Document: GRRF/2003/4 Current requirements of Annex 10 and Annex 13: Annex 10: Requires vehicles to fulfil the prescribed laden and unladen compatibility requirements. Annex 13, paragraph 1. 1. : - - - anti-lock systems. In addition, power driven vehicles which are authorised to tow a trailer and trailers equipped with compressed air braking systems. Shall, when the vehicles are laden, meet the requirements for compatibility set out in Annex 10 to this Regulation.
Document: GRRF/2003/4 Interpretation of existing Annex 10 requirements: Laden: vehicle performance must be within the shaded area. For all states of load except laden: No requirements exist
Document: GRRF/2003/4 Proposed revisions to Annex 13: Paragraph 1. 1 - - for compatibility set out in Annex 10. However, for all load conditions, a braking rate shall be developed between a pressure of 0. 2 and 1. 0 bar or equivalent digital demand value at the coupling head of the control line(s).
53 GRRF Informal Document No. 5: Proposed addition to Annex 10: Paragraph 1. 3 At the time of type approval it shall be checked that the development of braking on an axle of each independent axle group */ shall be within the following pressure ranges: */ An axle group is where a number of axles have a maximum axle spread of 2 m.
53 GRRF Informal Document No. 5: Annex 10 1. 3. Validation of the development of braking force: Paragraph 1. 3. 1. Laden vehicles: At least one axle shall commence to develop a braking force when the pressure at the coupling head is within the pressure range 0. 2 to 1. 0 bar. At least one axle of any other axle group shall commence to develop a braking force when the pressure at the coupling head is [<1. 2 bar]. Unladen vehicles: At least one axle shall commence to develop a braking force when the pressure at the coupling head is within the pressure range 0. 2 to 1. 0 bar.
53 GRRF Informal Document No. 5: Annex 10 1. 3. Validation of the development of braking force: Paragraph 1. 3. 1. 1. With the wheel(s) raised of the axle(s) raised off the ground and free to rotate, apply an increasing brake demand measure the coupling head pressure corresponding to when the wheel(s) can no longer be rotated by hand. This condition is defined as the development of braking force.
53 GRRF Informal Document No. 5 Proposed revision to Annex 10: Paragraph 7. 5. Electronically controlled brake force distribution systems that cannot fulfil the requirements of paragraphs 7. 1. , 7. 2. , 7. 3. and 7. 4 above shall have a checking procedure of the functions which influence brake force distribution. In addition, when the vehicle is stationary, it must be possible to carry out the checks defined in paragraph 1. 3. 1. above by generating the nominal demand pressure value associated with the commencement of braking for both laden and unladen conditions.
