reciprocity, provided that the rules concerned give investors protection equivalent to that afforded by this Directive, even if those rules differ from the provisions of this Directive.'  Article 2  1. Member States shall take the measures necessary for them to comply with this Directive by 1 January 1990. They shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof. However, for the Kingdom of Spain the date 1 January 1990 shall be replaced by 1 January 1991 and for the Portuguese Republic by 1 January 1992.  2. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the texts of the main laws, regulations and administrative provisions which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.

Council Directive 71/127/EEC of 1 March 1971 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the rear-view mirrors of motor vehicles

Official Journal L 068 , 22/03/1971 P. 0001 - 0017 Finnish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 1 P. 0165  Danish special edition: Series I Chapter 1971(I) P. 0122  Swedish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 1 P. 0165  English special edition: Series I Chapter 1971(I) P. 0136  - 0151 Greek special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 1 P. 0110  Spanish special edition: Chapter 13 Volume 1 P. 0247  Portuguese special edition Chapter 13 Volume 1 P. 0247

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 1 March 1971  on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the rear-view mirrors of motor vehicles  (71/127/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof;  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;  Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament 1;  Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee 2;  Whereas the technical requirements which motor vehicles must satisfy pursuant to national laws relate, inter alia, to their rear-view mirrors;  Whereas those requirements differ from one Member State to another ; whereas it is therefore necessary that all Member States adopt the same requirements either in addition to or in place of their existing requirements, in order, in particular, to allow the EEC type-approval procedure which was the subject of the Council Directive of 6 February 1970 3 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers to be applied in respect of each type of vehicle;  Whereas rules on rear-view mirrors should lay down requirements concerning not only how such mirrors should be fitted on vehicles but also their construction;  Whereas a harmonised type-approval procedure for rear-view mirrors makes it possible for each Member State to check compliance with the common construction and testing requirements and to inform the other Member States of its findings by sending a copy of the type-approval certificate completed for each type of rear-view mirror ; whereas the placing of an EEC type-approval mark on all mirrors manufactured in conformity with the approved type obviates any need for technical checks on these mirrors in the other Member States;  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:    Article 1 1. Each Member State shall approve any type of rear-view mirror which satisfies the construction and testing requirements laid down in item 2 of Annex I.  2. The Member State which has granted type approval shall take the measures required in order to verify, in so far as is necessary and if need be in co-operation with the competent authorities in the other Member States, that production models conform to the approved type. Such verification shall be limited to spot checks.   Article 2 Member States shall issue to the manufacturer, or to his authorised representative, an EEC type-approval mark which shall conform to the model shown in item 2.6 of Annex I, for each type of rear-view mirror which they approve pursuant to Article 1.  Member States shall take all appropriate measures to prevent the use of marks liable to create confusion between rear-view mirrors which have been type-approved pursuant to Article 1 and other mirrors.   Article 3 1. No Member State may prohibit the placing on the market of rear-view mirrors on grounds relating  1OJ No C 160, 18.12.1969, p. 7. 2OJ No C 48, 16.4.1969, p. 16. 3OJ No L 42, 23.2.1970, p. 1.   to their construction or method of functioning if they bear the EEC type-approval mark.  2. Nevertheless, this provision shall not prevent a Member State from taking such measures in respect of rear-view mirrors bearing the EEC type-approval mark which, by their design, do not conform to the approved prototype.  That State shall inform the other Member States and the Commission forthwith of the measures taken, specifying the reasons for its decision. The provisions of Article 5 shall also apply.  There shall be failure to conform to the approved prototype, within the meaning of paragraph 1 above, where the requirements of items 2.1, 2.2 or 2.4 of Annex I are not observed.   Article 4 The competent authorities of each Member State shall within one month send to the competent authorities of the other Member States a copy of the type-approval certificates completed for each type of rear-view mirror which they approve or refuse to approve.   Article 5 1. If the Member State which has granted EEC type-approval finds that a number of rear-view mirrors bearing the same type-approval mark do not conform to the type which it has approved, it shall take the necessary measures to ensure that production models conform to the approved type. The competent authorities of that State shall advise those of the other Member States of the measures taken, which may, where necessary, extend to withdrawal of EEC type-approval. The said authorities shall take the same measures if they are informed by the competent authorities of another Member State of such failure to conform.  2. The competent authorities of Member States shall inform each other within one month of any withdrawal of EEC type-approval, and of the reasons for such measure.  3. If the Member State which has granted EEC type-approval disputes the failure to conform notified to it, the Member States concerned shall endeavour to settle the dispute. The Commission shall be kept informed and shall, where necessary, hold appropriate consultations for the purpose of reaching a settlement.   Article 6 All decisions taken pursuant to the provisions adopted in implementation of this Directive which refuse or withdraw type-approval for a rear-view mirror or prohibit its use shall set out in detail the reasons on which they are based. A decision shall be notified to the party concerned, who shall at the same time be informed of the remedies available to him under the laws in force in the Member States and of the time limits allowed for the exercise of such remedies.   Article 7 No Member State may refuse to grant EEC type-approval or national type-approval of a vehicle on grounds relating to its rear-view mirrors if these bear the EEC type-approval mark and are fitted in accordance with the requirements laid down in item 3 of Annex I.   Article 8 For the purposes of this Directive, "vehicle" means any motor vehicle intended for use on the road, with or without bodywork, having at least four wheels and a maximum design speed exceeding 25 km/h, with the exception of vehicles which run on rails, agricultural tractors and machinery, and public works vehicles.   Article 9 The amendments necessary for adjusting the requirements of Annexes I, II and III so as to take account of technical progress shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of the Council Directive of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers.   Article 10 1. Member States shall put into force provisions containing the requirements needed in order to comply with this Directive within eighteen months of its notification and shall forthwith inform the Commission thereof.  2. Member States shall ensure that the texts of the main provisions of national law which they adopt in the field governed by this Directive are communicated to the Commission.

The average R of the radii of curvature defined in item 1.8 above must not be less than the following values:          - 1800 mm for class II rear-view mirrors,                   - 1200 mm for class I and III rear-view mirrors.                                  2.3.5. The normal coefficient of reflection of the reflecting surface must not be less than 35 %. If the mirror has two positions ("day" and "night"), the normal coefficient of reflection in the "night" position must not be less than 4 %. The rear-view mirror must not inhibit recognition of the colours of signals used in the control of road traffic.                          2.4. Tests        2.4.1. The reaction of rear-view mirrors to impact and bending on the holder fixed to the stem or support shall be tested in the manner described in items 2.4.2. and 2.4.3.               2.4.2. Impact test          2.4.2.1. Description of the test device.            2.4.2.1.1. The test device consists of a pendulum which is made up of a beam with a hammerhead terminal. A support rigidly fixed to the frame of the pendulum is used to clamp the test samples (Figure 1).    >PIC FILE= "T0010966">                      2.4.2.1.2. The face of the hammer used to make the blow must be in the shape of a spherical cup 165 mm ± 5 mm in diameter. It shall be rigid and have a 5-mm-thick covering rubber of Shore A 50 hardness.                       2.4.2.1.3. The centre of percussion of the pendulum coincides with the centre of the portion of a sphere at the end of the hammer. It is at a distance of 1 m ± 10 mm from the axis of rotation of the pendulum. The total mass of the pendulum considered at its centre of percussion is mo = 6 78 ± 50 g (the relationship between mo to the total mass m of the pendulum and the distance "1" between the centre of gravity of the pendulum and its axis of rotation is expressed as >PIC FILE= "T0010967">                                           2.4.2.2. Description of the test            2.4.2.2.1. Rear-view mirrors are clamped to the support in such a way that the latter cannot obstruct the movement of the movable parts of the rear-view mirror. The procedure used to clamp the rear-view mirror to the support and to position the arm is that recommended by the person submitting the rear-view mirrors for testing.                        2.4.2.2.2. When the rear-view mirror has a device for adjusting the distance in relation to the base, the device must be set at the minimum value.                       2.4.2.2.3. The test consists in allowing the hammer to fall from a height corresponding to a pendulum angle of 60º from the vertical so that the hammer strikes the rear-view mirror at the moment when the pendulum reaches the vertical position, the hammer's point of impact being on a line passing horizontally to the centre of percussion of the pendulum.                       2.4.2.2.4. The rear-view mirrors are subjected to impact in the following different conditions:              2.4.2.2.4.1. Interior rear-view mirrors  Test 1 - Perpendicularly to the surface of the mirror, the point of impact being such that the impact produced on the mirror passes through the point at which the holder is attached to the stem or the mounting. The impact is directed on the reflecting surface.  Test 2 - On the edge of the holder in such a way that the impact produced makes an angle of 45º with the plane of the mirror and is situated in the horizontal plane passing through the point at which the holder is attached to the stem or the mounting. The impact is directed on the reflecting surface.                           2.4.2.2.4.2. Exterior rear-view mirrors  Test 1 - Perpendicularly to the surface of the mirror, the point of impact being such that the impact produced on the mirror passes through the point at which the holder is attached to the stem or the mounting.  Test 1' - At the back of the mirror, on its stem or mounting (the hammer being at the same distance from the clamping plane as in Test 1 and the mirror being perpendicular to the trajectory of the centre of percussion).  Test 2 - On the edge of the holder in such a way that the impact produced makes an angle of 45º with the plane of the mirror and is in the horizontal plane passing through the point at which the holder is attached to the stem or the mounting. The impact is directed on the reflecting surface.                           2.4.2.2.4.3. General observations                2.4.2.2.4.3.1. The centre of the mirror is taken as the reference point when the devices tested do not have any clearly defined mounting or stem, or when the point of attachment is on the periphery of the mirror.                               2.4.2.2.4.3.2. If it is not possible to carry out the test described in item 2.4.2.2, the point of impact is moved, in the plane of symmetry of the pendulum, in such a way that the lowest point of the hammer is 40 mm from the clamping plane.                                                                                2.4.3. Bending test on the holder fixed to the stem          2.4.3.1. Description of the test  The holder is placed horizontally in a device in such a way that the stem or the mounting can be clamped securely. In the direction of the greatest dimension of the holder, the end nearest to the point of fixing on the stem is immobilised by means of a fixed stop 15 mm wide, covering the entire width of the holder.  At the other end, a stop identical to the one described above is placed on the holder so that the specified test load can be applied to it (Figure 2).   >PIC FILE= "T0010968">                   2.4.3.2. The test load is 25 kg. It is applied for one minute.                                             2.5. Interpretation of results        2.5.1. In all the tests described in item 2.4.2 the pendulum must continue to swing after impact to a point forming an angle of at least 2º with the vertical.               2.5.2. Should there be a breakage of the stems or the mounting of the rear-view mirror during the tests described in item 2.4.2 the part remaining must not project from the base by more than 1 cm. If the stem or mounting breaks off, the remaining part of the base must not form a dangerous projection.               2.5.3. The mirror must not break during the tests described in items 2.4.2 and 2.4.3. However, breakage of the mirror will be allowed if one of the following conditions is fulfilled:          2.5.3.1. The fragments of glass still adhere to the back of the holder or to a surface firmly attached to the holder, provided that an area no greater than 5 mm in width comes unstuck.                   2.5.3.2. The mirror is made of safety glass.                                              2.6. Type approval mark        2.6.1. The type approval mark shall be made up of a rectangle, within which shall be placed the letter "e" followed by the distinguishing number or letter of the country which has granted the type approval (1 for Germany, 2 for France, 3 for Italy, 4 for the Netherlands, 6 for Belgium, and L for Luxembourg). At any point in the proximity of this rectangle there shall be placed a type approval number corresponding to the number of the approval certificate completed for the prototype.               2.6.2. The type approval mark (symbol and number) shall be placed on a main part of the rear-view mirror in such a way that it is indelible and clearly visible even after the rear-view mirror has been fitted on a vehicle.   >PIC FILE= "T0010969">                                  3. REQUIREMENTS FOR FITTING TO VEHICLES      3.1. General        3.1.1. Rear-view mirrors must be fixed in such a way that they remain steady under normal driving conditions.               3.1.2. Exterior rear-view mirrors fitted on category A vehicles must be class II mirrors, those which are fitted on category B vehicles must be class III mirrors.                          3.2. Number        3.2.1. All vehicles shall be equipped with both an interior and an exterior rear-view mirror, the latter being fitted to the left side of the vehicle.               3.2.2. If the conditions laid down in item 3 75 with respect to the field of vision of the interior rear-view mirror are not satisfied, an exterior rear-view mirror must be fitted on the right side of the vehicle. In this case, an interior rear-view mirror does not have to be fitted if it would not provide any visibility towards the rear.                          3.3. Position        3.3.1. Rear-view mirrors must be so placed that the driver, when sitting on the driving seat in a normal driving position, has a clear view of the road to the rear of the vehicle.               3.3.2. Exterior rear-view mirrors shall be visible through the side windows or through the portion of the windscreen that is swept by the windscreen wiper. This provision shall not apply to exterior rear-view mirrors fitted on the right side of vehicles of the international categories M2 and M3 as defined in the Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type approval of motor vehicles and their trailers.               3.3.3. In the case of left-hand drive vehicles the prescribed exterior rear-view mirror must be fitted to the left side of the vehicle in such a way that there is an angle of not more than 55º between the vertical longitudinal median of the vehicle and the vertical plane which passes through the centre of the rear-view mirror and through the centre of the segment between the ocular points of the driver.               3.3.4. The rear-view mirror must not protrude beyond the external bodywork of the vehicle substantially more than is necessary to obtain the fields of vision laid down in item 3.5.               3.3.5. Where the bottom edge of an exterior rear-view mirror is less than 2 m above the ground when the vehicle is laden, this rear-view mirror must not project more than 0 720 m beyond the overall width of the vehicle measured without rear-view mirrors.               3.3.6. Subject to the requirements of items 3.3.4 and 3.3.5, rear-view mirrors may project beyond the permissible maximum widths of vehicles.                           3.4. Adjustment        3.4.1. The driver must be able to adjust the interior rear-view mirror from his driving position.               3.4.2. It must be possible to adjust the exterior rear-view mirror situated on the driver's side from inside the vehicle while the door is closed. The mirror may, however, be locked into position from the outside 1.               3.4.3. The requirements of item 3.4.2 do not apply to exterior rear-view mirrors which can be returned to their former position without any adjustment being necessary, after having been knocked out of alignment.                          3.5. Field of vision        3.5.1. General  The fields of vision defined below must be established using binocular vision, the observer's eyes being at the "driver's ocular points" as defined in item 1.7 above. The fields of vision shall be determined when the vehicle is empty except for one observer, and must be established through windows which have a total light transmission factor of more than 70 %.               3.5.2. Interior rear-view mirror  The field of vision must be such that the driver can see at least a 20-m-wide plane and horizontal portion of the road centred on the vertical longitudinal median of the vehicle, said portion stretching from the horizon to 60 m behind the rear of the vehicle (Figure 3).               3.5.3. Left-hand exterior rear-view mirror  The field of vision must be such that the driver can see at least a 2 750-m-wide plane and horizontal portion of the road, said portion being bounded on the right by the plane which is parallel to the vertical longitudinal median of the vehicle and passes through the leftmost point of the overall width of the vehicle, said portion stretching from the horizon to 10 m behind the ocular points of the driver (Figure 4).               3.5.4. Right-hand exterior rear-view mirror  The field of vision must be such that the driver can see at least a 3 750-m-wide plane and horizontal portion of the road, said portion being bounded on the left by the plane which is parallel to the vertical longitudinal median of the vehicle and passes through the rightmost point of the overall width of the vehicle, said portion stretching from the horizon to 30 m behind the ocular points of the driver.  In addition, the road must be visible to the driver, over a width of 0 775 m, from a point 4 m, behind the vertical plane passing through the ocular points of the driver (Figure 4).                                      1It would be desirable to lay down, at a future date, that exterior rear-view mirrors which do not have a locking system must be capable of being adjusted by the driver from his driving position inside the vehicle while the door is closed.  The procedure laid down in Article 9 will be applied with a view to incorporation of this improvement in the Directive, as soon as simple, economic methods of manufacture and fitting on vehicles have become possible as a result of technical progress.    >PIC FILE= "T0010970">      ANNEX II TYPE APPROVAL CERTIFICATE >PIC FILE= "T0010971">    ANNEX III (1) TEST PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING THE H POINT     1. Definition  The "H" point, which indicates the position in the passenger compartment of a seated occupant, is the trace, in a longitudinal vertical plane, of the theoretical axis of rotation between the leg and the torso of a human body, represented by a manikin.       2. Determination of H points      2.1. An H point shall be determined for the driver's seat.  (2.1.1.)  (2.1.2.)          2.2. For each determination of an H point the seat concerned shall be placed in the normal position for driving provided by the manufacturer, the back, if inclinable, being set up in a position close to the vertical.                  3. Description of the manikin      3.1. A three-dimensional manikin with the weight and shape of an adult male of average height shall be used. Such a manikin is depicted in Figures 1 and 2.           3.2. This manikin shall comprise:        3.2.1. two components, one simulating the back and the other the seat of the body, hinged along an axis representing the axis of rotation between the torso and the thigh. The trace of this axis on the side of the manikin is its H point;               3.2.2. two components simulating the legs and hinged in relation to the component simulating the seat;               3.2.3. two components simulating the feet and connected to the legs by hinges simulating the ankles;               3.2.4. in addition, the component simulating the seat shall be provided with a level enabling its transverse orientation to be verified.                          3.3. Weights each representing the weight of one of the components of the body shall be placed at appropriate points constituting the relevant centres of gravity, so as to bring the total weight of the manikin up to about 75 78 kgf (74 74 daN). Details of the various weights are given in the table of Figure 2.  (1)The text of Annex III is similar to that of Regulation No 14 ; in particular the breakdown into items is the same. For this reason, where an item of Regulation No 14 has no counterpart in this Directive, its number is given in Annex III in brackets as a token entry.                   4. Setting up the manikin  The three-dimensional manikin shall be set up in the following manner:      4.1. The vehicle is levelled and the seat is adjusted as prescribed in item 2.2.           4.2. The seat to be tested is covered with a piece of fabric to facilitate correct setting up of the manikin.           4.3. The manikin is placed on the seat.           4.4. The feet of the manikin are placed as follows:        4.4.1. The right foot is placed on the accelerator pedal in the position of rest and the left foot is so arranged that the level verifying the transverse orientation of the seat of the manikin is restored to the horizontal;   (4.4.2.)   (4.4.3.)                        4.5. The weights are placed on the thighs, the transverse level of the manikin's seat is restored to the horizontal, and the weights are placed on the component simulating the seat.           4.6. The manikin is moved away from the seat back by using the hinged knee bar and the back of the manikin is tilted forward. The manikin is repositioned on the seat of the vehicle by sliding the seat of the manikin rearwards until resistance is encountered, and the back of the manikin is then replaced against the seat back.           4.7. A load of about 10 72 kgf (10 daN) is applied horizontally to the manikin twice. The direction and point of application of the load are shown by a black arrow in Figure 2.           4.8. The weights on the right and left sides and then the torso weights are placed in position, the transverse level of the manikin being kept horizontal.           4.9. The manikin's transverse level being kept horizontal, the manikin's back is tilted forwards until the torso weights are above the H point, so as to eliminate any friction with the seat back.           4.10. The manikin's back is gently moved rearwards again so as to complete the setting up operation. The transverse level of the manikin should be horizontal. If it is not, repeat the process described above.                  5. Results      5.1. When the manikin has been set up as described in item 4, the H point of the seat is the H point on the manikin.           5.2. The Cartesian co-ordinates of the H point shall each be measured accurately to within 1 mm, as shall the co-ordinates of characteristic and well-defined points of the passenger compartment. The projections of these points along a longitudinal vertical plane shall then be plotted on a diagram.                     >PIC FILE= "T0010972">    >PIC FILE= "T0010973">
