A Exemption permitted where special purposes make it impossible to fully comply. The manufacturer shall demonstrate this to the satisfaction of the type-approval authority that the vehicle cannot meet the requirements due to its special purpose.

B Application limited to doors giving access to the seats designated for normal use when the vehicle is traveling on the road, and where the distance between the R-point of the seat and the average plane of the door surface, measured perpendicular to the longitudinal medium plane of the vehicle, does not exceed 500 mm.

C: Application limited to that part of the vehicle in front of the rearmost seat designated for normal use when the vehicle is travelling on the road and also limited to the head impact zone as defined in Directive 74/60/EEC.

F: Modification to the routing and length of the refuelling duct and re-positioning of the tank inboard is permissible.

G: Requirements according to the category of the base/incomplete vehicle (the chassis of which was used to build the special purpose vehicle). In the case of incomplete/completed vehicles, it is acceptable that the requirements for vehicles of the corresponding Category N (based on maximum mass) are satisfied.

H: Modification of exhaust system length after the last silencer not exceeding 2 m is permissible without any further test.

J. For all window glazing other than driver's cab glazing (windshield and side glasses), the material may be either of safety glass or rigid plastic glazing.

N: Provided that all mandatory lighting devices are installed and that the geometric visibility is not affected. O: The vehicle shall be fitted with an adequate system in the front.

Q: Modification of exhaust system length after the last silencer not exceeding 2 m is permissible without any further test. An EC type-approval issued to the most representative base vehicle remains valid irrespective of change in the reference weight.

R: Provided that the registration plates of all member states can be mounted and remain visible.

S: The light transmission factor is at least 60%, also the 'A' pillar obstruction angle is not more than 10°.

T: Test to be performed only with the complete/completed vehicle. The vehicle can be tested according to Directive

70/157/EEC as last amended by 99/101/EC. Concerning point 5.2.2.1 of Annex I to Directive 70/157/EEC the following limit values are applicable:
