the following Appendices 4 and 5 are added:
The mathematical model shall be validated only if it is comparable with the physical test conditions. To that effect, a physical test shall be conducted for the purposes of comparing the results obtained when using the mathematical model with the results of a physical test. Comparability of the test results shall be proven. A validation report shall be drafted by the manufacturer.
Any change made to the mathematical model or to the software likely to invalidate the validation report shall require a new validation in accordance with the previous paragraph.
Where the test is carried out on a part of the body of the vehicle type as referred to in point 1.1.2. or on a rigid wall as referred to in point 1.1.3., the height of the centre of the surface or adaptor shall be specified by the manufacturer in an area between the lowest edge of the aerodynamic device and equipment and the point that represents the height of no more than 2,0 m above the ground in vehicle-mounted condition on a laden vehicle with the technically permissible maximum laden mass (see figure 2).
The exact location of the centre of the surface or adaptor in the area of application of forces shall be specified by the manufacturer. Where the aerodynamic device and equipment have different degrees of stiffness in the area of application of the forces (e.g. due to reinforcements, different materials or thicknesses, etc.), the location of the centre of the surface or adaptor shall be located in the area with the highest resistance against external forces in longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
The distance Lt shall be set at 200 mm for the purpose of this assessment (see figure 1).
The rear side of the assessment zone shall be bounded by a vertical transverse plane, perpendicular to the longitudinal median plane of the motor vehicle, that is located rearward of the abovementioned most forward point by distance Lt .
The vertical transverse plane through the most forward point of the cab, taken at a height of ≤ 2 000 mm from the ground measured in unladen condition, shall be considered as regards its intersection with the horizontal plane that is located at the height of 1 000 mm. The intersecting line shall then be taken as the base envelope line to assess the vehicle cab’s rake in the given assessment zone.
