  "text": "In the case of mechanical brakes, the following shall be determined:\n7.3.1. Reduction ratio ig (see Figure 4 of Appendix 1);\n7.3.2. Force P* for braking torque M*;\n7.3.3. Torque M* as a function of the force P* applied to the control lever in mechanical-transmission systems.\nThe rotational speed of the braking surfaces shall correspond to an initial vehicle speed of 30 km/h in the case of Class C1 vehicle, 40 km/h in the case of Class C2 vehicle, 60 km/h in the case of Class C3 vehicle, when the towed vehicle moves forward and 6 km/h when the towed vehicle moves rearward. The following shall be derived from the curve obtained from these measurements (see Figure 6 of Appendix 1):\n7.3.3.1. The brake-retraction force Po and the characteristic value ρ when the trailer moves forward;\n7.3.3.2. The brake-retraction force Por and the characteristic value ρr when the towed vehicle moves rearward;\n7.3.3.3. Maximum braking torque Mr up to the maximum permissible travel sr when the towed vehicle moves rearward (see Figure 6 of Appendix 1);\n7.3.3.4. Maximum permissible travel at the brake control lever when the towed vehicle moves rearward (see Figure 6 of Appendix 1).",
