# Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/68 of 15 October 2014 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to vehicle braking requirements for the approval of agricultural and forestry vehicles (Text with EEA relevance), Division 1: Definitions

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

For the purposes of this Annex:
1.1. ‘hydrostatic braking system’ means a braking system (either as a service and/or secondary braking system) that only uses the braking power of the hydrostatic drive;
1.2. ‘combination hydrostatic braking system’ means a braking system utilising both, the hydrostatic and friction braking effect, where, however, the braking forces are generated by a predominant braking proportion generated by the hydrostatic drive. The minimum prescribed proportion of the friction brake on the braking effect is specified in point 6.3.1.1;
1.3. ‘combination friction braking system’ means a braking system utilising both, the friction and hydrostatic braking effect, where, however, the braking forces are generated by a predominant braking proportion generated by the friction brakes. The minimum prescribed proportion of the friction brake on the braking effect is specified in point 6.3.1.2;
1.4. ‘friction braking system’ means a braking system where the braking forces are generated only by the friction brakes without taking into account of the braking effect of the hydrostatic braking system;
1.5. ‘graduated hydrostatic braking’ means the hydrostatic braking through which the driver is able to increase or decrease the vehicle speed at any time by a progressive action on its control device.
1.6. ‘hydrostatic drive control device’ which means a device, such as a lever or pedal, used to vary the vehicle speed.
1.7. ‘service brake control device’ means the control device by whose operation the prescribed service braking performance is attained;
1.8. ‘inch device’ means the device that affects the speed of the vehicle independently of the hydrostatic drive control.
