Common use of Vehicle based test Clause in Contracts

Vehicle based test. 5.1.1. Vehicle preparation The ageing of REESS shall be checked, proving that the vehicle has performed at least 300 km during seven days before the test. During this period, the vehicle shall be equipped with the traction battery submitted to the hydrogen emission test. If this cannot be demonstrated then the following procedure will be applied. 5.1.1.1. Discharges and initial charges of the REESS The procedure starts with the discharge of the REESS of the vehicle while driving on the test track at a steady speed of 70 per cent ± 5 per cent of the maximum speed of the vehicle during 30 minutes. Discharging is stopped: (a) When the vehicle is not able to run at 65 per cent of the maximum thirty minutes speed, or (b) When an indication to stop the vehicle is given to the driver by the standard on-board instrumentation, or (c) After having covered the distance of 100 km. 5.1.1.2. Initial charge of the REESS The charge is carried out: (a) With the charger; (b) In an ambient temperature between 293 K and 303 K. The procedure excludes all types of external chargers. The end of REESS charge criteria corresponds to an automatic stop given by the charger. This procedure includes all types of special charges that could be automatically or manually initiated like, for instance, the equalisation charges or the servicing charges.
