Reference point Sample Clauses
A Reference Point clause establishes a specific benchmark, date, or event that serves as the basis for measuring or determining certain rights, obligations, or calculations within an agreement. For example, it may define a particular date from which interest accrues, a baseline for performance metrics, or a trigger for contractual deadlines. By clearly identifying this reference, the clause ensures all parties have a common understanding of when or how certain provisions take effect, thereby reducing ambiguity and potential disputes.
Reference point. 3.1. For the purposes of this annex, the reference point is the point at which the field strength shall be established and shall be defined as follows:
3.2. For category M, N, O vehicles according to ISO 11451-2, third edition 2005.
3.3. For category L vehicles:
3.3.1. at least 2 m horizontally from the antenna phase centre or at least 1 m vertically from the radiating elements of a transmission-line-system (TLS);
3.3.2. on the vehicle's centre line (plane of longitudinal symmetry);
3.3.3. at a height of 1.0 ± 0.05 m above the plane on which the vehicle rests or 2.0 ± 0.05 m if the minimum height of the roof of any vehicle in the model range exceeds 3.0 m,
3.3.4. either at 1.0 ± 0.2 m behind the vertical centerline of the vehicle's front wheel (point C in figure 1 of Appendix 1 to this annex) in the case of three-wheeled vehicles, or at 0.2 ± 0.2 m behind the vertical centerline of the vehicle's front wheel (point D in figure 2 of Appendix 1 to this annex) in the case of two-wheeled vehicles.
3.3.5. If it is decided to radiate the rear of the vehicle, the reference point shall be established as in paragraphs 3.3.1. to 3.
3.4. The vehicle shall then be installed facing away from the antenna and positioned as if it had been horizontally rotated 180 around its centre point, i.e. such that the distance from the antenna to the nearest part of the outer body of the vehicle remains the same. This is illustrated in figure 3 of Appendix 1 to this annex.
