   3.4.1.

   Test report number

   The test report number consists of two parts: a base part and a suffix which identifies the issue level of the test report.

   3.4.1.1.

   The base part, consisting of a maximum of 20 characters, and suffix shall be clearly separated from each other using e.g. a dot or slash.

   3.4.1.2.

   The base part of the test report number shall only cover brakes with the same brake identifier and the same brake factor.

   3.4.2.

   Test code

   In addition to the test report number a “test code” consisting of up to eight characters (e.g. ABC123) shall indicate the test results applicable to the identifiers and the test specimen, which is described by the details given in point 3.7. of Appendix 1 to Annex VII to Regulation (EU) 2015/68.’
