4 Requirements
Vehicles specified in this standard shall meet the corresponding requirements of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4.
4.1 Overall dimension requirements for vehicles
4.1.1 Overall dimension limits for vehicles
The overall dimension of motor vehicle, trailer and automobile train shall not be greater than the maximum limits specified in Table 1.
4.1.2 Other requirements for the overall dimension of vehicles
4.1.2.1 In the case of motor vehicle or automobile train at the full-load state, if the bottom edge of outer rearview mirror is less than 1800mm away from the ground, the unilateral overhang shall not exceed 200mm at the maximum width of motor vehicle or train . If the height from the bottom edge of outer rearview mirror to the ground is greater than or equal to 1800mm, the unilateral overhang shall not exceed the maximum width of motor vehicle or train 250mm.
4.1.2.2 When the transom window and air interchanger of motor vehicle are in opening state, it shall not exceed 300mm of the vehicle height.
