Annex 2, article 3, paragraph 6
For the existing text, substitute:
"6. The sheet shall be fixed to the vehicle in strict compliance with the
conditions set forth in article 1 (à) and (b) of these Regulations. The following systems
can be used:
(a) The sheet can be secured by
(i) Metal rings fixed to the vehicles,
(ii) Eyelets let into the edge of the sheet and
(iii) A fastening passing through the rings above the sheet and visible from the outside
for its entire length.
The sheet shall overlap solid parts of the vehicle by at least 250 mm, measured
from the centre of the securing rings, unless the system of construction of the vehicle
in itself prevents all access to the load compartment.
(b) When any edge of a sheet is to be permanently secured to a vehicle, the two
surfaces shall be joined together without a break and shall be held in place by strong
devices.
(c) When a sheet locking system is used it shall in locked position join the sheet
tightly to the outside of the load compartment (as an example see sketch No. 6)."
