The Ministry of Transport is drafting a Circular promulgating National Technical Regulations on mirrors used for automobiles in vehicle inspection.
The new draft has many noteworthy points. Regarding the Camera-Monitor System (CMS), it is defined as a system of equipment used to observe the rear, side or front of the vehicle within the observation range of this standard by combining the camera-monitor method, defined as follows:
A camera is a device that records images of the outside world and then converts this image into a signal (e.g. a video signal).
A monitor is a device that converts signals into images that are displayed in the visible spectrum. The term Camera-Monitor (CMS) in Standard 33:2019/BGTVT is replaced by the term Camera-Monitor System (CMS).
Regarding mirror type, rearview mirrors are considered to be of the same type if they have the same brand, manufacturer, manufacturing address and there is no difference in the following main technical characteristics, the design of the mirror assembly including the details associated with the vehicle if any. Mirror type, mirror shape, size and radius of curvature of the reflecting surface.
Camera-monitor system type (Camera-monitor system type) modified camera-monitor systems are considered to be of the same type if they have the same brand, manufacturer, production address and there is no difference in the following main technical characteristics:
