'Brakes' so applied is not dependent on 'Stored Fluid Energy', AND

           (c) with the 'Supply Line' energy level at 0.0 'E' the braking effectiveness shall be at least that specified for the 'Emergency Brake System' in clause 38.2.3.2 ('Emergency Brake System').

38.2.1.6.                    The 'Brake System' shall be designed so that no single failure in a 'Brake Device' in the 'Service Brake System', except of a 'Supply Line' or 'Control Line', shall cause the 'Brakes' to apply on more than one axle.

38.2.1.7.                    Manual devices for the isolation of faulty devices or brake circuits may be included in the 'Brake System' but automatic devices of the type that normally remain passive and whose function cannot readily be checked during normal operation of the trailer are not permitted. For the purposes of this clause normal operation also includes the activity of coupling and
uncoupling the trailer connections.

38.2.1.8.                    Where a trailer is fitted with an auxiliary park brake release device, enabling stored energy actuation or release of any part of the 'Brake System' to be cut out, the device must be such that the 'Brake System' is restored to normal no later than on the resumption of the supply of 'Stored Energy' to the trailer from the towing vehicle.

38.2.1.8.1.              Notwithstanding clause 38.2.1.8 above, at the option of the 'Manufacturer', the 'Administrator' may permit other safety related devices in the 'Parking Brake System', when such fitment would lead to increased safety in operation or to meet other specified mandatory requirements.

38.2.1.9.                    All components and devices in the 'Brake System' shall 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 as meaning SAA, SAE, BS, JIS and DIN standards in addition to other standards recognised by the 'Administrator'.

38.2.1.10.                Brake line couplings shall not be interchangeable.

38.2.1.10.1.          Couplings shall be polarised in accordance with AS D8 - 1971, "Hose Couplings for use with Vacuum and Air-pressure Braking Systems on Prime movers, Trailers and Semi-trailers" where applicable. i.e. Vacuum systems, 'Supply Line', female connector; Compressed air systems, 'Supply Line', male connector;

or

palm type with inboard interference lug.

38.2.1.11.                Each air reservoir in a compressed air 'Brake System' shall be fitted with an automatic or manual condensate drain valve at the lowest point.  Where an automatic condensate valve is fitted, it shall have provision for manual operation.

38.2.1.12.                Each 'Brake System' shall incorporate devices which compensate for any increased movement of its components arising from wear. Such devices shall themselves contain provision for securing them throughout their working range in any position in which they may be adjusted to or to which they may themselves automatically
