3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
vehicle type
a category of vehicles which do not differ in such essential respects as shape or material of external surface
3.2
external surface
the outside of the vehicle including the bonnet, the lid of luggage compartment, the doors, the wheel fenders, the roof, the light signaling device and the visible strengthening rib etc.
3.3
floor line
the line determined as follows:
Successively position round a laden vehicle a cone with a vertical axis the height of which is not defined, and with a half angle of 30° in such a way that it contacts, constantly and as low as possible, the external surface of the vehicle. The floor line is the geometric trace of these points of contact. In determining the floor line, the jacking points, exhaust pipes or wheels shall not be taken into consideration. The gaps of the wheel arches are assumed to be filled in by an imaginary surface forming a smooth continuation when establishing the floor line. Dependent upon the particular vehicle the floor line trace may occur at the bumper section extremity or at the body panel below the bumper. Where two or more points of contact occur simultaneously, the lower point of contact shall be used to determine the floor line.
3.4
radius of curvature
the radius of the arc of a circle which comes closest to the rounded form of the component under consideration
3.5
