 1.                                           DEFINITIONS
     1.                                     For vehicle categories, definitions and meanings used in this standard, refer to:
         1.                               Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule Definitions and Vehicle Categories) 2005;
         2.                               APPENDIX 1 of this standard;
         3.                               Definitions in clause 1 of APPENDIX 3 of this standard; and
         4.                               Definitions in clause 1 of APPENDIX 5 of this standard.

 2.                                           DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
     1.                                     'Service Brake System'
         1.                               The vehicle must be equipped with a 'Service Brake System' operable on all road wheels through the medium of a single 'Control' so placed that it can be actuated by the operator from the normal driving position.
         2.                               The vehicle must have one or more service brake failure 'Visible Indicators' meeting the requirements of clause 5.2.
         3.                               Where separate methods of actuation are provided for any of the functions of the brake system, the actuation of one function must not cause the operation of another function.
         4.                               The 'Service Brake System' must incorporate devices, which automatically compensate for any increased movement of its components arising from wear.  Such devices must themselves contain provision for securing them throughout their working range in any position to which they adjust.
         5.                               Category MD, ME, NB and NC vehicles, with not more than four axles, must be equipped with an 'Antilock System'.
