The switch shall break the circuits within 10 seconds after activation of the control device.

The switch shall have a casing with protection degree IP 65 in accordance with IEC Standard 60529.

The cable connections on the switch shall have protection degree IP 54 in accordance with IEC 60529.
However, this does not apply if these connections are contained in a housing which may be the battery
box. In this case it is sufficient to insulate the connections against short circuits, for example with a
rubber cap.

Permanently energized circuits

(a) Those parts of the electrical installation including the leads which shall remain energized
when the battery master switch is open, shall be suitable for use in hazardous areas. Such
equipment shall meet the general requirements of IEC 60079, parts 0 and 143 and the
additional requirements applicable from IEC 60079, parts 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 11, 15 or 18;
(b) For the application of IEC 60079 part 143, the following classification shall be used:
Permanently energized electrical equipment including the leads which is not subject to
9.2.2.4 and 9.2.2.8 shall meet the requirements for Zone 1 for electrical equipment in general
or meet the requirements for Zone 2 for electrical equipment situated in the driver's cab. The
requirements for explosion group IIC, temperature class T6 shall be met.
However, for permanently energized electrical equipment installed in an environment where
the temperature caused by non-electrical equipment situated in that environment exceeds
the T6 temperature limit, the temperature classification of the permanently energized
electrical equipment shall be at least that of the T4 temperature class.
(c) The supply leads for permanently energised equipment shall either comply with the
provisions of IEC 60079, part 7 ("Increased safety") and be protected by a fuse or automatic
circuit breaker placed as close to the source of power as practicable or, in the case of
"intrinsically safe equipment", they shall be protected by a safety barrier placed as close to
the source of power as practicable.

Bypass connections to the battery master switch for electrical equipment which must remain energized
when the battery master switch is open shall be protected against overheating by suitable means, such
as a fuse, a circuit breaker or a safety barrier (current limiter).
 
3 The requirements of IEC 60079 part 14 do not take precedence over the requirement of this Part.

Braking equipment

(Deleted)

Fuel tanks and cylinders

The fuel tanks and cylinders supplying the engine of the vehicle shall meet the following
requirements:
(a) In the event of any leakage under normal conditions of carriage, the liquid fuel or the liquid
phase of a gaseous fuel shall drain to the ground and not come into contact with the load or
hot parts of the vehicle;
(b) Fuel tanks for liquid fuels shall meet the requirements of ECE Regulation No. 345; fuel tanks
containing petrol shall be equipped with an effective flame trap at the filler opening or with a
closure enabling the opening to be kept hermetically sealed. Fuel tanks and cylinders for LNG
and for CNG respectively shall meet the relevant requirements of ECE Regulation No. 1106.
Fuel tanks for LPG shall meet the relevant requirements of ECE Regulation No. 677.
(c) The discharge opening(s) of pressure relief devices and/or pressure relief valves of fuel tanks
containing gaseous fuels shall be directed away from air intakes, fuel tanks, the load or hot
parts of the vehicle and shall not impinge on enclosed areas, other vehicles, exterior-mounted
systems with air intake (i.e. air-conditioning systems), engine intakes, or engine exhaust. Pipes
of the fuel system shall not be fixed on the shell containing the load.
