Textual Amendments

F1 Substituted by Commission Directive 98/12/EC of 27 January 1998 adapting to technical progress Council Directive 71/320/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the braking devices of certain categories of motor vehicles and their trailers (Text with EEA relevance).

NB: U.K.

1. It is understood that, between the values and U.K.

it is not necessary that there should be proportionality between the braking rate

and the control line pressure as measured at the coupling head.

2. The relationships required by the diagram apply progressively for intermediate states of loading between the laden and the unladen states and shall be achieved by automatic means.] U.K.
