(a). Braking of motor vehicles other than motor cycles with or without side-cars.
Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with brakes capable of controlling the movement of and of stopping the vehicle in an efficient, safe and rapid way under any conditions of loading on any up or down gradient on which the vehicle is operated.
The braking shall be operated by means of two devices so constructed that, in the event of failure of one of the braking devices, the other shall be capable of stopping the vehicle within a reasonable distance.
For the purpose of this Annex, one of these braking devices will be called the „service brake” and the other one the „parking brake”.
The parking brake shall be capable of being secured, even in the absence of the driver, by direct mechanical action.
Either means of operation shall be capable of applying braking force to wheels symmetrically placed on each side of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
The braking surfaces shall always be connected with the wheels of the vehicle in such a way that it is not possible to disconnect them otherwise than momentarily by means of a clutch, gear box or free wheel.
One at least of the braking devices shall be capable of acting on braking surfaces directly attached to the wheels of the vehicle or attached through parts not liable to failure.
(b). Braking of trailers.
Every trailer having a permissible maximum weight exceeding 750 kg (1650 lbs) shall be equipped with at least one braking device acting on wheels placed symmetrically on each side of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and acting on at least half the number of wheels.
The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall be required, however, in respect of trailers if the permissible maximum weight does not exceed 750 kg (1650 lbs) but exceeds one-half of the unladen weight of the drawing vehicle.
The braking device of trailers with a permissible maximum weight exceeding 3500 kg (7700 lbs) shall be capable of being operated by applying the service brake from the drawing vehicle. When the permissible maximum weight of the trailer does not exceed 3500 kg (7700 lbs) its braking device may be brought into action merely by the trailer moving upon the drawing vehicle (overrun braking).
The braking device of the trailer shall be capable of preventing the rotation of the wheels when the trailer is uncoupled.
Any trailer equipped with a brake shall be fitted with a device capable of automatically stopping the trailer if it becomes detached whilst in motion. This provision shall not apply to two-wheeled camping trailers or light luggage trailers whose weight exceeds 750 kg (1650 lbs) provided that they are equipped in addition to the main attachment with a secondary attachment which may be chain or a wire rope.
(c). Braking of articulated vehicles and combinations of motor vehicles and traillers.
(i) Articulated vehicles. The provisions of paragraph (a) of this Part shall apply to every articulated vehicle. A semi-trailer having a permissible maximum weight exceeding 750 kg (1650 lbs) shall be equipped with at least one braking device capable of being operated by applying the service brake from the drawing vehicle. The braking device of the semi-trailer shall, in addition, be capable of preventing the rotation of the wheels when the semi-trailer is uncoupled. When required by domestic regulations a semi-trailer equipped with a brake shall be fitted with a device capable of stopping automatically the semi-trailer if it becomes detached whilst in motion.
(ii) Combinations of motor vehicles and trailers Every combination of a motor vehicle and one or more trailers shall be equipped with brakes capable of controlling the movement of and of stopping the combination in an efficient, safe and rapid way under any conditions of loading on any up or down gradient on which it is operated.
(d). Braking of motor cycles with or without sidecars
Every motor cycle shall be equipped with two braking devices which may be operated by hand or foot, capable of controlling the movement of and of stopping the motor cycle in an efficient safe and rapid way.
