This value shall be specified by the manufacturer. ~~1.16.~~ ~~"Category O~~3 ~~and O~~4 ~~trailer types"~~ ~~1.16.~~ ~~"Semi-trailer"~~means a towed vehicle in which the axle(s) is (are) positioned behind the centre of gravity of the vehicle (when uniformly loaded) and which is equipped with a connecting device permitting horizontal and vertical forces to be transmitted to the towing vehicle. ~~1.16.2.~~ ~~"Full trailer"~~means a towed vehicle having at least two axles, and equipped with a towing device which can move vertically (in relation to the trailer) and controls the direction of the front axle(s), but which transmits no significant static load to the towing vehicle. ~~1.16.3.~~ ~~"Centre-axle trailer"~~means a towed vehicle equipped with a towing device which cannot move vertically (in relation to the trailer), and in which the axle(s) is (are) positioned close to the centre of gravity of the vehicle (when uniformly loaded) such that only a small static vertical load, not exceeding 10 % of that corresponding to the maximum mass of the trailer or load of ~~1000~~ ~~daN (whichever is the lesser) is transmitted to the towing vehicle.~~ ~~1.17.~~ ~~"Retarder"~~Until uniform procedures have been agreed to calculate the effects of retarders on the provisions in the Appendix to point 1.1.4.2 of Annex II, this definition does not cover vehicles fitted with regenerative braking systems.means an additional braking system having the capability to provide and to maintain a braking effect over a long period of time without a significant reduction in performance. The term "retarder" covers the complete system including the control device. ~~1.17.1.~~ ~~"Independent retarder"means a retarder whose control device is separate from that of the service and other braking systems~~ ~~1.17.2.~~ ~~"Integrated retarder"~~Until uniform procedures have been agreed to calculate the effects of retarders on the provisions in the Appendix to point 1.1.4.2 of Annex II, vehicles equipped with an integrated retarder must also be equipped with an anti-lock system, acting on at least the service brakes of the axle controlled by the retarder, and on the retarder, and complying with the requirements specified in Annex X.means a retarder whose control device is integrated with that of the service braking system in such a way that both retarder and service braking systems are applied simultaneously or suitably phased by operation of the combined control device. ~~1.17.3.~~ ~~"Combined retarder"means an integrated retarder which in addition has a cut-out device, which allows the combined control to apply the service braking system alone.~~ ~~1.18.~~ ~~"Inter-urban motor-coach"~~means a vehicle designed and equipped for inter-urban transport, having no spaces specifically intended for standing passengers, but able to carry for short distances passengers standing in the gangway. ~~1.19.~~ ~~"Long-distance touring motor-coach"means a vehicle designed and equipped for long-distance journeys, arranged to ensure the comfort of its seated passengers and which does not carry standing passengers.~~ ~~1.20.~~ ~~"Anti-lock system"See Annex X, point 2.1.~~ 2.~~CONSTRUCTION AND FITTING REQUIREMENTS~~ ~~2.1.~~ ~~General~~ ~~2.1.1.~~ ~~Braking equipment~~ ~~2.1.1.1.~~ The braking equipment shall be so designed, constructed and fitted as to enable the vehicle in normal use, despite the vibration to which it may be subjected, to comply with the undermentioned requirements. ~~2.1.1.2.~~ ~~In particular, the braking equipment shall be so designed, constructed and fitted as to be able to resist the corrosion and ageing phenomena to which it is exposed.~~ ~~2.1.1.3.~~ ~~Brake linings shall not contain asbestos~~ ~~2.1.2.~~ ~~Functions of the braking equipmentThe braking equipment defined in point 1.2 shall fulfil the following functions:~~ ~~2.1.2.1.~~ ~~Service braking system~~The service braking system shall enable the driver to control the movement of the vehicle and to halt it safely, speedily and effectively, whatever its speed and load, on any up or down gradient. It shall be possible to graduate this braking action. The driver shall be able to achieve this braking action from his driving seat without removing his hands from the steering control. ~~2.1.2.2.~~ ~~Secondary braking system~~The secondary braking system shall make it possible to halt the vehicle within a reasonable distance in the event of the failure of the service braking system. It shall be possible to graduate this braking action. The driver shall be able to obtain this braking action from his driving seat while keeping at least one hand on the steering control. For the purpose of these requirements, it is assumed that not more than one failure of the service braking system can occur at one time. ~~2.1.2.3.~~ ~~Parking braking system~~The parking braking system shall enable the vehicle to be held stationary on an up or down gradient even in the absence of the driver, the working parts being then held in the locked position by a purely mechanical device. The driver shall be able to achieve this braking action from his driving seat, subject, in the case of a trailer, to the requirements of point 2.2.2.10.The trailer compressed air braking system and the parking braking system of the towing vehicle may be operated simultaneously, provided that the driver is able to check, at any time, that the parking brake performance of the vehicle combination, obtained by the purely mechanical action of the parking braking system, is sufficient. ~~2.1.3.~~ ~~Pneumatic connections between motor vehicles and trailers~~ ~~2.1.3.1.~~ In the case of a braking system operated by compressed air, the pneumatic link with the trailer shall be of the type with two or more lines. However, in all cases, all the requirements of this Directive shall be satisfied by the use of only two lines. shut-off devices which are not automatically actuated shall not be permitted. In the case of articulated vehicle combinations, the flexible hoses shall be a part of the towing vehicle. In all other cases, the flexible hoses shall be a part of the trailer. ~~2.2.~~ ~~Characteristics of braking systems~~ ~~2.2.1.~~ ~~Vehicles of categories M and N~~ ~~2.2.1.1.~~ ~~The set of braking systems with which a vehicle is equipped shall satisfy the requirements laid down for the service, secondary and parking braking systems.~~ ~~2.2.1.2.~~ ~~The equipment providing service, secondary and parking braking may have common components, provided that they fulfil the following conditions:~~ ~~2.2.1.2.1.~~ ~~There shall be at least two controls, independent of each other and readily accessible to the driver from his normal driving position. For all categories of vehicles, except m~~2 ~~and M~~3, every brake control (excluding a retarder control) shall be designed such that it returns to the fully-off position when released. This requirement shall not apply to a parking brake control (or that part of a combined control) when it is mechanically locked in an applied position. ~~2.2.1.2.2.~~ ~~The control of the service braking system shall be independent of the control of the parking braking system.~~ ~~2.2.1.2.3.~~ Where the service and secondary braking systems have the same control, the effectiveness of the linkage between that control and the various components of the transmission systems shall not be liable to diminish after a certain period of use. ~~2.2.1.2.4.~~ ~~Where the service and secondary braking systems have the same control, the parking braking system shall be so designed that it can be actuated when the vehicle is in motion.This provision shall not apply where an auxiliary control permits at least partial actuation of the service braking system, as provided for in Annex II, point 2.1.3.6.~~ ~~2.2.1.2.5.~~ In the event of a breakage of any component other than the brakes (as defined in point 1.6) or the components specified in point 2.2.1.2.7, or of any other failure of the service braking system (malfunction, partial or total exhaustion of an energy reserve), the secondary braking system or that part of the service braking system which is not affected by the failure shall be able to bring the vehicle to a halt in the conditions prescribed for secondary braking. ~~2.2.1.2.6.~~ ~~In particular, where the secondary braking system and the service braking system have a common control and common transmission:~~ ~~2.2.1.2.6.1.~~ Where the service braking system is actuated by the muscular energy of the driver assisted by one or more energy reserves, the secondary braking performance shall, in the event of failure of that assistance, be capable of being ensured by the muscular energy of the driver assisted by the energy reserves, if any, which are unaffected by the failure, the force applied to the control not exceeding the prescribed maxima. ~~2.2.1.2.6.2.~~ Where the forces for the service braking system and transmission depend exclusively on the use of an energy reserve controlled by the driver, there shall be at least two completely independent energy reserves, each provided with its own independent transmission; each of them may act on the brakes of only two or more wheels so selected as to be capable of ensuring by themselves the prescribed degree of secondary braking performance without endangering the stability of the vehicle during braking; in addition, each of these energy reserves shall be fitted with a warning device as defined in point 2.2.1.13. ~~2.2.1.2.7.~~ Certain parts, such as the pedal and its bearing, the master cylinder and its piston(s) (hydraulic systems), the control valve (hydraulic and/or pneumatic systems), the linkage between the pedal and the master cylinder or the control valve, the brake cylinders and their pistons (hydraulic and/or pneumatic systems), and the lever-and-cam assemblies of brakes, shall not be regarded as liable to breakage if they are amply dimensioned, are readily accessible for maintenance, and exhibit safety features at least equal to those prescribed for other essential components (such as the steering linkage) of the vehicle. Where the failure of any such part would make it impossible to brake the vehicle with a performance at least equal to that prescribed for the secondary braking system that part shall be made of metal or of a material with equivalent characteristics and shall not be subject to significant distortion in the normal operation of the braking equipment. ~~2.2.1.3.~~ Where there are separate controls for the service and secondary braking systems, simultaneous actuation of the two controls shall not render both the service and secondary braking systems inoperative, either when both braking systems are in good working order or when one of them is faulty. ~~2.2.1.4.~~ ~~In the event of failure in a part of the transmission of the service braking system, the following conditions shall be met:~~ ~~2.2.1.4.1.~~ ~~A sufficient number of wheels shall still brake by actuation of the service braking system control, whatever the vehicle load.~~ ~~2.2.1.4.2.~~ ~~These wheels shall be so selected that the residual performance of the service braking system satisfies the requirements laid down in point 2.1.4 of Annex II.~~ ~~2.2.1.4.3.~~ However, the above requirements shall not apply to towing vehicles for semi-trailers when the transmission of the service braking system of the semi-trailer is independent of that of the towing vehicle. ~~2.2.1.5.~~ Where use is made of energy other than the muscular energy of the driver, there need not be more than one source of such other energy (hydraulic pump, air compressor, etc.), but the means by which the device constituting that source is driven shall be as safe as practicable. ~~2.2.1.5.1.~~ In the event of failure in any part of the transmission of a vehicle's braking systems, the supply to the part not affected by the failure shall continue to be ensured where this is required for the purpose of halting the vehicle with the degree of effectiveness prescribed for residual and/or for secondary braking. This condition shall be satisfied by means of devices which can be easily actuated when the vehicle is stationary, or by automatic means. ~~2.2.1.5.2.~~ Furthermore, storage devices located down-circuit of this device are such that in the event of a failure in the energy supply, after four full-stroke actuations of the service braking system control under the conditions prescribed in point 1.2 of Annex IV, sections A and B, it is still possible to halt the vehicle at the fifth application with the degree of effectiveness prescribed for secondary braking. ~~2.2.1.5.3.~~ However, for hydraulic braking systems with stored energy, these provisions can be considered to have been satisfied, provided that the requirements of point 1.2.2 of Annex IV, section C, are satisfied. ~~2.2.1.6.~~ The requirements of points 2.2.1.2, 2.2.1.4 and 2.2.1.5 shall be satisfied without the use of any automatic device of a kind such that its ineffectiveness might pass unnoticed because the parts which are normally in an "at rest" position are actuated only in the event of failure of the braking system. ~~2.2.1.7.~~ ~~The service braking system shall act on all the wheels on the vehicle.~~ ~~2.2.1.8.~~ The action of the service braking system shall be appropriately distributed among the axles. In the case of vehicles with more than two axles, in order to avoid wheel-locking or glazing of the brake linings, the brake force on certain axles may be reduced to zero automatically when carrying a much reduced load, provided that the vehicle meets all the performance requirements prescribed in Annex II. ~~2.2.1.9.~~ ~~The action of the service braking system shall be distributed between the wheels of the same axle symmetrically in relation to the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle.~~ ~~2.2.1.10.~~ The service braking system and the parking braking system shall act on braking surfaces permanently connected to the wheels through components of adequate strength. It shall not be possible to disconnect a braking surface from the wheels; however, in the case of the service braking system and secondary braking system, such disconnection of the braking surfaces shall be permitted provided that it is only momentary, for instance during a change of gear, and that both the service braking system and the secondary braking system continue to operate with the prescribed degree of effectiveness. In addition, any such disconnection shall be permitted in the case of the parking braking system, provided that it is controlled exclusively by the driver from his driving seat by a system which cannot be actuated by a leakThis point must be interpreted in the following way: the performance of the service and secondary braking systems must remain within the limits prescribed in the Directive, even during momentary disconnection.. ~~2.2.1.11.~~ Wear of the brakes shall be easily compensated by means of a system of manual or automatic adjustment. In addition, the control and the components of the transmission and of the brakes shall possess a reserve of travel and, if necessary, suitable means of compensation such that, when the brakes become heated or when the brake linings have reached a certain degree of wear, effective braking shall be ensured without immediate adjustment being necessary. ~~2.2.1.11.1.~~ ~~Wear adjustment shall be automatic for the service brakes. However, the fitting of automatic adjustment devices shall be optional for off-road vehicles of categories N~~2 ~~and N~~3~~, and for rear brakes of vehicles of categories M~~1 ~~and N~~1. Automatic wear adjustment devices shall be such that after heating followed by cooling of the brakes, effective braking is still ensured. In particular, the vehicle shall remain capable of normal running after the tests conducted in accordance with Annex II, point 1.3 (Type I test) and Annex II, point 1.4 (Type II test), or point 1.6 (Type III test). ~~2.2.11.2.~~ It shall be possible to easily check this ear on service brake linings from the outside or underside of the vehicle, utilising only the tools or equipment normally supplied with the vehicle; for instance, by the provision of appropriate inspection holes or by some other means. Alternatively, acoustical or optical devices warning the driver at his driving position when lining replacement is necessary are acceptable. The removal of front and/or rear wheels shall be permitted for this purpose on category M1 ~~and N~~1 ~~vehicles only.~~ ~~2.2.1.12.~~ ~~In hydraulic braking systems:~~ ~~2.2.1.12.1.~~ The filling ports of the fluid reservoirs shall be readily accessible; in addition, the containers of reserve fluid shall be so made that the level of the reserve fluid can be easily checked without the containers having to be opened. Where this last condition is not fulfilled, a warning light shall indicate to the driver when the reserve fluid falls to a level liable to cause a failure of the braking system. The driver shall be able to check easily whether the light is functioning properly. ~~2.2.1.12.2.~~ The failure of a part of a hydraulic transmission system shall be signalled to the driver by a device comprising a red tell-tale lamp lighting up not later than on actuation of the control and remaining lit as long as the failure persists and the ignition (start) switch is in the "on" (run) position. However a device comprising a red tell-tale lamp lighting up when the level of the fluid in its reservoirs falls below the value specified by the manufacturer shall be admissible. The tell-tale lamp shall be visible even by daylight; the satisfactory condition of the lamp shall be easily verifiable by the driver from the driver's seat. The failure of a component of the device shall not entail total loss of effectiveness of the braking system in question. ~~2.2.1.12.3.~~ The type of fluid to be used in the hydraulic transmission of braking systems should be identified in accordance with ISO standard 9128-1987. The relevant symbol according to Figure 1 or 2 shall be affixed in a visible position in indelible form within 100 mm of the filling ports of the fluid reservoirs, additional information may be provided by the manufacturers. ~~2.2.1.13.~~ Any vehicle fitted with a service braking system actuated by an energy reservoir shall, where the prescribed secondary braking performance cannot be obtained by means of this braking system without the use of stored energy, be provided with a warning device — in addition to a pressure gauge where fitted — giving an optical or acoustic signal when the stored energy in any part of the system falls to a value at which, without recharging of the reservoir and irrespective of the loading conditions of the vehicle, it shall be possible to apply the service braking system control a fifth time after four full-stroke actuations and obtain the prescribed secondary braking performance (without faults in the service-brake transmission and with the brakes adjusted as closely as possible). The warning device shall be directly and permanently connected to the circuit. When the engine is running under normal operating conditions and there are no faults in the braking system, the warning device shall give no signal except during the time required for charging the energy reservoir(s) after start-up of the engine. ~~2.2.1.13.1.~~ However, in the case of vehicles which are only considered to comply with the requirements of point 2.2.1.5.1 by virtue of meeting the requirements of point 1.2.2 of Annex IV, section C, the alarm device shall consist of an acoustic signal in addition to an optical signal. These devices need not operate simultaneously, provided that each of them meets the above requirements and the acoustic signal is not actuated before the optical signal. ~~2.2.1.13.2.~~ This acoustic device may be rendered inoperative while the parking brake is applied and/or, at the choice of the manufacturer, in the case of automatic transmission the selector in the "park" position. ~~2.2.1.14.~~ Without prejudice to the requirements of point 2.1.2.3, where the use of an auxiliary energy source is essential for the operation of a braking system, the energy reserve shall be such as to ensure that, should the engine stop, or in the event of a failure of the means by which the energy source is driven, the braking performance remains sufficient to bring the vehicle to a halt in the prescribed conditions. In addition, if the muscular energy applied by the driver to the parking braking system is reinforced by some aid, the actuation of the parking braking system shall be ensured in the event of failure of that aid, if necessary by using a reserve of energy independent of that normally supplying such aid. This reserve of energy may be that intended for the service braking system. The expression "actuation" also covers the action of releasing. ~~2.2.1.15.~~ In the case of a motor vehicle to which the coupling of a trailer equipped with a brake controlled by the driver of the towing vehicle is authorised, the service braking system of the towing vehicle shall be fitted with a device so designed that if the trailer braking system should fail, or the air supply line (or such other type of connection as may be adopted) between the towing vehicle and trailer should break, it will still be possible to brake the towing vehicle with the effectiveness prescribed for the secondary braking system; it is accordingly prescribed, in particular, that this device be fitted to the towing vehicleThis point is to be interpreted in the following way: it is essential, in all cases, that the service braking system should be fitted with a device (for instance a limiting valve) ensuring that the vehicle can still be braked by the service braking system, but with a performance prescribed for the secondary braking system.. ~~2.2.1.16.~~ The auxiliary equipment shall be supplied with energy in such a way that during its operation the prescribed performance values can be reached and that even in the event of damage to the source of energy, the operation of the auxiliary equipment cannot cause the reserves of energy feeding the braking systems to fall below the level indicated in point 2.2.1.13. ~~2.2.1.17.~~ ~~Where a trailer belongs to category O~~3 ~~or O~~4~~, the service braking system must be of a continuous or semi-continuous type.~~ ~~2.2.1.18.~~ ~~In the case of a vehicle authorised to tow a category O~~3 ~~or O~~4 ~~trailer, the braking system shall satisfy the following conditions:~~ ~~2.2.1.18.1.~~ ~~When the secondary braking system of the towing vehicle is actuated, there shall also be a graduated braking action on the trailer.~~ ~~2.2.1.18.2.~~ Should the service braking system of the towing vehicle fail, and if this system is made up of at least two independent sections, the section or sections not affected by this failure must be able partially or fully to actuate the trailer brakes. It shall be possible to graduate this braking action; if this operation is achieved by a valve which is normally at rest, then such a valve may only be incorporated if its correct functioning can easily be checked by the driver, either from within the cab or from outside the vehicle, without the use of tools. ~~2.2.1.18.3.~~ In the case of a fracture or leak in one of the air supply lines (or in such other type of connection as may be adopted), it shall nevertheless be possible for the driver to fully or partially actuate the trailer brakes, by means either of the service braking system control or of the secondary braking system control or of the parking braking system control, unless the fracture or leak automatically causes the trailer to be braked with the performance prescribed in point 2.2.3 of Annex II. ~~2.2.1.18.4.~~ ~~In the case of a two-line air supply system, the requirement in point 2.2.1.18.3 shall be considered to be met if the following conditions are fulfilled:~~ ~~2.2.1.18.4.1.~~ ~~When the designated brake control of the controls mentioned in point 2.2.1.18.3 is fully actuated, the pressure in the supply line shall fall to 1,5 bar within the following two seconds.~~ ~~2.2.1.18.4.2.~~ ~~When the supply line is evacuated at the rate of at least 1 bar/s, the automatic braking of the trailer shall start to operate before the pressure in the supply line falls to 2 bar.~~ ~~2.2.1.19.~~ ~~The following vehicle types shall satisfy the Type IIA test described in point 1.5 of Annex II and not the Type II test described in point 1.4 of that Annex:~~ ~~inter-urban motor-coaches and long-distance touring motor-coaches of category M~~3 ~~and motor vehicles of category N~~3 ~~authorised to tow trailers of category O~~4. ~~Where the maximum mass of this vehicle exceeds~~ ~~26000~~ ~~kilograms, the test mass shall be limited to~~ ~~26000~~ ~~kilograms, or in the case where the unladen vehicle mass exceeds the mass of~~ ~~26000~~ ~~kilograms, this mass is to be taken into account by calculation.~~ ~~2.2.1.20.~~ ~~In the case of a motor vehicle equipped to tow a trailer with electric braking systems, the following requirements shall be met:~~ ~~2.2.1.20.1.~~ The power supply (generator and battery) of the motor vehicle shall have a sufficient capacity to provide the current for an electrical braking system.

However, the fitting of automatic adjustment devices is optional for vehicles of categories O~~1 ~~and O~~2~~. Automatic wear adjustment devices shall be such that after heating followed by cooling of the brakes, effective braking is still ensured.In particular, the vehicle shall remain capable of normal running after the tests conducted in accordance with Annex II, point 1.3 (Type I test) and Annex II, point 1.6 (Type III test).~~ ~~2.2.2.8.2.~~ It shall be possible to easily check the wear on service brake linings from the outside or underside of the vehicle, utilising only the tools or equipment normally supplied with the vehicle; for instance, by the provision of appropriate inspection holes or by some other means. ~~2.2.2.9.~~ The braking systems shall be such that the trailer is stopped automatically if the coupling separates while the trailer is in motion. However, this requirement does not apply to trailers with a maximum mass not exceeding 1,5 metric tons provided that the trailers are fitted, in addition to the main coupling, with a secondary coupling (chain, cable, etc.), which, in the event of separation of the main coupling, can stop the drawbar from touching the ground and provide some residual steering action on the trailer. ~~2.2.2.10.~~ On every trailer which is required to be fitted with a service braking system, parking braking shall be ensured even when the trailer is separated from the towing vehicle. It shall be possible for a person standing on the ground to actuate the parking braking system; however, in the case of a trailer used for the carriage of passengers, it shall be possible to actuate this braking system from inside the trailer.

The performance of a braking system shall be determined by measuring the stopping distance in relation to the initial speed of the vehicle and/or by measuring the mean fully developed deceleration during the test. ~~1.1.2.~~ The stopping distance shall be the distance covered by the vehicle from the moment when the driver begins to actuate the control of the braking system until the moment when the vehicle stops; the initial vehicle speed (v1) shall be the speed at the moment when the driver begins to actuate the control of the braking system; the initial speed shall not be less than 98 % of the prescribed speed for the test in question. The mean fully developed deceleration dm ~~shall be calculated as the deceleration averaged with respect to distance over the interval v~~b ~~to v~~e ~~according to the following formula:~~ dm = vb2 - ve2~~25,92~~ se ~~- s~~b ~~m/s~~2 ~~where~~ V1~~as defined above~~ Vb~~vehicle speed at 0,8 V~~1 ~~km/h~~ Ve~~vehicle speed at 0,1 V~~1 ~~km/h~~ Sb~~distance travelled between V~~1 ~~and V~~b ~~in metres~~ Se~~distance travelled between V~~1 ~~and V~~e ~~in metres.~~ ~~The speed and distance shall be determined using instrumentation having an accuracy of ± 1 % at the prescribed speed for the test. The d~~m ~~may be determined by other methods than the measurement of speed and distance; in this case, the accuracy of the d~~m ~~shall be within ± 3 %.~~ ~~1.1.3.~~ ~~For the type-approval of any vehicle, the braking performance shall be measured during road tests conducted in the following conditions:~~ ~~1.1.3.1.~~ ~~The vehicle's condition as regards mass shall be as prescribed for each type of test and be specified in the test report, (Annex IX, Appendix 2).~~ ~~1.1.3.2.~~ The test shall be carried out at the speeds prescribed for each type of test. Where a vehicle is so constructed that its maximum speed is lower than that prescribed for a test, the test shall be performed at the maximum speed of the vehicle. ~~1.1.3.3.~~ ~~During the tests, the force applied to the control of the braking system in order to obtain the prescribed performance shall not exceed the maximum force laid down for the test vehicle's category.~~ ~~1.1.3.4.~~ ~~Without prejudice to the requirements contained in point 1.1.4.2, the road shall possess a surface having good adhesion.~~ ~~1.1.3.5.~~ ~~The tests shall be performed when there is no wind liable to affect the results.~~ ~~1.1.3.6.~~ ~~At the start of the tests the tyres shall be cold and at the pressure prescribed for the load actually borne by the wheels when the vehicle is stationary.~~ ~~1.1.3.7.~~ The prescribed performance shall be obtained without locking of the wheels, without deviation of the vehicle from its course, and without abnormal vibration. Wheel-locking is permitted where specifically mentioned. ~~1.1.4.~~ ~~Behaviour of the vehicle during braking~~ ~~1.1.4.1.~~ ~~In braking tests, and in particular in those at high speed, the general behaviour of the vehicle during braking shall be checked.~~ ~~1.1.4.2.~~ ~~The braking behaviour of vehicles of categories M, N, O~~3 ~~and O~~4 ~~on a road surface having reduced adhesion shall fulfil the conditions laid down in the Appendix to this Annex.~~ ~~1.2.~~ ~~Type O test~~ ~~(ordinary performance test with brakes cold)~~ ~~1.2.1.~~ ~~General~~ ~~1.2.1.1.~~ ~~The brakes shall be cold. A brake is deemed to be cold when the temperature measured on the disc or on the outside of the drum is below 100 °C.~~ ~~1.2.1.2.~~ ~~The test shall be conducted in the following conditions:~~ ~~1.2.1.2.1.~~ The vehicle shall be laden, the distribution of its mass among the axles being that stated by the manufacturer. Where provision is made for several arrangements of the load on the axles the distribution of the maximum mass among the axles shall be such that the load on each axle is proportional to the maximum permissible load for each axle; in the case of tractive units for semi-trailers, the load may be re-positioned approximately half-way between the kingpin position resulting from the above loading conditions and the centreline of the rear axle(s). ~~1.2.1.2.2.~~ Every test shall be repeated on the unladen vehicle. In the case of a motor vehicle there may be, in addition to the driver, a second person on the front seat who is responsible for noting the results of the test. In the case of a motor vehicle designed to tow a semi-trailer, the unladen tests shall be conducted with the tractive unit only, without its trailer, but carrying a load representing the fifth wheel. It will also include a load representing a spare wheel, if this is included in the standard specification of the vehicle. In the case of a vehicle presented as a bare chassis-cab, a supplementary load may be added to simulate the mass of the body, not exceeding the minimum mass declared by the manufacturer in Annex XVIII. ~~1.2.1.2.3.~~ The limits prescribed for minimum performance, both for tests with the vehicle unladen and for tests with the vehicle laden, are those laid down hereunder for each category of vehicle, the vehicle shall satisfy both the prescribed stopping distance and the prescribed mean fully developed deceleration for the relevant vehicle category, but it may not be necessary to actually measure both parameters. ~~1.2.1.2.4.~~ ~~The road shall be level.~~ ~~1.2.2.~~ ~~Type O test with engine disconnected~~ ~~1.2.2.1.~~ The test shall be carried out at the speed prescribed for the category to which the vehicle belongs, the figures prescribed in this connection being subject to a certain margin of tolerance. The minimum performance prescribed for each category shall be attained. ~~1.2.3.~~ ~~Type 0 test with engine connected~~ ~~1.2.3.1.~~ Apart from the test prescribed in point 1.2.2, additional tests shall be carried out at various speeds with the engine connected, the lowest being equal to 30 % of the maximum speed of the vehicle and the highest being equal to 80 % of that speed. The maximum practical performance figures shall be measured and the behaviour of the vehicle shall be recorded in the test report. Tractive units for semi-trailers, artificially loaded to simulate the effects of a laden semi-trailer, shall not be tested beyond 80 km/h. ~~1.2.3.2.~~ Further tests shall be carried out with the engine connected, from the speed prescribed for the category to which the vehicle belongs. The minimum performance prescribed for each category shall be attained. Tractive units for semi-trailers, artificially loaded to simulate the effects of a laden semi-trailer, shall not be tested beyond 80 km/h. ~~1.2.4.~~ ~~Type 0 test for vehicle of category O equipped with compressed-air brakes~~ ~~1.2.4.1.~~ The braking performance of the trailer can be calculated either from the braking rate of the towing vehicle plus the trailer and the measured thrust on the coupling or, in certain cases, from the braking rate of the towing vehicle plus the trailer with only the trailer being braked. The engine of the towing vehicle shall be disconnected during the braking test. In the case where only the trailer is braked, to take account of the extra mass being retarded, the performance will be taken to be the mean fully developed deceleration. ~~1.2.4.2.~~ With the exception of cases according to points 1.2.4.3 and 1.2.4.4, it is necessary for the determination of the braking rate of the trailer to measure the braking rate of the towing vehicle plus the trailer and the thrust on the coupling. The towing vehicle shall meet the requirements laid down in the Appendix to point 1.1.4.2 of Annex II with regard to the relation between the ratio TMPM ~~and the pressure p~~m~~. The braking rate of the trailer shall be calculated according to the following formula:~~ ZR ~~= ZR + M~~ + DPR ~~where:~~ ZR~~braking rate of the trailer~~ Z~~R+Mbraking rate of the towing vehicle plus the trailer~~ D~~thrust on the coupling(tractive force D > 0)(compressive force D < 0)~~ PR~~total normal static reaction between road surface and wheels of the trailer~~ ~~1.2.4.3.~~ If a trailer has a continuous or semi-continuous braking system where the pressure in the brake actuators does not change during braking despite the dynamic axle load shifting, and in the case of semi-trailers, the trailer alone may be braked. The braking rate of the trailer shall be calculated according to the following formula: ZR = Z~~R + M~~ ~~- R~~ × PM ~~+ P~~RPR ~~+ R~~ ~~where:~~ R~~rolling resistance value = 0,01~~ PM~~total normal static reaction between road surface and wheels of towing vehicles for trailers~~ ~~1.2.4.4.~~ Alternatively, the evaluation of the braking rate of the trailer may be done by braking the trailer alone. In this case the pressure used shall be the same as that measured in the brake actuators during the braking of the combination. ~~1.3.~~ ~~Type I test~~ ~~(fade test)~~ ~~1.3.1.~~ ~~With repeated braking~~ ~~1.3.1.1.~~ The service braking system of all motor vehicles shall be tested by successively applying and releasing the brakes a number of times, the vehicle being laden, in accordance with the conditions shown in the following table:

This force shall remain constant throughout the succeeding brake applications.~~ ~~1.3.1.4.~~ ~~During brake applications the highest gear ratio (excluding overdrive, etc.) shall be continuously engaged.~~ ~~1.3.1.5.~~ ~~For regaining speed after braking, the gearbox shall be used in such a way as to attain the speed v~~1 ~~in the shortest possible time (maximum acceleration allowed by the engine and gearbox).~~ ~~1.3.2.~~ ~~With continuous braking~~ ~~1.3.2.1.~~ ~~The service braking system of trailers of categories O~~2 ~~and O~~3 shall be tested in such a manner that, the vehicle being laden, the energy input to the brakes shall be equivalent to that recorded in the same period of time with a laden vehicle driven at a steady speed of 40 km/h on a 7 % down gradient for a distance of 1,7 km. ~~1.3.2.2.~~ The test may be carried out on a level road, the trailer being towed by a motor vehicle; during the test, the force applied to the control shall be adjusted so as to keep the resistance of the trailer constant (7 % of the maximum stationary axle load of the trailer). If the power available for hauling is insufficient, the test can be conducted at a lower speed but over a greater distance; as shown in the following table:

~~1.3.3.~~ ~~Hot performance~~ ~~1.3.3.1.~~ At the end of the Type I test (test described in point 1.3.1 or test described in point 1.3.2 of this Annex) the hot performance of the service braking system shall be measured under the same conditions (and in particular at a constant control force no greater than the mean force actually used) as for the Type 0 test with the engine disconnected (the temperature conditions may be different).

However, in the event of a failure in a part of the transmission of the service braking system, a spring brake may be used to achieve the residual performance prescribed in point 2.2.1.4 of Annex I, provided that the driver can graduate this action. In the case of motor vehicles, with the exception of towing vehicles for semi-trailers meeting the requirements specified in point 2.2.1.4.3 of Annex I, the spring brake shall not be the sole source of residual braking. Vacuum spring brakes shall not be used for trailers. ~~2.2.~~ ~~A small variation in any of the pressure limits which may occur in the spring compression chamber feed circuit shall not cause a significant variation in the braking force.~~ ~~2.3.~~ The feed circuit to the spring compression chamber shall either include an own energy reserve or shall be fed from at least two independent energy reserves. The trailer supply line may be branched from this feed line under the condition that a pressure drop in the trailer supply line shall not be able to apply the spring brake actuators. Auxiliary equipment may only draw its energy from the feed line for the spring brake actuators under the condition that its operation, even in the event of damage to the energy source, cannot cause the energy reserve for the spring brake actuators to fall below a level from which one release of the spring brake actuators is possible. In any case during re-charging of the braking system from zero pressure, the spring brakes shall not release until the pressure in the service braking system is sufficient to ensure at least the prescribed secondary braking performance of the laden vehicle, using the service braking system control. Similarly, once applied, the spring brakes shall not release unless there is sufficient pressure in the service braking system to at least provide the prescribed residual braking performance of the laden vehicle by application of the service braking control.~~This item does not apply to trailers.~~ ~~2.4.~~ In motor vehicles, the system shall be so designed that it is possible to apply and release the brakes at least three times if the initial pressure in the spring compression chamber is equal to the maximum design pressure. In the case of trailers, it shall be possible to release the brakes at least three times after the trailer has been uncoupled, the pressure in the supply line being 6,5 bar before the uncoupling. These conditions shall be satisfied when the brakes are adjusted as closely as possible. In addition, it shall be possible to apply and release the parking brake as specified in Annex I point 2.2.2.10, when the trailer is coupled to the towing vehicle. ~~2.5.~~ In the case of motor vehicles, the pressure in the spring compression chamber beyond which the springs begin to actuate the brakes, the latter being adjusted as closely as possible, shall not be greater than 80 % of the minimum level of the normal available pressure. In the case of trailers, the pressure in the spring compression chamber beyond which the springs begin to actuate the brakes shall not be greater than that obtained after four full-stroke actuations of the service braking system in accordance with Annex IV, point 1.3. The initial pressure is fixed at 6,5 bar. ~~2.6.~~ When the pressure in the line feeding energy to the spring compression chamber — excluding lines of an auxiliary release device using a fluid under pressure — falls to the level at which the brake parts begin to move, an optical or audible warning device shall be actuated. Provided this requirement is met, the warning device may be that specified in point 2.2.1.13 of Annex I. This provision does not apply to trailers. ~~2.7.~~ On motor vehicles fitted with spring brakes and authorised to tow trailers with continuous or semi-continuous brakes, automatic application of the spring brakes shall cause the trailer brakes to be applied. 3.~~RELEASE SYSTEM~~ ~~3.1.~~ A spring braking system shall be so designed that, in the event of a failure in that system, it is still possible to release the brakes. This may be achieved by the use of an auxiliary release device (pneumatic, mechanical, etc.). Auxiliary release devices using an energy reserve for releasing, shall draw their energy from an energy reserve which is independent from the energy reserve normally used for the spring braking system.The pneumatic or hydraulic fluid in such an auxiliary release device may act on the same piston surface in the spring compression chamber, which is used for the normal spring braking system, under the condition that the auxiliary release device uses a separate line. The junction of this line with the normal line connecting the control device with the spring brake actuators, shall be at each spring brake actuator immediately before the port to the spring compression chamber, if not integrated in the body of the actuator. This junction shall include a device which prevents an influence of one line on the other. The requirements of point 2.2.1.6 of Annex I also apply to this device. ~~3.1.1.~~ For the purposes of the requirement of point 3.1, components of the braking system transmission shall not be regarded as subject to failure if under the terms of point 2.2.1.2.7 of Annex I they are not regarded as liable to breakage, provided that they are made of metal or of a material having similar characteristics and do not undergo significant distortion in normal braking. ~~3.2.~~ ~~If the operation of the auxiliary device referred to in point 3.1 requires the use of a tool or spanner, that tool or spanner shall be kept on the vehicle.~~ ~~ANNEX VI~~ ~~Parking braking by mechanical locking of the brake cylinders (lock actuators)~~ 1.~~DEFINITION~~ ~~Mechanical locking of the brake cylinders means a device for ensuring parking braking by mechanical wedging of the brake piston rod.~~Mechanical locking occurs when the locking chamber is emptied of compressed air; the mechanical locking device shall be designed in such a way that it can be released when the locking chamber is again subjected to pressure. 2.~~SPECIAL PROVISIONS~~ ~~2.1.~~ ~~When the pressure in the locking chamber approaches the level corresponding to mechanical locking, an optical or audible warning system shall be actuated.~~This provision does not apply to trailers. In the case of trailers the pressure corresponding to mechanical locking shall not exceed 4 bar. It shall be possible to achieve parking brake performance after any single failure of the trailer service braking system. In addition, it shall be possible to release the brakes at least three times after the trailer has been uncoupled, the pressure in the supply line being 6,5 bar before the uncoupling. These conditions shall be satisfied when the brakes are adjusted as closely as possible. It shall also be possible to apply and release the parking braking system as specified in Annex I, point 2.2.2.10, when the trailer is coupled to the towing vehicle. ~~2.2.~~ ~~In the case of brake actuators fitted with a mechanical locking device, the brake actuator shall be capable of being actuated by either of two energy reserves.~~ ~~2.3.~~ ~~The locked brake cylinder may only be released if it is certain that the brake can be operated again after such release.~~ ~~2.4.~~ In the event of a failure of the source of energy supplying the locking chamber, an auxiliary unlocking device (mechanical or pneumatic, for instance) using, for example, the air in one of the tyres of the vehicle, shall be provided. ~~2.5.~~ The control shall be such that, when actuated, it performs the following operations in sequence: it applies the brakes so as to provide the degree of efficiency required for parking braking, locks the brakes in that position and then cancels out the brake-application force. ~~ANNEX VII~~ ~~Cases in which Type I and/or II (or IIA) or III tests do not have to be carried out on a vehicle submitted for type-approval~~ 1. ~~Type I and/or II (or IIA) or Type III tests shall not have to be carried out on a vehicle submitted for type-approval in the following cases:~~ ~~1.1.~~ Where the vehicle in question is a motor vehicle, a trailer or a semi-trailer which, in respect of tyres, braking energy absorbed by each axle and method of fitting of tyres and brakes, is identical, as far as braking is concerned, to a motor vehicle, or trailer, or semi-trailer which: ~~1.1.1.~~ ~~has passed a Type I and/or II (or IIA) or III test~~ ~~1.1.2.~~ ~~has been type-approved, with regard to braking energy absorbed, for mass per axle not lower than that of the vehicle concerned.~~ ~~1.2.~~ Where the vehicle in question is a motor vehicle, a trailer or a semi-trailer of which the axle or axles, in respect of tyres, braking energy absorbed by each axle and method of fitting tyres and brakes, is or are identical, as far as braking is concerned, to an axle or axles which has or have individually passed a Type I and/or II (or IIA) or Type III test for mass per axle not lower than that of the vehicle concerned, provided that the braking energy absorbed by each axle does not exceed the energy absorbed by that axle during the reference test or tests carried out separately on that axle. ~~1.3.~~ ~~Where the vehicle submitted for type-approval is fitted with a retarder, other than an engine brake, identical to a retarder which has already been tested under the following conditions:~~ ~~1.3.1.~~ In a test carried out on a gradient of at least 6 % (Type II test) or of at least 7 % (Type IIA test), this retarder has, on its own, stabilised the speed of a vehicle with a maximum mass at the time of testing at least equal to the maximum mass of the vehicle submitted for type-approval. ~~1.3.2.~~ During the above test it shall be verified that the speed of rotation of the revolving parts of the retarder is such that, when the vehicle is travelling at a speed of 30 km/h, the retarding torque is at least equal to the retarding torque in the test mentioned in point 1.3.1. ~~1.4.~~ ~~Where the vehicle concerned is a trailer equipped with "S"-cam air-operated brakesOther brake designs may be approved upon presentation of equivalent information.~~ ~~which satisfies the verification requirements of Appendix I to this Annex relating to a report of a reference axle test as shown in Appendix 2 of this Annex.~~ 2.

The laden test on the high-adhesion surface may be omitted if the prescribed force on the control device does not achieve full cycling of the anti-lock braking system. For the unladen test, the control force may be increased up to 100 daN if no cycling is achieved with its full force value~~"Full force" means the maximum force laid down in Annex II for the category of vehicle: a higher force may be used if required to activate the anti-lock braking system.~~.

The number of equivalent brake applications (ne~~) shall be noted.~~ ~~4.1.3.~~ ~~Split-friction test~~ ~~Where an anti-lock braking system is to be defined as a category A system then all such ABS configurations shall be subject to he performance requirements of point 6.3.2 of Annex X.~~ ~~4.1.4.~~ ~~Low and high speed performance~~ ~~4.1.4.1.~~ ~~With the trailer set as for the utilisation of adhesion evaluation, verification of the low and high speed performance shall be carried out according to 6.3.1 of Annex X.~~ ~~4.1.4.2.~~ Where a tolerance exists between the number of exciter teeth and tyre circumference, functional checks shall be carried out at the extremes of tolerance in accordance with point 6.3 of Annex X. This may be achieved by utilising different tyre sizes or by producing special exciters to simulate the frequency extremes. ~~4.1.5.~~ ~~Additional checksThe following additional checks shall be carried out with the towing vehicle unbraked and the trailer unladen:~~ ~~4.1.5.1.~~ ~~When an axle/bogie passes from a high-adhesion surface (k~~H~~) to a low-adhesion surface (k~~L~~) where k~~H ~~≥ 0,5 and k~~H/kL ≥ 2 with a control pressure at the coupling head of 6,5 bar, the directly controlled wheels shall not lock. The running speed and the instant of applying the trailer brakes is so calculated that with the anti-lock braking system fully cycling on the high-adhesion surface, the passage from one surface to the other being made at approximately 80 km/h and 40 km/h. ~~4.1.5.2.~~ ~~When a trailer passes from a low-adhesion surface (k~~L~~) to a high-adhesion surface (k~~H~~) where k~~H ~~≥ 0,5 and k~~H/kL ≥ 2, with a control pressure at the coupling head of 6,5 bar, the pressure in the brake chambers shall rise to an appropriate high value within a reasonable time and the trailer shall not deviate form its initial course. The running speed and the instant of applying the brake is so calculated that, with the anti-lock braking system fully cycling on the low adhesion surface, the passage from one surface to the other occurs at approximately 50 km/h. ~~4.1.6.~~ ~~Failure mode simulationA check shall be made on a test vehicle or simulation rig with respect to the external wiring and compliance to point 4.1 of Annex X.~~ 5.~~APPROVAL REPORT~~ ~~5.1.~~ ~~An approval report shall be produced, the content of which is defined in Appendix 1 to this Annex.~~ 6.~~VERIFICATION~~ ~~6.1.~~ ~~Verification of components and installationThe specification of the ABS installed on the trailer to be type approved shall be verified by satisfying each of the following criteria:~~
