Equivalent procedures Clause Samples
The "Equivalent procedures" clause defines the requirement that alternative methods or processes may be used in place of those specifically prescribed, provided they achieve the same result or standard. In practice, this means that if a party wishes to use a different procedure than the one outlined in the agreement, they must demonstrate that their method is functionally comparable and meets all relevant criteria. This clause ensures flexibility in how obligations are fulfilled while maintaining the intended quality or outcome, thereby accommodating innovation or practical constraints without compromising the agreement's objectives.
Equivalent procedures. 5.1. Alternative tests may be permitted at the discretion of the Type Approval Authority provided equivalence can be demonstrated. A report shall be attached to the approval documentation describing the method used and the results obtained or the reason for not carrying out the test.
5.2. Responsibility for demonstrating the equivalence of the alternative method shall rest with the manufacturer or his agent wishing to use such a method.
Equivalent procedures. 6.1. Alternative tests may be permitted at the discretion of the Type Approval Authority provided equivalence can be demonstrated. A report shall be attached to the approval documentation describing the method used and the results obtained.
6.2. Responsibility for demonstrating the equivalence of the alternative method shall rest with the manufacturer or his agent wishing to use such a method.

Procedure for determining the "H" point and the actual torso angle for seating positions in motor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Appendix 2 - Three-dimensional reference system1 Appendix 3 - Reference data concerning seating positions1 1 The procedure is described in Annex 1 to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (RE.3) (document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.2). This annex describes test procedures to demonstrate compliance to the electrical safety requirements of paragraph 5.5. For example, megohmmeter or oscilloscope measurements are an appropriate alternative to the procedure described below for measuring isolation resistance. In this case it may be necessary to deactivate the on-board isolation resistance monitoring system. Before the vehicle impact test conducted, the high voltage bus voltage (Vb) (see figure 1) shall be measured and recorded to confirm that it is within the operating voltage of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
1. Test setup and equipment If a high voltage disconnect function is used, measurements are to be taken from both sides of the device performing the disconnect function. However, if the high voltage disconnect is integral to the RESS or the energy conversion system and the high-voltage bus of the RESS or the energy conversion system is protected according to protection IPXXB following the impact test, measurements may only be taken between the device performing the disconnect function and the electrical loads. The voltmeter used in this test shall measure DC values and have an internal resistance of at least 10 MΩ.
2. The following instructions may be used if voltage is measured. After the impact test, determine the high voltage bus voltages (Vb, V1, V2) (see figure 1). The voltage measurement shall be made not earlier than 5 seconds but not later than 60 seconds after the impact. This procedure is not applicable if the test is performed und...
Equivalent procedures. 3.1. Equivalent test procedures shall be permitted on condition that the results required in paragraph/2 above can be obtained, in particular, items of test apparatus may be oriented differently so long as the relative angles between the head restraint and the direction of impact are respected.
3.2. Responsibility for demonstrating the equivalence of a method other than that described in paragraph/1 shall rest with the person using that other method.
Equivalent procedures. 6.1. Alternative tests may be permitted at the discretion of the Approval Authority provided equivalence can be demonstrated. A report shall be attached to the approval documentation describing the method used and the results obtained.
6.2. Responsibility for demonstrating the equivalence of the alternative method shall rest with the manufacturer or his agent wishing to use such a method. Under a load of 800 ▇▇▇ producing a couple of 160mdaN in relation to the point "B", the displacement in any direction of the point "A" shall be lower than 2mm PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING THE "H" POINT AND THE ACTUAL TORSO ANGLE FOR SEATING POSITIONS IN MOTOR VEHICLES 1. PURPOSE The procedure described in this Annex is used to establish the "H" point location and the actual torso angle for one or several seating positions in a motor vehicle and to verify the relationship of measured data to design specifications given by the vehicle manufacturer. 1/
