1. DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this Directive:

After item 1.14 the following new items 1.15, 1.16 and 1.17 shall be added:

1.15.Hydraulic braking device with stored energy Hydraulic braking device with stored energy means a braking system where energy is supplied by a hydraulic fluid under pressure, stored in one or more accumulators fed from one or more pressure pumps each fitted with a means of limiting the pressure to a maximum value. This value shall be specified by the manufacturer.

1.16.Category O3 and O4 trailer types 1.16.1.Semi-trailer Semi-trailer means a towed vehicle in which the axle(s) is (are) positioned behind the centre of gravity of the vehicle (when uniformly loaded) and which is equipped with a connecting device permitting horizontal and vertical forces to be transmitted to the drawing vehicle.

1.16.2.Full trailer Full trailer means a towed vehicle having at least two axles, and equipped with a towing device which can move vertically (in relation to the trailer) and controls the direction of the front axle(s), but which transmits no significant static load to the drawing vehicle.

1.16.3.Centre-axle trailer Centre-axle trailer means a towed vehicle equipped with a towing device which cannot move vertically (in relation to the trailer), and in which the axle(s) is (are) positioned close to the centre of gravity of the vehicle (when uniformly loaded) such that only a small static vertical load, not exceeding 10 % of the maximum mass of the trailer or 1 000 kg (whichever is the lesser) is transmitted to the drawing vehicle.

The maximum mass to be taken into consideration when classifying a centre-axle trailer shall be the mass transmitted to the ground by the axle(s) of the centre-axle trailer when coupled to the drawing vehicle and laden with a maximum load.

1.17.Retarder(1) Retarder means an additional braking system having the capability to provide and to maintain a braking effect over a long period of time without a significant reduction in performance. The term retarder covers the complete system including the control device.

1.17.1.Independent retarder Independent retarder means a retarder whose control device is separate from that of the service and other braking systems.

1.17.2.Integrated retarder(2) Integrated retarder means a retarder whose control device is integrated with that of the service braking system in such a way that both retarder and service braking systems are applied simultaneously or suitably phased by operation of the combined control device.

1.17.3.Combined retarder Combined retarder means an integrated retarder which in addition has a cut-out device, which allows the combined control to apply the service braking system alone.

After item 2.1.2.3 the following new item 2.1.3 shall be added:

2.1.3.Pneumatic connections between motor vehicles and trailers 2.1.3.1.In the case of a braking device operated by compressed air, the pneumatic link with the trailer must be of the type with two or more lines. However, in all cases, all the requirements of this Directive must be satisfied by the use of only two lines. Shut-off devices which are not automatically actuated shall not be permitted. In the case of articulated vehicle combinations, the flexible hoses shall be a part of the drawing vehicle. In all other cases, the flexible hoses shall be a part of the trailer.

Item 2.2.1.2.1 shall read:

2.2.1.2.1.there must be at least two controls, independent of each other and readily accessible to the driver from his normal driving position. For all categories of vehicles, except M2 and M3, every brake control (excluding a retarder control) shall be designed such that it returns to the fully-off position when released. This requirement shall not apply to a parking brake control (or that part of a combined control) when it is mechanically locked in an applied position;.

Item 2.2.1.2.7 shall read:

2.2.1.2.7.certain parts, such as the pedal and its bearing, the master cylinder and its piston(s) (hydraulic systems), the control valve (hydraulic and/or pneumatic systems), the linkage between the pedal and the master cylinder or the control valve, the brake cylinders and their pistons (hydraulic and/or pneumatic systems), and the lever-and-cam assemblies of brakes, shall not be regarded as liable to breakage if they are amply dimensioned, are readily accessible for maintenance, and exhibit safety features at least equal to those prescribed for other essential components (such as the steering linkage) of the vehicle. Where the failure of any such part would make it impossible to brake the vehicle with a performance at least equal to that prescribed for the secondary braking, that part must be made of metal or of a material with equivalent characteristics and must not be subject to significant distortion in the normal operation of the braking devices.

Item 2.2.1.4.2 shall read:

2.2.1.4.2.these wheels must be so selected that the residual performance of the service braking device satisfies the requirements laid down in item 2.1.4 of Annex II;.

Item 2.2.1.5 shall read:

2.2.1.5.Where use is made of energy other than the muscular energy of the driver, there need not be more than one source of such other energy (hydraulic pump, air compressor, etc.), but the means by which the device constituting that source is driven must be as safe as practicable.

After item 2.2.1.5 the following new items 2.2.1.5.1, 2.2.1.5.2 and 2.2.1.5.3 shall be added:

2.2.1.5.1.In the event of failure in any part of the transmission of a vehicles braking devices, the supply to the part not affected by the failure must continue to be ensured where this is required for the purpose of halting the vehicle with the degree of effectiveness prescribed for residual and/or for secondary braking. This condition must be met by means of devices which can be easily actuated when the vehicle is stationary, or by automatic means.

2.2.1.5.2.In addition, storage devices located down-circuit of this device must be such that in the event of a failure in the energy supply, after four full-stroke actuations of the service brake control under the conditions prescribed in item 1.2 of Annex IV it is still possible to halt the vehicle at the fifth application with the degree of effectiveness prescribed for secondary braking.

2.2.1.5.3.However, for hydraulic braking devices with stored energy, these provisions can be considered to be met, provided that the requirements of item 1.2.2 of Annex IV, section C, are satisfied.

Item 2.2.1.11 shall read:

2.2.1.11.Wear on the brakes must be easily compensated by means of a system of manual or automatic adjustment. In addition, the control and the components of the transmission and of the brakes must possess a reserve of travel and, if necessary, suitable means of compensation such that, when the brakes become heated or when the brake linings have reached a certain degree of wear, effective braking is ensured without immediate adjustment being necessary.

Item 2.2.1.12.2 shall read:

2.2.1.12.2.the failure of a part of a hydraulic transmission system shall be signalled to the driver by a device comprising a red tell-tale lamp lighting up not later than on actuation of the control and remaining lit as long as the failure persists and the ignition (start) switch is in the on (run) position. However a device comprising a red tell-tale lamp lighting up when the level of the fluid in its reservoirs falls below the value specified by the manufacturer is admissible. The tell-tale lamp shall be visible even by daylight; the satisfactory condition of the lamp must be easily verifiable by the driver from the drivers seat. The failure of a component of the device shall not entail total loss of effectiveness of the braking device in question.

After item 2.2.1.13 the following new items 2.2.1.13.1 and 2.2.1.13.2 shall be added:

2.2.1.13.1.However, in the case of vehicles which are only considered to comply with the requirements of item 2.2.1.5.1 by virtue of meeting the requirements of item 1.2.2 of Annex IV, section C, the alarm device shall consist of an acoustic signal in addition to an optical signal. These devices need not operate simultaneously, provided that each of them meets the above requirements and the acoustic signal is not actuated before the optical signal.

2.2.1.13.2.This acoustic device may be rendered inoperative while the handbrake is applied and/or, at the choice of the manufacturer, in the case of automatic transmission the selector is in the park position.

Item 2.2.1.14 shall read:

2.2.1.14.Without prejudice to the requirements of item 2.1.2.3, where the use of an auxiliary energy source is essential for the operation of a braking device, the energy reserve must be such as to ensure that, should the engine stop, or in the event of a failure of the means by which the energy source is driven, the braking performance remains sufficient to bring the vehicle to a halt in the prescribed conditions. In addition, if the muscular energy applied by the driver to the parking brake device is reinforced by some aid, the actuation of the parking braking must be ensured in the event of failure of that aid, if necessary a reserve of energy independent of that normally supplying such aid. This reserve of energy may be that indended for the service braking. The expression actuation also covers the action of releasing.

The former item 2.2.1.17 shall be deleted and the subsequent paragraphs shall be renumbered.

After item 2.2.1.18.3 (new numbering) the following new item 2.2.1.18.4 shall be added:

2.2.1.18.4.in the case of a two-line air supply system, the requirement in item 2.2.1.18.3 above shall be considered to be met if the following conditions are fulfilled:

2.2.1.18.4.1.when the service brake control of the drawing vehicle is fully actuated, the pressure in the supply line must fall to 1,5 bar within the following two seconds;

2.2.1.18.4.2.when the supply line is evacuated at the rate of at least 1 bars the automatic braking of the trailer must operate when the pressure in the supply line falls to 2 bar.

2.2.1.20.In the case of a motor vehicle equipped to draw a trailer with electric service brakes, the following requirements shall be met:

2.2.1.20.1.the power supply (generator and battery) of the motor vehicle shall have a sufficient capacity to provide the current for an electric braking system. With the engine running at the idling speed recommended by the manufacturer and all electric devices supplied by the manufacturer as standard equipment of the vehicle switched on, the voltage in the electrical lines shall at maximum current consumption of the electric braking system (15 A) not fall below the value of 9,6 V measured at the connection. The electrical lines shall not be capable of short-circuiting even when overloaded;

2.2.1.20.2.in the event of a failure of the drawing vehicles service braking device, where that device consists of at least two independent units, the unit or units not affected by the failure shall be capable of partially or fully actuating the brakes of the trailer;

2.2.1.20.3.the use of the stop-light switch and circuit for actuating the electric braking system is permissible only if the actuating line is connected in parallel with the stop-light and the existing stop-light switch and circuit are capable of taking the extra load.

After item 2.2.1.20 (new numbering) the following new item 2.2.1.21 shall be added:

2.2.1.21.In the case of a pneumatic service braking device comprising two or more independent sections, any leakage between those sections at or downstream of the control shall be continuously vented to atmosphere.

Item 2.2.2.2, shall read:

2.2.2.2.Every trailer of category O2 must be fitted with a service braking device either of the continuous or semi-continuous type or of the inertia (overrun) type.

Item 2.2.2.8 shall read:

2.2.2.8.Wear on the brakes must be easily compensated by a system of manual or automatic adjustment. In addition, the control and the components of the transmission and of the brakes must possess a reserve of travel and if necessary, suitable means of compensation such that, when the brakes become heated or when the brake linings have reached a certain degree of wear, effective braking is ensured without immediate adjustment being necessary.

After item 2.2.2.11 the following new item 2.2.2.12 shall be added:

2.2.2.12.Trailers of categories O3 and O4 fitted with a two-line air supply system shall satisfy the conditions specified in item 2.2.1.18.4 above.

ANNEX II: BRAKING TESTS AND PERFORMANCE OF BRAKING DEVICES Item 1.2.1.2.1, add at the end:

in the case of tractive units for semi-trailers, the load may be re-positioned approximately half-way between the kingpin position resulting from the above loading conditions and the centreline of the rear axle(s);.

Item 1.2.1.2.2 shall read:

1.2.1.2.2.every text must be repeated on the unladen vehicle. In the cae of a motor vehicle there may be, in addition to the driver, a second person on the front seat who is responsible for noting the results of the test. In the case of a motor vehicle designed to draw a semi-trailer, the unladen tests will be conducted with the vehicle in its solo condition, including a mass representing the fifth wheel. It will also include a mass representing a spare wheel, if this is included in the standard specification of the vehicle. In the case of a vehicle presented as a bare chassis-cab, a supplementary load may be added to simulate the mass of the body, not exceeding the minimum mass declared by the manufacturer in Annex IX;.

Item 1.2.3.1 shall read:

1.2.3.1.Apart from the test prescribed in item 1.2.2, additional tests shall be carried out at various speeds with the engine connected, the lowest being equal to 30 % of the maximum speed of the vehicle and the highest being equal to 80 % of that speed. The maximum practical performance figures shall be measured and the behaviour of the vehicle shall be recorded in the test report. Tractive units for semi-trailers, artificially loaded to simulate the effects of a lade semi-trailer, shall not be tested beyond 80 km/h.

After item 1.2.3.1 the following new item 1.2.4 shall be added:

1.2.4.Type O test for vehicles of category O equipped with compressed air brakes 1.2.4.1.The braking performance of the trailer can be calculated either from the braking rate of the drawing vehicle plus the trailer and the measured thrust on the coupling or, in certain cases, from the braking rate of the drawing vehicle plus the trailer with only the trailer being braked. The engine of the drawing vehicle must be disconnected during the braking test. In the case where only the trailer is braked, to take account of the extra mass being retarded, the performance will be taken to be the mean fully developed deceleration.

1.2.4.2.With the exception of cases according to items 1.2.4.3 and 1.2.4.4, it is necessary for the determination of the braking rate of the trailer to measure the braking rate of the drawing vehicle plus the trailer and the thrust on the coupling. The drawing vehicle must meet the requirements laid down in the Appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II with regard to the relation between the ratio TM/PM and the pressure pm. The braking rate of the trailer is calculated according to the following formula:

zR=zR+M + PRD where:

zR=braking rate of the trailer,

zR+M=braking rate of the drawing vehicle plus the trailer,

D=thrust on the coupling (tractice force D = > 0) (compressive force D = < 0).

1.2.4.3.If a trailer has a continuous or semi-continuous braking device where the pressure in the brake actuators does not change during braking despite the dynamic axle load shifting, and in the case of semi-trailers, the trailer alone may be braked. The braking rate of the trailer is calculated according to the following formule:

zR=(zR+M R) 7 PM + PRPR + R where:

R=rolling resistance value = 0,01.

1.2.4.4.Alternatively, the evaluation of the braking rate of the trailer may be done by braking the trailer alone. In this case the pressure used shall be the same as that measured in the brake actuators during the braking of the combination.

Item 1.3.3.1 shall read:

1.3.3.1.At the end of the Type I test (test described in item 1.3.1 or test described in item 1.3.2 of this Annex) the residual performance of the service braking device shall be measured under the same conditions (and in particular at a constant control force no greater than the mean force actually used) as for the Type O test with the engine disconnected (the temperature conditions may be different). For motor vehicles, this residual performance must not be less than 80 % of that prescribed for the category in question nor less than 60 % of the figure recorded in the Type O test with the engine disconnected. However in the case of trailers, the residual brake force at the periphery of the wheels when tested at 40 km/h must not be less than 36 % of the force corresponding to the maximum mass borne by the wheels when the vehicle is stationary, nor less than 60 % of the figure recorded in the Type O test at the same speed.

After item 1.3.3.1 the following new item 1.3.3.2 shall be added:

1.3.3.2.In the case of a motor vehicle which cannot comply with the requirements of item 1.3.3.1 above, a further hot performance test may be carried out using a control force not exceeding that specified in item 2.1.1.1 of this Annex. The results of both tests shall be entered in the report.

Item 1.4.3 shall read:

1.4.3.At the end of the test, the residual performance of the service braking device shall be measured in the same conditions as for the Type O test with the engine disconnected (the temperature conditions, of course, are different). For motor vehicles, this residual performance must give a stopping distance not exceeding the following values, using a control force not exceeding 700 N:

category M3 0,15 V + 1,33 V²130 (the second term corresponding to a mean braking deceleration of 3,75 m/s²);

category N3 0,15 V + 1,33 V²115 (the second term corresponding to a mean braking deceleration of 3,3 m/s²).

However, in the case of trailers the residual brake force at the periphery of the wheels when tested at 40 km/h must not be less than 33 % of the force corresponding to the maximum mass borne by the wheels when the vehicle is stationary.

Item 1.5.1, add at the end:

An integrated retarder may be used, provided that it is suitably phased such that the service brakes are not applied; this may be verified by checking that these brakes remain cold, as defined in item 1.2.1.1 of this Annex.

Item 2.1.1.1.1 - amend the table as follows:

category M2, M3 0,15 V + 130 2 V² (the second term corresponding to a mean braking deceleration of 2,5 m/s²);

category N 0,15 V + 115 2 V² (the second term corresponding to a mean braking deceleration of 2,2 m/s²).

Item 2.1.2.4 shall read:

2.1.2.4.The performance of the secondary braking device shall be checked by the Type O test with the engine disconnected from the following initial speeds:

M1 = 80 km/h M2 = 60 km/h M3 = 60 km/h;

N1 = 70 km/h N2 = 50 km/h N3 = 40 km/h.

Item 2.1.3.6 shall read (remainder unchanged):

2.1.3.6.To check compliance with the requirements of Annex I, item 2.2.1.2.4, a Type O test must be carried out with the engine disconnected at the initial speed specified in item 2.1.2.4 for the relevant vehicle category. The mean fully developed ....

After item 2.1.3.6 the following new item 2.1.4 shall be added:

2.1.4.Residual service braking after transmission failure:

2.1.4.1.The residual performance of the service braking device, in the event of failure in a part of its transmission, must not be greater than the following stopping distances (or less than the corresponding mean deceleration) using a force applied to the control not exceeding 700 N, when checked by the Type O test with the engine disconnected from the following initial speeds for the relevent vehicle category:

>TABLE>

Item 2.2.1.2.1 shall read:

2.2.1.2.1.Where the service braking device is of the continuous or semi-continuous type, then the sum of the forces exerted at the periphery of the braked wheels must be equal to not less than X % of the force corresponding to the maximum mass borne by the wheels when the vehicle is stationary, X having the following values:

full trailer, laden and unladen50, semi-trailer, laden and unladen45, centre-axle trailer, laden and unladen50. Where the trailer is fitted with compressed-air brakes, the pressure in the control line and in the supply line must not exceed 6,5 bar(1) during the brake test. The test speed is 60 km/h. A supplementary test at 40 km/h must be carried out with the laden vehicle for comparison with the Type I test result.

After item 2.3.2 the following new item 2.3.3 shall be added:

2.3.3.in the case of vehicles fitted with hydraulic braking devices, the requirements of item 2.3.1 are considered to be satisfied if, in an emergency manoeuvre, the deceleration of the vehicle, or the pressure at the least favourable brake cylinder, reaches a level corresponding to the prescribed performance within 0,6 seconds.

ANNEX V: SPRING BRAKES Item 1 shall read:

1.DEFINITIONS 1.1.Spring brakes are braking devices for which the energy required for braking is supplied by one or more springs acting as an energy accumulator.

1.2.Spring compression chamber means the chamber where the pressure variation that induces the compression of the spring is actually produced.

1.3.If the compression of the springs is obtained by means of a vacuum device, pressure shall mean negative pressure everywhere in this Annex.

Item 2.1 shall read:

2.1.A spring brake shall not be used as a service brake. However, in the event of a failure in a part of the transmission of the service brake, a spring brake may be used to achieve the residual performance prescribed in item 2.2.1.4 of Annex I, provided that the driver can graduate this action. In the case of motor vehicles, with the exception of drawing vehicles for semi-trailers meeting the requirements specified in item 2.2.1.4.3 of Annex I, the spring brake shall not be the sole source of residual braking.

Vacuum spring brakes shall not be used for trailers.

Item 2.2 shall read:

2.2.A small variation in any of the pressure limits which may occur in the spring compression chamber feed circuit must not cause a significant variation in the braking force.

Item 2.3 shall read:

2.3.The feed circuit to the spring compression chamber must either include an own energy reserve or must be fed from at least two independent energy reserves. The trailer supply line may be branched from this feed line under the condition that a pressure drop in the trailer supply line must not be able to apply the spring brake actuators. Auxiliary equipment may only draw its energy from the feed line for the spring brake actuators under the condition that its operation, even in the event of damage to the energy source, cannot cause the energy reserve for the spring brake actuators to fall below a level from which one release of the spring brake actuators is possible.

This item does not apply to trailers.

Item 2.5 shall read:

2.5.In the case of motor vehicles, the pressure in the spring compression chamber beyond which the springs begin to actuate the brakes, the latter being adjusted as closely as possible, must not be greater than 80 % of the minimum level of the normal available pressure. In the case of trailers, the pressure in the spring compression chamber beyond which the springs begin to actuate the brakes must not be greater than that obtained after four full-stroke actuations of the service brake in accordance with Annex IV, item 1.3. The initial pressure is fixed at 6,5 bar.

Item 2.6 shall read:

2.6.When the pressure in the line feeding energy to the spring compression chamber - excluding lines of an auxiliary release device using a fluid under pressure - falls to the level at which the brake parts begin to move, an optical or audible warning device must be actuated. Provided this requirement is met, the warning device may be that specified in item 2.2.1.13 of Annex I. This provision does not apply to trailers.

Item 3.1 shall read:

3.1.A spring braking system must be so designed that, in the event of a failure in that system, it is still possible to release the brakes. This may be achieved by the use of an auxiliary release device (pneumatic, mechanical, etc.). Auxiliary release devices using an energy reserve for releasing, must draw their energy from an energy reserve which is independent from the energy reserve normally used for the spring braking system.

The pneumatic or hydraulic fluid in such an auxiliary release device may act on the same piston surface in the spring compression chamber, which is used for the normal spring braking system, under the condition that the auxiliary release device uses a separate line. The junction of this line with the normal line connecting the control device with the spring brake actuators, shall be at each spring brake actuator immediately before the port to the spring compression chamber, if not integrated in the body of the actuator. This junction shall include a device which prevents an influence of one line on the other. The requirements of item 2.2.1.6 of Annex I also apply to this device.

ANNEX X: REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO TESTS FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ANTI-LOCK DEVICES 1.GENERAL 1.1.The purpose of this Annex is to define the required performances for braking systems with anti-lock devices fitted to road vehicles. This Annex does not make it compulsory to fit vehicles with anti-lock devices, but if such devices are fitted to a road vehicle they must meet the requirements of this Annex. In addition, motor vehicles which are authorized to draw a trailer, and trailers equipped with compressed-air braking systems, shall, when the vehicles are laden, meet the requirements for compatibility set out in the Appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II.

1.2.The devices known at present comprise a sensor or sensors, a controller or controllers and a modulator or modulators. Any devices of a different design which may be introduced in the future will be deemed to be anti-lock devices within the meaning of this Annex and the Appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II, if they provide performances equal to those prescribed by this Annex.

2.DEFINITIONS 2.1.An anti-lock device is a component of a service braking system which automatically controls the degree of slip, in the direction of rotation of the wheel(s), on one or more wheels of the vehicle during braking.

2.2.Sensor means a component designed to identify and transmit to the controller the conditions of rotation of the wheel(s) or the dynamic conditions of the vehicle.

2.3.Controller means a component designed to evaluate the data transmitted by the sensor(s) and to transmit a signal to the modulator.

2.4.Modulator means a component designed to vary the braking force(s) in accordance with the signal received from the controller.

2.5.Directly controlled wheel means a wheel whose braking force is modulated according to data provided at least by its own sensor(1).

2.6.Indirectly controlled wheel means a wheel whose braking force is modulated according to data provided by the sensor(s) of other wheel(s)(1).

3.TYPES OF ANTI-LOCK DEVICE 3.1.A motor vehicle is deemed to be equipped with an antilock device within the meaning of para- graph 1 of the Appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II, if one of the following devices is fitted:

3.1.1.Category 1 anti-lock device:

A vehicle equipped with a category 1 anti-lock device shall meet all the relevant requirements of this Annex.

3.1.2.Category 2 anti-lock device:

A vehicle equipped with a category 2 anti-lock device shall meet all the relevant requirements of this Annex, except those of item 5.3.5.

3.1.3.Category 3 anti-lock device:

A vehicle equipped with a category 3 anti-lock device shall meet all the relevant requirements of this Annex, except those of items 5.3.4 and 5.3.5. On such vehicles, any individual axle (or bogie) which does not include at least one directly controlled wheel must fulfil the conditions of adhesion utilization and the wheel-locking sequence of the Appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II, instead of the adhesion utilization requirements prescribed in item 5.2 of this Annex. However, if the relative positions of the adhesion utilization curves do not meet the requirements of item 3.1.1 of the Appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II, a check shall be made to ensure that the wheels on at least one of the rear axles do not lock before those on the front axle or axles under the conditions prescribed in items 3.1.1 and 3.1.4 of the Appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II with regard to the braking rate and the load respectively. These requirements may be checked on high- or low-adhesion road surfaces (about 0,8 and 0,3 maximum) by modulating the service brake control force.

3.2.A towed vehicle is deemed to be equipped with an anti-lock device within the meaning of item 1 of the Appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II, if it meets all the relevant requirements of this Annex.

4.GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 4.1.Any break in the supply of electricity to the device and/or in the wiring external to the elctronic controller(s) shall be signalled to the driver by a specific optical warning signal. This requirement also applies to the anti-lock device(s) of towed vehicles which are designed to be coupled to towing vehicles of categories other than M1 and N1. The warning device for the anti-lock device(s) of the towed vehicle must not give a signal when a towed vehicle without an anti-lock device, or when no towed vehicle, is coupled. This requirement must be met automatically.

5.1.1.2From an initial speed of not less than 50 km/h, on a surface with a coefficient of adhesion of 0,3(1) or less, the brakes of the laden vehicle shall be fully applied for a time t, and all the wheels equipped with an anti-lock device must remain under control throughout that time.

5.1.1.3The vehicles engine shall then be stopped or the supply to the energy storage device(s) cut off.

5.1.1.4The service brake control shall then be fully actuated four times in succession with the vehicle stationary.

5.1.1.5When the brakes are applied for the fifth time, it must be possible to brake the vehicle with at least the performance prescribed for secondary braking of the laden vehicle.

5.1.1.6During the tests, in the case of a motor vehicle authorized to draw a trailer equipped with a compressed air braking system, the supply line shall be stopped and an energy storage device of 0,5-litre capacity shall be connected to the control line (in accordance with Annex IV, item 1.2.2.3). When the brakes are applied for the fith time, as provided in item 5.1.1.5, the energy level supplied to the control line must not be below half the level obtained at a full application starting with the initial energy level.

5.1.2.Additional requirements 5.1.2.1.The coefficient of adhesion of the road surface shall be measured with the vehicle in question, by the method described in item 1.1 of Appendix 1 to this Annex.

5.1.2.2.The braking test shall be conducted with the engine disconnected and idling, and with the vehicle laden.

5.1.2.3.The braking time t shall be determined by the formula: t = Vmax7 (but not less than 15 seconds) where t is expressed in seconds and Vmax represents the maximum design speed of the vehicle expressed in km/h, with an upper limit of 160 km/h.

5.1.2.4.If the time t cannot be completed in a single braking phase, further phases may be used, up to a maximum of four in all.

5.1.2.5.If the test is conducted in several phases, no fresh energy shall be supplied between the phases of the test.

5.1.2.6.The performance prescribed in item 5.1.1.5 shall be deemed to be satisfied if, at the end of the fourth application, with the vehicle stationary, the energy level in the storage device(s) is at or above that required for secondary braking with the laden vehicle.

5.2.Utilization of adhesion 5.2.1.The utilization of adhesion by the anti-lock device takes into account the actual increase in braking distance beyond the theoretical minimum. The anti-lock device shall be deemed to be satisfactory when the condition aa 8 0,75 is satisfied, where aa represents the adhesion utilized, as defined in item 1.2 of Appendix 1 to this Annex. This requirement shall not be construed as requiring a braking performance better than that prescribed in Annex II for the vehicle in question.

5.2.2.The adhesion utilization aa shall be measured on road surfaces with a coefficient of adhesion of 0,3(1) or less, and of about 0,8 (dry road), with an initial speed of 50 km/h.

5.2.3.The test procedure to determine the coefficient of adhesion (K) and the formulae for calculation of the adhesion utilization (aa) shall be those laid down in Appendix 1 to this Annex.

5.2.4.The utilization of adhesion by the anti-lock device shall be checked on complete vehicles equipped with anti-lock devices of categories 1 or 2. In the case of vehicles equipped with category 3 anti-lock devices, only the axle(s) with at least one directly controlled wheel must satisfy this requirement.

5.3.2.When an axle passes from a high-adhesion surface (K1) to a low-adhesion surface (K2) where K1 8 0,5 and K1/K2 8 2(3), with the full force (2) applied on the control device, the directly controlled wheels must not lock. The running speed and the instant of applying the brake shall be so calculated that, with the anti-lock device fully cycling on the high-adhesion surface, the passage from one surface to the other is made at high and at low speed, under the conditions laid down in item 5.3.1 above.

5.3.3.When a vehicle passes from a low-adhesion surface (K2) to a high-adhesion surface (K1) where K1 8 0,5 and K1/K2 8, with the full force (²) applied on the control device, the deceleration of the vehicle must rise to the appropriate high value within a reasonable time and the vehicle must not deviate from its initial course.

5.3.4.The provisions of this paragraph shall only apply to vehicles equipped with anti-lock devices of categories 1 or 2. When the right and left wheels of the vehicle are situated on surfaces with differing coefficients of adhesion (K1 and K2), where K1 8 0,5 and K1/K2 8 2, the directly controlled wheels must not lock when the full force (2) is suddenly applied on the control device at a speed of 50 km/h.

5.3.5.Furthermore, laden vehicles equipped with anti-lock devices of category 1 shall, under the conditions of item 5.3.4 above, satisfy the prescribed braking rate in Appendix 2 to this Annex.

5.3.6.However, in the tests provided for in items 5.3.1, 5.3.2, 5.3.3, 5.3.4 and 5.3.5 above, brief periods of wheel-locking shall be allowed. Furthermore, wheel-locking is permitted when the vehicle speed is less than 15 km/h; likewise, locking of indirectly controlled wheels is permitted at any speed, but stability and steerability must not be affected.

5.3.7.During the tests provided for in items 5.3.4 and 5.3.5 above, steering correction is permitted if the angular rotation of the steering control is within 120o during the initial 2 seconds and not more than 240o in all. Furthermore, at the beginning of these tests the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle must pass over the boundary between the high- and low-adhesion surfaces and during these tests no part of the (outer) tyres must cross this boundary.

6.SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING TOWED VEHICLES 6.1.Energy consumption Braking systems equipped with anti-lock devices shall be so designed that, even after the service braking control has been fully applied for some time, the vehicle retains sufficient energy to bring it to a halt within a reasonable distance.

6.1.1.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(1), and with the brakes adjusted as closely as possible and with the proportioning/load-sensing valve (if fitted) held in the laden position throughout the test.

6.1.3.The brakes shall be fully applied for a time t = 15 seconds, during which all wheels equipped with an antilock device must remain under control. During this test, the supply to the energy storage device(s) shall be cut off.

6.1.4.If the axle or axles equipped with an anti-lock device receive energy from an energy storage device or devices shared with another axle or axles not equipped with an anti-lock device, the supply to the axle or axles not so equipped may be cut off during braking. However, the consumption of energy corresponding to the initial application of the brakes on that axle or axles shall be taken into account.

6.1.5.At the end of the braking, with the vehicle stationary, the service braking control shall be fully actuated four times. During the fifth application, the pressure in the operating circuit must be sufficient to provide a total braking force at the periphery of the wheels equal to not less than 22,5 % of the force corresponding to the maximum mass borne by the wheels when the vehicle is stationary.

6.2.Utilization of adhesion 6.2.1.Braking systems equipped with an anti-lock device shall be deemed acceptable when the condition aa 8 0,75 is satisfied, where aa represents the adhesion utilized, as defined in item 2 of Appendix 1 to this Annex. This condition shall be verified with the vehicle unladen, on a straight and level road with a surface having a good coefficient of adhesion 6.3.Additional checks 6.3.1.At speeds exceeding 15 km/h, the wheels directly controlled by an anti-lock device must not lock when the full force is suddenly applied on the control device. This shall be checked, under the conditions prescribed in item 6.2 above, at a low initial speed V = 40 km/h and at a high initial speed V e 80 km/h.

6.3.2.Brief periods of locking of the wheels shall, however, be allowed, but stability must not be affected.

()Appendix 1 UTILIZATION OF ADHESION 1.METHOD OF MEASUREMENT FOR MOTOR VEHICLES 1.1.Determination of the coefficient of adhesion (K) 1.1.1.The coefficient of adhesion (K) shall be determined as the quotient of the maximum braking forces without locking the wheels and the corresponding dynamic load on the axle being braked.

1.1.2.The brakes shall be applied on only one axle of the vehicle under test, at an initial speed of 50 km/h. The braking forces shall be equally distributed between the wheels of the axle. The anti-lock device shall be disconnected.

1.1.3.A number of tests at increments of line pressure shall be carried out to determine the maximum braking rate of the vehicle (zm).

During each test, a constant input force shall be maintained and the braking rate will be determined by reference to the time taken (t) for the speed to reduce from 40 km/h to 20 km/h using the formula:

z = 0,56t zm is the maximum value of z; t is in seconds.

1.1.4.The braking forces shall be calculated from the measured braking rate and the rolling resistance of the unbraked axle(s) which is equal to 0,015 and 0,010 of the static axle load for a driven axle and a non-driven axle, respectively.

1.1.5.The dynamic load on the axle shall be that given by the relations in the Appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II.

1.1.6.The value of K shall be rounded to the second place of decimals.

1.1.7.Example: in the case of a two-axle vehicle, with the front axle (1) being braked, the coefficient of adhesion (K) is given by:

k = zm 7 P 0,015 7 P2P1 + h_E 7 zm 7 P.

The other symbols (P, h, E) are defined in the Appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II.

1.2.Determination of the adhesion utilized (aa) 1.2.1.The adhesion utilized (aa) is defined as the quotient of the maximum braking rate with the anti-lock device in operation (zmax) and the coefficient of adhesion (K) i.e.

aa = zmaxk 1.2.2.The maximum braking rate (zmax) shall be measured with the anti-lock device in operation and based on the average value of three tests, using the time taken for the speed to reduce from 40 km/h to 20 km/h as in item 1.1.3 above.

1.2.3.The value of aa shall be rounded to the second place of decimals.

1.2.4.In the case of a vehicle equipped with an anti-lock device of categories 1 or 2, the value of zmax will be based on the whole vehicle, with the anti-lock device in operation, and the adhesion utilized (aa) is given by the same formula quoted in item 1.2.1 above.

1.2.5.In the case of a vehicle equipped with an anti-lock device of category 3, the value of zmax will be measured on each acle which has at least one directly controlled wheel.

Example: for a two-axle vehicle with an anti-lock device acting only on the rear axle(2), the adhesion utilized (aa) is given by:

aa = k 7 (P2 h_E 7 zmax 7 P)zmax 7 P 0,010 7 P1.

This calculation shall be made for each axle having at least one directly controlled wheel.

2.METHOD OF MEASUREMENT FOR TOWED VEHICLES 2.1.Where all the axles have at least one directly controlled wheel:

2.1.1.The test shall be conducted by braking one axle at a time; the other axles shall not be braked and the engine of the towing vehicle shall be disconnected.

2.1.2.The mean braking rate (z) shall be determined, taking into account the rolling resistance of the unbraked axles. The test shall be conducted at a speed of 50 km/h and the rolling resistance coefficient may be estimated at 0,01.

2.1.3.The following relation shall be verified for each axle:

aa = z0 z1 8 0,75 where:

aa=the adhesion utilized,

z0=the maximum braking rate obtained by braking one axle without locking the wheels, the anti-lock device being disconnected,

z1=the braking rate obtained by braking the same axle on the same road surface, with the anti-lock device in operation.

The values to be used for z1 and z0 shall be the arithmetic means of three values measured in succession under the same test conditions.

2.2.Where not all axles have at least one directly controlled wheel:

2.2.1.In the case of full trailers, the coefficient of adhesion (K) and the adhesion utilized (aa) shall be determined in accordance with the provisions for motor vehicles in items 1.1 and 1.2 of this Appendix. The forces in the drawbar connection shall be taken into account.

2.2.2.In the case of semi-trailers (and centre-axle trailers), the following procedure shall be used:

2.2.2.1.The adhesion utilized shall be calculated by means of the formula:

aa = zmaxz0 where:

z0=the maximum braking rate obtained by braking one axle without locking the wheels, the anti-lock device being disconnected and the wheels of the other axles removed,

zmax=the braking rate obtained by braking all the axles controlled by the anti-lock device, with the device in operation.

2.2.2.2.The value of z0 may be calculated by carrying out the procedure described in item 1.1.3 of this Appendix to determine the maximum braking rate (z*).

Then:

z0 = PRdynTR;

where:

TR=braking force = z* 7 (P + PM) 0,01 7 W PRdyn=dynamic load = PR TR 7 hs + P 7 z* (hr hs)ER.

The other symbols are defined in the appendix to item 1.1.4.2 of Annex II.

2.2.2.3.The value of zmax may be calculated by the same procedure: measure z**, the braking rate with the anti-lock device in operation; calculate TRm and PRmdyn using the formulae in item 2.2.2.2 above, and then zmax = PmRdynTmR Appendix 2 PERFORMANCE ON DIFFERING-ADHESION SURFACES 1.The prescribed braking rate referred to in item 5.3.5 of this Annex may be calculated by reference to the measured coefficient of adhesion of the two surfaces on which this test is carried out.

These two surfaces must satisfy the conditions prescribed in item 5.3.4 of this Annex.

2.The coefficient of adhesion (K1 and K2) of the high- and low-adhesion surfaces, respectively, shall be determined in accordance with the provisions in item 1.1 of Appendix 1 to this Annex.

3.The prescribed braking rate (z3) for laden motor vehicles shall be -:

z3 8 0,75 7(4 k2 + k15) and z3 8 k2.

()ANNEX XI: TEST CONDITIONS FOR TRAILERS WITH ELECTRICAL BRAKING SYSTEMS 1.GENERAL 1.1.For the purposes of the following provisions electrical brakes are service braking systems consisting of a control device, an electromechanical transmission device, and friction brakes. The electrical control device regulating the voltage for the trailer must be situated on the trailer.

1.2.The electrical energy required for the electrical braking system is supplied to the trailer by the motor vehicle.

1.3.Electrical braking systems shall be actuated by operating the service braking system of the motor vehicle.

1.4.The nominal voltage rating shall be 12 V.

1.5.The maximum current consumption shall not exceed 15 A.

1.6.The electrical connection of the electrical braking system to the motor vehicle shall be effected by means of a special plug and socket connection corresponding to ...(1), the plug of which shall not be compatible with the sockets of the lighting equipment of the vehicle. The plug together with the cable shall be situated on the trailer.

2.CONDITIONS CONCERNING THE TRAILER 2.1.If there is a battery on the trailer fed by the power supply unit of the motor vehicle, it shall be separated from its supply line during service braking of the trailer.

2.2.With trailers whose unladen mass is less than 75 % of their maximum mass the braking force shall be automatically regulated as a function of the loading condition of the trailer.

2.3.Electrical braking devices shall be such that even if the voltage in the connection lines is reduced to a value of 7 V a braking effect of 20 % of the force corresponding to the maximum mass of the trailer is maintained.

2.4.Control devices for regulating the braking force, which react to the inclination in the direction of travel (pendulum, spring-mass-system, liquid-inertia-switch) shall, if the trailer has more than one axle and a vartically adjustable towing device, be attached to the chassis. In the case of single-axle trailers and trailers with close-coupled axles where the axle spread is less than 1 metre, these control devices shall be equipped with a mechanism indicating its horizontal position (e.g. spirit level) and shall be manually adjustable to allow the mechanism to be set in the horizontal plane in line with the direction of travel of the vehicle.

2.5.The relay for actuating the braking current in accordance with item 2.2.1.20.2 of Annex I, which is connected to the actuating line, shall be situated on the trailer.

2.6.A dummy socket shall be provided for the plug.

2.7.A tell-tale shall be provided at the control device, lighting up at any brake application and indicating the proper functioning of the trailer electric braking system.

3.PERFORMANCE 3.1.Electrical braking systems shall respond at a deceleration of the tractor/trailer combination of not more than 0,4 m/s².

3.2.The braking effect may commence with an initial braking force, which shall not be higher than 10 % of the force corresponding to the maximum mass nor higher than 13 % of the force corresponding to the unladen mass of the trailer.

3.3.The braking forces may also be increased in steps. At higher levels of the braking forces than those referred to in item 3.2 these steps shall not be higher than 6 % of the force corresponding to the maximum mass, nor higher than 8 % of the force corresponding to the unladen mass of the trailer. However, in the case of single axle trailers having a maximum mass not exceeding 1,5 tonnes, the first step must not exceed 7 % of the force corresponding to the maximum mass of the trailer. An increase of 1 % of this value is permitted for the subsequent steps (example: first step 7 %, second step 8 %, third step 9 %, etc.; any further step should not exceed 10 %). For the purpose of these provisions a two-axle trailer having a wheelbase shorter than 1 metre will be considered as a single- axle trailer.

3.4.The prescribed braking force of the trailer of at least 50 % of the force corresponding to its maximum mass shall be attained - with maximum mass - in the case of a mean fully developed deceleration of the tractor/trailer combination of not more than 5,9 m/s2 with single-axle trailers and of not more than 5,6 m/s2 with multi-axle trailers. Trailers with close-coupled axles where the axle spread is less than 1 metre are also considered as single-axle trailers within the meaning of this provision. Moreover, the limits as defined in the Appendix to this Annex must be observed. If the braking force is regulated in steps, they shall lie within the range shown in the Appendix to this Annex.

3.5.The test shall be carried out with an initial speed of 60 km/h.

3.6.Automatic braking of the trailer shall be provided in accordance with the conditions of item 2.2.2.9 of Annex I. If this automatic braking action requires electrical energy, a trailer braking force of at least 25 % of the force corresponding to its maximum mass shall be guaranteed for at least 15 minutes to satisfy the abovementioned conditions.
