this does not adversely affect the performance of any 'Antilock System', the power supply to any towed trailer(s) and/or the transmission of any electric 'Control Signal'.
     3.                               Trailers equipped with an electric 'Control Line', an 'Antilock System', or a 'Vehicle Stability Function', must meet the requirements of APPENDIX 4.
     4.                               Notwithstanding clause 7.2.3 above, any 'Converter Dolly' not equipped with an 'Antilock System' or a 'Vehicle Stability Function', must at least:
             1.           be fitted with an electrical connector suitable for connecting to a socket type connector conforming to ISO 7638‑1:2003 at the rear of a towing vehicle/trailer; and
             2.           be fitted with an electrical connector suitable for connecting to a socket type connector conforming to ISO 7638‑1:2003 at the front of a towed trailer; and
             3.           be fitted with through wiring between the electrical connectors provided according to (a) and (b) above, meeting the requirements of clause 3.2 of APPENDIX 4.
             1.                         This clause may be met by electrical cabling that directly connects a towing vehicle/trailer to a towed trailer, with the 'Converter Dolly' configured to provide for a safe connection that minimises any possibility of disconnection or other hazard.

 1.                                           EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM
     1.                                     Each 'Unique' trailer 'Emergency Brake System' must be shown by either test in accordance with clause 10 and clause 14.1 or by the calculation based on data for 'Approved' components in clause 19, to have an 'Established Retardation Co-efficient' of not less than 0.18 and to be able to sustain a 'Brake' force required to obtain an 'ERC' of 0.18 for a period not less than 15 minutes.
     2.                                     The 'Emergency Brake System' may utilise parts of the 'Service Brake System' on the condition that any one failure of a 'Brake Device' in the 'Service Brake System' does not prevent the 'Emergency Brake System' from achieving its performance requirement.  For the purpose of this clause, the 'Brakes' and any mechanical linkage connected directly thereto, must be considered as not subject to failure.
     3.                                     In the case of 'Semi-Trailers', when disconnected from the 'Prime-Mover', the failure of any structure designed to support the front of the trailer must not reduce the effectiveness of the 'Emergency Brake System' to less than half that required by clause 8.1.
     4.                                     'Emergency Brake Systems' that employ 'Stored Fluid Energy' to hold them in the release position must be provided with an auxiliary release mechanism.  The auxiliary device, control or tool, may rely on fluid energy stored within the trailer brake system, and must be attached to the trailer chassis rail, or equivalent structure, forward of the forward most 'Axle' on the rear 'Axle Group' on the right hand side of the trailer.
         1.                               If the auxiliary device utilises stored energy
