- Original (As adopted by EU)
After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.
The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.
Version Superseded: 01/11/2014
EU Directives are being published on this site to aid cross referencing from UK legislation. After IP completion day (31 December 2020 11pm) no further amendments will be applied to this version.

:
‘ maximum mass ’ of the trailer which, according to the manufacturer's declaration, can be braked by the control device
:
‘ maximum mass ’ of the trailer which can be braked by the joint operation of all the trailer brakes

:
braking force required
:
required braking force taking account of rolling resistance

:
control device output force
:
supplementary force of control device by convention; this is defined as the force D corresponding to the point of intersection of the x axes of the extrapolated curve expressing P′ in terms of D, measured with the control system in the mid-travel position (see diagrams 2 and 3 in Appendix 1)
:
threshold force of control device — this is the maximum force on the coupling head which can be applied for a short period of time without producing any output force on the control device. By convention, K A is defined as the force measured when force begins to be exerted on the coupling head at a speed of from 10 to 15 mm/s, the control device transmission being uncoupled
:
this is the maximum force applied to the coupling head when it is forced rearward at a speed of s mm/s ± 10 %, the transmission being uncoupled
:
This is the maximum force applied to the coupling head when this is pulled forward at a speed of s mm/s ± 10 % from its rearmost position, the transmission being uncoupled
:
efficiency of the inertia control device
:
efficiency of the transmission system
:
travel of control (expressed in millimetres)
:
effective travel of control (expressed in millimetres) fixed in accordance with the requirements of point 9.4.1
:
spare travel of the master cylinder actuator, measured in millimetres at the coupling head
:
loss of travel, that is to say the travel, measured in millimetres, of the coupling head when it is actuated in such a way as to travel from a point 300 mm above the horizontal plane to a point 300 mm below, the transmission remaining stationary
:
brake-shoe lift measured on the diameter parallel to the operating mechanism and without the brakes being adjusted during the test (expressed in millimetres)
:
minimum brake shoe centre lift (minimum brake shoe application travel), in millimetres, for wheel brakes with drum brakes:
2r being the diameter of the brake drum expressed in millimetres (see diagram 4 in Appendix 1)
for wheel brakes with disc brakes with hydraulic transmission:
where:
V 60 = fluid volume absorption of one wheel brake at a pressure corresponding to a braking force of 1,2 1,2 B* = 0,6 × G Bo and a maximum tyre radius,
2r A = outer diameter of brake disc
(V 60 in cm 3 , F RZ in cm 2 and r A in mm)
:
braking moment
:
dynamic tyre rolling radius in metres, rounded to the nearest centimetre
:
number of brakes
:
application force at input side of the control device, at which the overload protector is activated
:
braking torque at which the overload protector is activated
:
reduction ratio between travel of the coupling head and travel of the lever at the output side of the control device
:
reduction ratio between travel of the lever at the output side of the control device and travel of the brake lever (gearing down of transmission)
:
reduction ratio between travel of the brake lever and the brake-shoe centre lift (see diagram 4 in Appendix 1)
:
force applied to the brake control lever
:
brake retraction force; that is, in the graph M = ƒ (P), the value of the force P at the point of intersection of the extrapolation of this function with the abscissa (see diagram 6 in Appendix 1)
:
reduction ratio between travel of the coupling head and travel of the piston in master cylinder
:
reduction ratio between travel of the actuation point of the cylinders and the brake-shoe centre lift
:
surface area of piston of one wheel cylinder for drum brake(s); for disc brake(s), sum of the surface area of the caliper piston(s) on one side of the disc
:
surface area of piston in master cylinder
:
hydraulic pressure in brake cylinder
:
retraction pressure in brake cylinder; that is, in the graph M = ƒ (p), the value of the pressure p at the point of intersection of the extrapolation of this function with the abscissa (see diagram 7 in Appendix 1)

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
