must not be less than 5 km/h.  For the purpose of this clause changes from "drive" to "reverse" and "reverse" to "drive" are considered as continuous driving.
8.11.4.                          Water Spray. The braking surfaces of all brake assemblies fitted to the vehicle must be simultaneously and continuously wetted for a period of not less than 5 minutes.  The rate of delivery of water to each brake assembly must not be less than 25 litres per minute.  In the case of drum brake assemblies the water flow must be introduced through an aperture in the brake backing plate.
8.12.                                Service Brake Water Recovery Procedure
8.12.1.                          The Service Brake Water Recovery Procedure applies to both Forward-control Passenger Vehicles (MB) and Off-road Passenger Vehicles (MC).
8.12.2.                          Immediately upon completion of the Service Brake Water Conditioning Procedure the vehicle must be accelerated and the drive train must be employed to attain the initial speed specified in Table 1 (Item 10).  Continue at this speed until the total distance not exceeding 1.6 km has been travelled and then decelerate at a sustained deceleration of not less than 2.0 m/s2 until stationary.  This sequence must be repeated 3 times without interruption.  The brakes must not be applied except for the deceleration specified.
8.12.3.                          The Service Brake Water Recovery Procedure must be followed immediately by the Service Brake Water Effectiveness Check.
8.13.                                Service Brake Water Effectiveness Check
8.13.1.                          The Service Brake Water Effectiveness Check applies to both Forward-control Passenger Vehicles (MB) and Off-road Passenger Vehicles (MC).
8.13.2.                          The vehicle must be accelerated over a distance not exceeding 1.6 km from the final speed attained at the conclusion of the deceleration mode of the Service Brake Fade Test to the initial speed specified in Table 1 (Item 10) and the test carried out in accordance with that Item.  The vehicle will be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this test if the deceleration achieved is not less than that specified in Table 1 (Item 13).
8.14.                                Service Brake 'Spike Stop 35/..' Procedure
8.14.1.                          For 'Service Brake Systems' without a 'Brake Power Unit 35/...' only.
8.14.2.                          Ten 'Spike Stops 35/...' must be conducted as specified in Table 1 (Item 14) and the 'Control' force for each stop must be maintained until the vehicle is stationary.
8.15.                                Service Brake 'Spike Stop 35/...' Effectiveness Check
8.15.1.                          For 'Service Brake Systems' without a 'Brake Power Unit 35/...' only.
8.15.2.                          The vehicle will be deemed to pass this check if all the parameters specified for each set of conditions listed in Table 1 (Item 15) are met on at least one deceleration mode within a number of deceleration modes which must not exceed 6.
8.16.                                Parking Brake Test
8.16.1.                          This test must be conducted
