Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Under Type-0 conditions, the service braking system shall be tested under the conditions shown in the following table

vmax ≤ 30 km/hvmax > 30 km/h
v= vmax = vmax
s (metres)≤ 0,15 v + v2/92≤ 0,15 v + v2/130
dm ≥ 3,55 m/s2 ≥ 5 m/s2
F (foot operated control)≤ 600 N≤ 600 N
F (hand operated control)≤ 400 N≤ 400 N

where:

vmax
  • maximum design speed of the vehicle

  • v
  • prescribed test speed

  • s
  • Stopping distance

  • dm
  • mean fully developed deceleration

  • F
  • force applied to the control device
