Annex I

The Annex to Directive 93/14/EEC is amended as follows:

1. (1)

   The following section 2.1.1.3 is added:

   ‘2.1.1.3.

   Brake linings shall not contain asbestos.’;

2. (2)

   Appendix 1 is amended as follows:

   1. (a)

      Sections 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 are replaced by the following:

      ‘1.1.1.

      The performance prescribed for braking devices shall be based on the stopping distance and/or the mean fully developed deceleration. The performance of a braking device shall be determined by measuring the stopping distance in relation to the initial speed of the vehicle and/or measuring the mean fully developed deceleration during the test.

      1.1.2.

      The stopping distance shall be the distance covered by the vehicle from the moment when the driver begins to actuate the control of the braking system until the moment when the vehicle stops; the initial vehicle speed, v₁, shall be the speed at the moment when the driver begins to actuate the control of the braking system; the initial speed shall not be less than 98 % of the prescribed speed for the test in question. The mean fully developed deceleration, (d_m), shall be calculated as the deceleration averaged with respect to distance over the interval v_b to v_e according to the following formula:

      X1 $d_m=\frac{v_2^b{\mathrm{–\; v}}_2^e}{\mathrm{25,92}\left(s_e{\mathrm{–\; s}}_b\right)}{\mathrm{m/s}}^2$

      Where:

      d_m

      means fully developed deceleration

      v₁

      as defined above

      v_b

      vehicle speed at 0,8 v₁ in km/h

      v_e

      vehicle speed at 0,1 v₁ in km/h

      s_b

      distance travelled between v₁ and v_b in metres

      s_e

      distance travelled between v₁ and v_e in metres

      The speed and distance shall be determined using instrumentation having an accuracy of ± 1 % at the prescribed speed for the test. The “d_m” may be determined by other methods than the measurement of speed and distance; in this case, the accuracy of the “d_m” shall be within ± 3 %.’;

   2. (b)

      In Section 1.1.3, the word ‘component’ is replaced by ‘vehicle’;

   3. (c)

      Section 1.2.1.1 is replaced by the following:

      ‘1.2.1.1.

      The limits prescribed for minimum performance are those laid down hereunder for each category of vehicle; the vehicle shall satisfy both the prescribed stopping distance and the prescribed mean fully developed deceleration for the relevant vehicle category, but it may not be necessary to measure both parameters.’;

   4. (d)

      Section 1.4.2.1 is replaced by the following:

      ‘1.4.2.1.

      The vehicle and the brake(s) to be tested must be substantially free from moisture and the brake(s) cold. A brake is deemed to be cold when the temperature measured on the disc or on the outside of the drum is below 100 °C;’.
