4.                                          DEFINITIONS
4.1.                                    Refer to Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule Definitions and Vehicle Categories) 2005.
5.                                          design REQUIREMENTS
5.1.                                    'Service Brake System'
5.1.1.                              The vehicle must be equipped with a 'Service Brake System' operable on all road wheels through the medium of a single 'Control' so placed that it can be actuated by the operator from the normal driving position.
5.1.2.                              The vehicle must have one or more service brake failure 'Visible Indicators' meeting the requirements of clause 5.2.
5.1.3.                              Where separate methods of actuation are provided for any of the functions of the brake system, the actuation of one function must not cause the operation of another function.
5.1.4.                              Each 'Service Brake System' must incorporate devices which compensate for any increased movement of its components arising from wear.  Such devices must themselves contain provision for securing them throughout their working range in any position to which they may be adjusted to or to which they may themselves automatically adjust.
5.1.5.                              Where a vehicle is equipped with an 'Antilock System' it must meet the requirements of APPENDIX 1.
5.1.6.                              All components and devices in the 'Brake System' must meet or exceed at least one appropriate and recognised international, national or association standard, where such standards exist, or the relevant parts thereof. "Recognised" can be taken to include SAA, SAE, BS, JIS, DIN, ISO and ECE standards.
5.1.7.                              Traction control systems may utilise part of the 'Service Brake System' provided that, except for parts common to both the traction control system and the 'Service Brake System' , the traction control system or any failure of it can not interfere with normal braking.
5.1.8.                              Brake line couplings must not be interchangeable and must be polarised.  Couplings must comply with the requirements of AS D8 - 1971, "Hose Couplings for use with Vacuum and Air-pressure Braking Systems on Prime-movers, Trailers and Semi-trailers" where applicable or alternatively Duomatic or compatible coupling may be used

         Couplings must be configured as follows:
