brake system, and the warning "Clean filler cap before removing" must be permanently affixed, stamped, engraved or embossed either on or within 100 mm of each brake fluid reservoir filler plug or cap, in lettering at least 2.3 mm high.  If not stamped, engraved or embossed, the lettering must be of a contrasting colour to that of the background.

1.5.4                                Each 'Brake Power Unit 31/00' must have a reservoir of capacity not less than the total capacity of the reservoirs required under the requirements of clause 1.5.2 plus the fluid displacement  necessary to charge the piston(s) or accumulator(s) provided for the purpose of storing energy.

1.6                                      Protection of System using 'Stored Energy'

1.6.1                                Any device for storing energy for the operation or to assist in the operation of the brake system must be so protected that failure of the generating power unit of a 'Brake Power Unit 31/00' supplying the energy does not result in depletion of the 'Stored Energy'.

1.6.2                                In cases where the generating power unit of a 'Brake Power Unit 31/00' supplies energy to other units the design shall be such that the 'Brake Power Unit 31/00' is preferentially charged.

1.6.3                                In the case of a service brake system with a single 'Brake Power Unit 31/00' the design must be such that the device for storing energy must preferentially service the brake system if such device also services other systems.  In the case of a service brake system with 2 or more independent 'Brake Power Units 31/00' the design must be such that at least one device for storing energy must preferentially service the brake system.

2.                                          PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

2.1                                      The vehicle must be capable of meeting the range of performance tests set out in the following Table 1, subject to the general test conditions of Part 3. and the particular test conditions of Part 4. except where the 'Maximum Motor Cycle Speed' is equal to or less than 50 km/h and in the case of mopeds, it is not necessary to test in accordance with the requirements of clauses 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9.  The sequence of testing must be in the order set out in Table 1 except that the Parking Brake Test may be conducted at any time within the sequence.
