Additional Protection. Cables located to the rear of the driver's cab and on trailers shall be additionally protected to minimize any unintended ignition or short-circuit in the event of an impact or deformation. The additional protection shall be suitable for the conditions during normal use of the vehicle. The additional protection is complied with if multicore cables in conformity with ISO 14572:2011 are used or one of the examples in Figures 1 to 4 below or another configuration that offers equally effective protection is used. Cables of wheel speed sensors do not need additional protection. EX/II vehicles being one stage-built panel vans where the wiring behind the driver's cab is protected by the body are deemed to comply with this requirement.
