Division 6.2.3 Service braking system

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The limits prescribed for minimum performance, both for tests with the vehicle unladen and for tests with the vehicle laden, are those laid down in point 6.3 for each class of vehicle.

The service braking system has to meet the requirements in point 6.3.1.

When used as a service braking system,

The performance of the friction brake shall also be determined. In this type of test, the effect of the hydrostatic transmission shall be neutralised to assess the friction brake and rolling resistance.

If the hydrostatic brake cannot be disconnected for technical reasons, the proportion of the friction brake may be determined by another method, e.g.:

  1. 6.2.3.1Division 6.2.3.1
  2. 6.2.3.2Division 6.2.3.2
  3. 6.2.3.3Successive brake tests are performed
