Legislation originating from the EU
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
This item of legislation originated from the EU
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
Status:
This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
2.APPARATUS AND EQUIPMENT
2.1.Horizontal loading tests (side and longitudinal)
2.1.1.Material, equipment and tie-down means adequate to ensure that the assembly is firmly fixed to the bedplate, independently of tyres if present.
2.1.2.Means of applying a horizontal force on the protection structure by a stiff beam as shown in figures 1 and 2 of Annex IV.
2.1.2.1.The stiff beam shall have a vertical face dimension of 150 mm.
2.1.2.2.Provision must be made so that the load can be uniformly distributed normal to the direction of loading and along a beam having a length of one of the exact multiples of 50 between 250 and 700 mm.
2.1.2.3.The edges of the beam in contact with the protection structure shall be curved with a maximum radius of 50 mm.
2.1.2.4.Universal joints — or the equivalent — shall be incorporated to ensure that the loading device does not constrain the structure in rotation or translation in any direction other than the direction of loading.
2.1.2.5.Where the horizontal length of the protection structure to which the load is to be applied does not constitute a straight line normal to the direction of application of the load, the space shall be packed so as to distribute the load over this length.
2.1.3.Equipment for measuring as far as is technically possible the energy absorbed by the protection structure and the rigid parts of the tractor to which it is attached, for example by measuring the force applied along its direction of application and the corresponding deflection relative to a point on the tractor chassis.
2.1.4.Means for proving that the zone of clearance has not been entered during the test. A rig according to figures 6a, 6b and 6c of Annex IV can be used.
2.2.Crushing tests (rear and front)
2.2.1.Material, equipment and tie-down means adequate to ensure that the tractor is firmly fixed to the bedplate, independently of tyres.
2.2.2.Means for applying a vertical force on the protection structure, such as shown in figure 3 of Annex IV, including a stiff crushing beam with a width of 250 mm.
2.2.3.Equipment for measuring the total vertical force applied.
2.2.4.Means for proving that the zone of clearance has not been entered during the test. A rig according to figures 6a, 6b and 6c of Annex IV can be used.
2.3.Measurement tolerances
2.3.1.Dimensions: ± 3 mm.
2.3.2.Deflection: ± 3 mm.
2.3.3.Tractor mass: ± 20 kg.
2.3.4.Loads and forces: ± 2 %.
2.3.5.Direction of loading: deviation from horizontal and vertical directions specified in Annex III:
at start of test, under zero load: ± 2°,
during test, under load: 10° above and 20° below the horizontal. These variations shall as far as possible be kept to a minimum.
