For the purposes of frontal protection systems to be type-approved as separate technical units, any reference to vehicle may be interpreted as referring to the frame on which the system is mounted for testing and which is intended to represent the front end outer dimensions of the particular vehicle type for which the system is being type-approved;

It is necessary to control the use of frontal protection systems and to establish the test, construction and installation requirements to be complied with by any frontal protection system either supplied as original equipment fitted to a vehicle or placed on the market as a separate technical unit.
