Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The condition ε ≥ 0,75 shall be checked with the vehicle laden and unladen. The laden test on the high-adhesion surface may be omitted if the prescribed force on the control device does not achieve full cycling of the anti-lock braking system. For the unladen test, the control force may be increased up to 1 000 N if no cycling is achieved with its full force value. A higher force value than the one of the full force may be used if required to activate the anti-lock braking system. If 1 000 N is insufficient to make the system cycle, then this test may be omitted. For air braking systems, the air pressure may not be increased above the cut-out pressure for the purpose of this test.
