However, the test point in each third shall be selected such that the required kinetic energy of impact, determined in point 4.8, exceeds 200 J, if such a point is available. The tests shall be performed to different types of structure, where they vary throughout the area to be assessed. The selected test points shall be a minimum of 150 mm apart, and a minimum of 75 mm inside the defined corner reference points. These minimum distances are to be set with a flexible tape held tautly along the outer surface of the vehicle. The positions tested by the laboratories shall be indicated in the test report.",
