CITA Recommendation no.8: Brakes
The purpose of the new updated CITA Recommendation no.8 on brakes is to specify top-level test methods, alternatives, and equipment for assessing the required safety of vehicle braking systems.
This document is based on the requirements regarding braking systems of the European Union Directive 2014/45/EU on periodic roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers, and it takes account of the ISO standard for roller brake testers, supplement 07 to UNECE Regulation 13.09 concerning reference brake forces for periodic technical inspections, and the outcome of the CITA ECSS Project.
This recommendation was first developed by the CITA Working Group 1 and concluded by the successor Task Force Brakes.
