shall be repeated 3 times without interruption. The brakes shall not be
applied except for the deceleration specified.
35.5.12.2.                The Service Brake Water Recovery Procedure shall be followed immediately by the Service Brake Water Effectiveness Check.
35.5.13.                      Service Brake Water Effectiveness Check
For Forward-control Passenger Vehicles (MB), Off-road Passenger Vehicles (MC) and Light Omnibus up to 3.5 tonne 'GVM', up to 12 seats (MD1):
This check shall be a repetition of the Service Brake Fade Effectiveness Check as specified in clause 35.5.10 except that the vehicle shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this check if the deceleration achieved is not less than that specified in clause 35.3.3 (Item 13).
35.5.14.                      Service Brake 'Spike Stop 35/00' Procedure
For service brake systems without a 'Brake Power Unit
35/00':
Ten 'Spike Stops 35/00' shall be conducted as specified in clause 35.3.3 (Item 14) and the 'Control' force for each stop shall be maintained until the vehicle is stationary.
35.5.15.                      Service Brake 'Spike Stop 35/00' Effectiveness Check
For service brake systems without a 'Brake Power Unit 35/00':
The vehicle shall be deemed to pass this check if all the parameters specified for each set of conditions listed in clause 35.3.3 (Item 15) are met on at least one deceleration mode within a number of deceleration modes which shall not exceed 6.
35.5.16.                      Parking Brake Test
35.5.16.1.                This test shall be conducted on a gradient of at least 18 per cent, where the vertical rise is expressed as a per centage of the horizontal distance travelled to achieve this rise. The vehicle shall be positioned on the gradient such that its longitudinal axis is parallel to the direction of the gradient. The 'Parking Mechanism 35/00' (if fitted) shall be disengaged. The service brake shall be applied, transmission disengaged, and parking brake shall be applied by a single application of the force specified, except that a series of applications to achieve the specified force may be made in the case of a parking brake design that does not allow the application of the specified force in a single application. The service brake shall be released, for a period of not less than 5 minutes. The vehicle shall then be parked in the reverse position on the gradient for not less than 5 minutes with the vehicle in condition described above.
35.5.16.2.                The vehicle shall be deemed to pass this test if:
35.5.16.2.1.          for each of the 5 minute periods it remains stationary on the gradient; and
35.5.16.2.2.          the force required to actuate the parking brake does not exceed 685 N in the case of a foot operated parking brake, and does not exceed 590 N applied at the centre of the handgrip, or not
