Common requirements for interior rear view mirrors have been laid down by the Council Directive of 1 March 1971 (4) and requirements should also be drawn up for the interior fittings of the passenger compartment, the layout of the controls, the roof and backrest and rear part of the seats. Other requirements will be adopted subsequently on interior fittings and relating to the anchorages for safety belts and seats, head restraints, the protection of the driver against the steering unit and the layout of the controls.
