Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to N-category vehicles (commercial vehicles), specifically regulating the external projections of the cab in front of the rear panel. It is mandatory for all manufacturers of commercial vehicles to ensure pedestrian safety. It does not apply to indirect vision devices, antennas, and luggage racks.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies general and special requirements for external surface parts to prevent injury to pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Parts must not have sharp outward-facing edges or shapes that increase injury risks. It sets specific radius of curvature limits for various components based on their material hardness (e.g., materials with hardness not exceeding 60HA may have smaller radii). Special requirements are detailed for components like bumpers, grilles, door handles, and wheel nuts. Additionally, it includes new requirements for surveillance mirrors and surveillance camera-monitor-recording devices, limiting their projection height and specifying minimum radii for contactable parts.
Testing methods
The standard outlines measurement methods using a 100mm diameter sphere to determine the projection height and gap dimensions of various parts. Measurements must be taken using this sphere rolling method for non-convex surfaces. Specific procedures are defined for measuring the projection height of handles, headlight visors, and the gaps within grilles to ensure compliance with the specified limits.
