7.6.8.2.2.2. The device shall be clearly visible for any passenger in its direct vicinity. It shall be marked in red and supplemented by a safety sign.
7.6.8.2.2.3. The device shall be readily available at all times. In case of electronic devices such device shall be operational in the event of a failure of the vehicle's power supply, and its operational status shall be easily verifiable at the driver’s seat position. The device shall be designed to prevent misuse. At least one of the following mitigating measures at the manufacturer's choice shall be available. The device shall
(a) be permanently fixed adjacent to or on each emergency window; or
(b) engage a warning signal being audible or visible at the driver's seating position when the device is temporarily removed from its designated location.
7.6.8.2.2.4. The device shall be equipped with a protective cover or designed to prevent unintended operation and shall require one additional action to unlock by any person operating the device. If a protective cover is used, the device shall remain visible by passengers.
7.6.8.2.2.5. The surfaces of each emergency window may be fitted with a plastic film to enable the person to remove the window pane or panes. The plastic film shall be cut at the outer edge of the emergency window and following a pattern e.g., shown in Annex 4, Figure 32. In case of fitting a plastic film to the emergency exit, it shall be compatible with the device and shall not reduce its efficiency. In addition, the characteristics of the approved glazing shall remain unchanged.'
Renumber paragraph 7.6.8.2.2.4. as 7.6.8.2.2.5.
Annex 3, paragraph 7.6.9.5., amend to read:
'7.6.9.5. Escape hatches shall be capable of being easily opened or removed from the inside and from the outside. However, this requirement shall not be construed as precluding the possibility of locking the escape hatch for the purpose of securing the vehicle when unattended, provided that the escape hatch can always be opened or removed from the inside by the use of the normal opening or removal mechanism. In the case of a hatch made of or with toughened glass pane(s), an easy-to-operate device shall ensure that each glass pane(s) can be broken and removed within 20 sec by a single person from inside the passenger compartment. The technical service shall verify by testing the operation of the device and by measuring the time from the first action to operate the device until a free opening of the escape hatch corresponding to the required dimensions specified in paragraph 7.6.3.1.5 is achieved.
The device shall meet the following requirements.
7.6.9.5.1. The device shall be clearly visible for any passenger in its direct vicinity. It shall be marked in red and supplemented by a safety sign.
7.6.9.5.2 The device shall be readily available at all times.

7.6.9.5.2.3. The device shall be equipped with a protective cover or designed to prevent unintended operation and shall require one additional action to unlock by any person operating the device. If a protective cover is used, the device shall remain visible by passengers.
7.6.9.5.3.4. The surfaces of each escape hatch may be fitted with a plastic film to enable the person to remove the window pane or panes. The plastic film shall be cut at the outer edge of the emergency window and following a pattern as e.g. shown in Annex 4, Figure 32. In case of fitting a plastic film to the emergency exit, it shall be compatible with the device and shall not reduce its efficiency. In addition, the characteristics of the approved glazing shall remain unchanged.'
