Common use of Interior arrangements Clause in Contracts

Interior arrangements. 5.7.1. Access to service doors (see Annex 3, figure 1) 5.7.1.1. The free space extending inwards into the vehicle from the side wall in which the door is mounted shall permit the free passage of a vertical rectangular panel 10 cm thick, 40 cm wide and 70 cm in height above the floor, having a second panel 55 cm wide superimposed symmetrically above it; the height of the second panel being as prescribed for the relevant class of vehicle. The dual panel shall be maintained parallel with the door aperture as it is moved from the starting position, where the plane of the face nearest to the interior of the vehicle is tangential to the outermost edge of the aperture, to the position where it touches the first step, after which it shall be kept at right angles to the probable direction of motion of a person using the entrance. 5.7.1.2. For vehicles of Class I, the height of the upper rectangular panel shall be 110 cm. For Class II vehicles, the height shall be 95 cm and for Class III vehicles, it shall be 85 cm. As an alternative, a trapezoidal section, having a height of 50 cm, forming the transition between the width of the upper and the lower panel, may be used. In this case, the total height of the rectangular section and this trapezoidal section of the upper panel shall be 110cm for all classes of vehicles. 5.7.1.3. When the centre line of this dual panel has traversed a distance of 30 cm from its starting position and the dual panel is touching the step surface it shall be retained in that position. 5.7.1.4. The cylindrical figure (see Annex 3, figure 3) used for testing the gangway clearance shall then be moved starting from the gangway, in the probable direction of motion of a person leaving the vehicle, until its centre line has reached the vertical plane which contains the top edge of the uppermost step, or until a plane tangential to the upper cylinder touches the dual panel, whichever occurs first, and retained in that position (see Annex 3, figure 9). 5.7.1.5. Between the cylindrical figure, at the position set out in paragraph 5.7.1.4. and the dual panel, at the position set out in paragraph 5.7.1.3., there shall be a free space whose upper and lower limits are shown in Annex 3, figure 9. This free space shall permit the free passage of a vertical panel whose form and dimensions are the same as the cylindrical form (paragraph 5.7.5.1.), central section and a thickness of no more than 2 cm. This panel shall be moved, from the cylindrical form tangential position, until its external side is in contact with the dual panel interior side, touching the plane or planes defined by the step upper edges, in the probable direction of motion of a person using the entrance (see Annex 3, figure 9). 5.7.1.6. The free passage clearance for this figure shall not include any space extending to 30 cm in front of any uncompressed seat cushion and to the height of the top of the seat cushion. 5.7.1.7. In the case of a folding seat, this space shall be determined with the seat in the position of use. 5.7.1.8. However, a folding seat for use by the crew may obstruct the access passage to a service door when in the position of use provided that: 5.7.1.8.1. it is clearly indicated, both in the vehicle itself and on the communication form (see Annex 1), that the seat is for the use of crew only, 5.7.1.8.2. when the seat is not in use it folds automatically as necessary to enable the requirements of paragraphs 5.7.1.1. or 5.7.1.2. and 5.7.1.3., 5.7.1.4. and 5.7.1.5. to be met; 5.7.1.8.3. the door is not considered to be a mandatory exit for the purpose of paragraph 5.6.1.5., 5.7.1.8.4. the seat is fitted with a retractable safety-belt, and 5.7.1.8.5. when the seat is in the position of use, and when it is in the folded position, no part of it shall be forward of a vertical plane passing through the centre of the seating surface of the driver's seat in its rearmost position and through the centre of the exterior rear-view mirror mounted on the opposite side of the vehicle. 5.7.1.9. The maximum slope of the floor in the access passage shall not exceed 5 per cent when the unladen vehicle is standing on a smooth and horizontal surface in its normal condition of travel (in particular: any kneeling device shall not be engaged). 5.7.1.10. Gangways and access passages shall be covered with an anti-slip material. 5.7.2. Access to emergency doors (see Annex 3, figure 2) 5.7.2.1. The free space between the gangway and the emergency door aperture shall permit the free passage of a vertical cylinder 30 cm in diameter and 70 cm high from the floor and supporting a second vertical cylinder 55 cm in diameter, the aggregate height of the assembly being 140 cm. 5.7.2.2. The base of the first cylinder shall be within the projection of the second cylinder. 5.7.2.3. Where folding seats are installed alongside this passage, the free space for the cylinder shall be required to be determined when the seat is in the opened position.

Interior arrangements. 5.7.1. Access to service doors (see Annex annex 3, figure 1) 5.7.1.1. The free space extending inwards into the vehicle from the side wall in which the door is mounted shall permit the free passage of a vertical rectangular panel 10 cm thick, 40 cm wide and 70 cm in height above the floor, having a second panel 55 cm wide superimposed symmetrically above it; the height of the second panel being as prescribed for the relevant class of vehicle.

When the centre line of this dual panel has traversed a distance of 30 cm from its starting position and the dual panel is touching the step surface it shall be retained in that position. 5.7.1.4.

The free space between the gangway and the emergency door aperture shall permit the free passage of a vertical cylinder 30 cm in diameter and 70 cm high from the floor and supporting a second vertical cylinder 55 cm in diameter, the aggregate height of the assembly being 140 cm. 5.7.2.2.
