Division 6.1.1

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Compliance with the above requirement shall be checked by the procedure specified below, with the vehicle unladen, on a straight and level road with a surface having a good coefficient of adhesion, and with the brakes adjusted as closely as possible and with the brake load sensing device (if fitted) held in the 'laden' position throughout the test.

If the coefficient of adhesion of the test track is too high, preventing the anti-lock braking system from cycling then the test may be carried out on a surface with a lower coefficient of adhesion.
