uniform method to calculate the average ground contact pressure, on a flat, solid road surface that will not allow for penetration in the supporting surface, of self-propelled and towed crawler (tracklaying) machines Actual ground pressure values under dynamic conditions will vary depending on load, track shoe type and size, and surface conditions See 4.4.2 for limit values of ground contact pressure B.2 Definitions B.2.1 Crawler base, L2 Distance on X coordinate between two X planes passing through the front idler axis and the sprocket (or rear idler) axis See Figure B.1 NOTE See ISO

ground contact pressure, PG – dual track systems The average ground contact pressure for dual track systems, the following equation: PG in kilopascals, shall be determined using 9.807 M PG = nt (TA ) where M = Operating mass according to ISO 6016, in kg nt = Number of full treads on the crawler base, L2 TA = Individual tread contact area, in mm2 B.3.2 Calculation of average ground contact pressure, PG – multi-track systems The calculation for ground contact pressure, PG , is the same as the calculation in B.3.1 but shall be done for each pair of track drives Operating mass, M , shall be calculated for each pair of tracks based on weight distribution for the machine e.g 35 % to the front and 65 % to the rear The two calculated PG values shall be within the limits set in 4.4.2 28 BS EN 15573:2008 EN 15573:2008 (E) Annex C (normative) Braking requirements C.1 Machines with a design speed ≤ 40 km/h Brake systems shall comply with the requirements of EN ISO 3450:1996 with the following modifications: In 7.6.1.1, the test speed shall be the maximum design speed of the machine ± km/h; in Table the service brake stopping distance performance shall be s ≤ 0,15v + v² 116 in Table the secondary brake stopping distance performance shall be s ≤ 0,3v + v² 58 Table as modified above applies for all machines (including machines designed for use on the road with load – dumpers) Tables 3, and 7.7 are not applicable Table C.1 — Performance requirements (informative) Maximum design speed ( v ) (km/h) v ≤ 20 Mean Fully Developed Deceleration (m/s²) 2,75 20 < v ≤ 30 3,16 30 < v ≤ 40 3,40 C.2 Machines with a design speed > 40 km/h Brake systems shall comply with the general requirements as defined in Clause of EN ISO 3450:1996 C.2.1 Test conditions The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions specified in Clause of EN ISO 3450:1996 C.2.2 Performance tests Performance of the braking system shall comply with 7.1 – 7.5 of EN ISO 3450:1996 The performance prescribed for braking systems shall be based on the stopping distance ( s ) and shall be determined by measuring the stopping distance in relation to the maximum design speed of the machine ( v ) The speed and distance shall be determined using instrumentation having an accuracy of ± % at the prescribed speed for the test The prescribed performance shall be obtained without deviation of the machine from its course, without abnormal vibrations and without wheel locking 29 BS EN 15573:2008 EN 15573:2008 (E) C.2.2.1 Cold test Beginning with cold brakes and repeated at normal operating temperature, the service and secondary brake system stopping distance tests shall be conducted twice while travelling forward, at maximum design speed of the machine ± km/h, once in each direction of the test course and with at least 10 between stops When reporting the test results, the stopping distance and machine speed shall be the average of the two tests (once in each direction of the test course) The service brake system shall stop the machine with a stopping distance NOTE s (metres) ≤ 0,15 v + v 2/130 Equivalent to a mean fully developed deceleration ≥ m/s² The secondary brake system shall slow the machine to a halt with a deceleration ≥ 50 % of the value prescribed for the service brake system The secondary braking effectiveness test shall be conducted by simulating the actual failure conditions in the service braking system C.2.2.2 Hot test The service brakes shall be applied and released to complete four consecutive stops at or as near as possible to the maximum deceleration of the machine without locking of the wheels After each stop, the maximum design speed of the machine ± km/h shall be regained as quickly as possible using maximum machine acceleration A fifth consecutive stop shall produce a hot performance ≥ 75 % of that prescribed, and ≥ 60 % of the value recorded during the cold test C.3 Machines with a hydrostatic drive system This requirement is applicable to machines when the hydrostatic drive acts as a brake system because: it cannot be disengaged during travel, or it engages automatically when the brake control is actuated (on a machine where the hydrostatic drive can be disengaged) If either of the above conditions is not met then the machine shall be tested in accordance with C.1 and C.2 as appropriate NOTE A hydrostatic drive system, used to both propel and retard a machine is recognised as a brake system, whether functioning alone or in combination with a friction brake C.3.1 General requirements The equipment providing service, secondary and parking braking may have common components, provided that they fulfil the following conditions: There shall be at least two controls, independent of each other and readily accessible to the driver from his normal driving position With the exception of a parking brake control (or that part of a combined control) when it is mechanically locked in an applied position, controls shall be designed such that they return to the fully-off position when released; where service and secondary braking systems have the same control, the linkage between that control and the various components of the transmission systems shall be made of metal or of a material with equivalent characteristics and shall not be subject to significant distortion in the normal operation of the braking equipment; 30 BS EN 15573:2008 EN 15573:2008 (E) where service and secondary braking systems have the same control, the parking braking system shall be so designed that it can be actuated when the machine is in motion This provision shall not apply where a secondary control permits at least partial actuation of the service braking system C.3.1.1 Service brake The service braking system shall enable the driver to control the movement of the machine and to halt it safely, speedily and effectively, on gradients and under speed/load conditions as foreseen by the manufacturer It shall be possible to modulate this braking action The driver must be able to apply the service brake whilst retaining control of the steering device on the machine with at least one hand The service brake of the machine may comprise right and left hand devices It must be possible to connect them up so that they can be actuated in a single operation, and possible to disconnect them again The driver must be able to verify easily from his driving place whether the devices are connected or not The devices must have a system of automatic adjustment enabling the balance of the brakes to be restored The service brake effect required under the regulation must be obtained by the operation of a single control This requirement is also deemed to be satisfied when: the foot is moved from the drive pedal to the brake pedal, or at the start of the braking sequence, the drive control is released or moved to neutral position by hand or foot The service brake control must be designed to return to the initial position automatically when released This does not apply to the hydrostatic section of the brake device when the release of the hydrostatic drive control creates the braking effect NOTE For machines with a maximum design speed ≤ 30 km/h, it is acceptable that a brake system (secondary or parking brake system) additional to the service brake is used to stop the machine when there is a residual creep speed C.3.1.2 Secondary brake system The secondary braking system shall make it possible to halt the machine within a reasonable distance in the event of the failure of the service braking system The driver shall be able to obtain this braking action whilst keeping at least one hand on the steering control For the purpose of these requirements, it is assumed that not more than one failure of the service braking system can occur at one time If, in the case of a hydrostatic drive, the machine cannot be stopped on a gradient, then it is permissible to operate the parking brake system to stop the machine from residual creep speed to standstill For this purpose the parking brake has to be designed that it is possible to be actuated during driving C.3.1.3 Parking brake system The parking braking system shall enable the machine to be held stationary on an up or down gradient of 18 % even in the absence of the driver, the working parts being then held in the locked position by a purely mechanical device The driver shall be able to achieve this braking action from his driving seat The trailer braking system and the parking braking system of the towing machine may be operated simultaneously, provided that the driver is able to check, at any time, that the parking brake performance of the machine combination, obtained by the purely mechanical action of the parking braking system, is sufficient C.3.2 Failure of the brakes Brake systems may use common components However, a failure of any single component other than a tyre, or a failure of any single common component, shall not reduce the effectiveness of the machine's stopping capability to less than the secondary performance, with one exception, a common control (lever, pedal, switch, 31 BS EN 15573:2008 EN 15573:2008 (E) etc.) may be used to actuate combined service and secondary brake systems provided that another dynamic braking capability is provided that will stop the machine within 120 % of the dynamic stopping distance shown for secondary brakes This braking capability may be applied automatically and without modulation C.3.3 Brake testing The tests shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions specified in Clause of EN ISO 3450:1996 Performance of the braking system shall comply with Clauses 7.1 – 7.5 of EN ISO 3450:1996 The performance prescribed for braking systems shall be based on the stopping distance (s) and shall be determined by measuring the stopping distance in relation to the maximum design speed of the machine (v) The speed and distance shall be determined using instrumentation having an accuracy of ± % at the prescribed speed for the test The prescribed performance shall be obtained without deviation of the machine from its course, without abnormal vibrations and without wheel locking During the brake test the drivability is to be assessed (e.g tendency for lifting the rear axle due to the braking action of the service brake): Lifting off the ground of an axle is permissible for machines with a maximum design speed ≥ 30 km/h at a deceleration exceeding 5,0 m/s², however the driving stability must be preserved Lifting of an axle is permissible for machines with a maximum design speed < 30 km/h at a deceleration exceeding 4,5 m/s², however the driving stability must be preserved C.3.3.1 Cold test Beginning with cold brakes, the service and secondary brake system stopping distance tests shall be conducted twice while travelling forward, once in each direction of the test course and with at least 10 between stops When reporting the test results, the stopping distance and machine speed shall be the average of the two tests (once in each direction of the test course) In the case of manually operated drive control, the performance of the service brake is assessed by moving the drive lever to neutral just before operating the service brake in order to ensure not to brake against the hydrostatic system The service brake system shall have a performance as specified in Table C.2 Table C.2 — Performance requirements Maximum design speed km/h Service brake s dm (informative) NOTE 32 dm = Mean Fully Developed Deceleration (m/s²) s = Stopping distance (m) v ≤ 12 ≤ 0,15v + v² 78 12 < v ≤ 30 ≤ 0,15v + v² 92 v > 30 ≤ 0,15v + v² 116 ≥ 3,4 BS EN 15573:2008 EN 15573:2008 (E) The secondary brake system shall slow the machine to a halt with a deceleration equal to at least to 50 % of the value prescribed for the service brake system The secondary brake system must be tested with the appropriate control device If it forms part of the service brake, then the latter must be modified and separated from the secondary brake, so that it can be operated alone C.3.3.2 Hot test (machines with a maximum design speed > 30 km/h only) The service brakes shall be applied and released to complete four consecutive stops at or as near as possible to the maximum deceleration of the machine without locking of the wheels After each stop, the maximum design speed of the machine ± km/h shall be regained as quickly as possible using maximum machine acceleration A fifth consecutive stop shall produce a hot performance ≥ 75 % of that prescribed, and ≥ 60 % of the value recorded during the cold test The hot test can be omitted if overheating of the brakes in case of permanent operation is prevented C.3.4 Machine recovery To facilitate machine recovery, a device is required disengaging the connection between engine and drive wheels It must be impossible to operate this device from the driving position during travel on the road If a tool is needed to operate this device, it must be carried on the machine 33 BS EN 15573:2008 EN 15573:2008 (E) Annex D (informative) Equivalent requirements In

permits, more yellow flashing lamps (rotating lamps): Vehicles that are used for the construction, maintenance or cleaning of roads or highway equipment or vehicles used for refuse collection and which are marked by red-and-white warning signs (safety marking) that must comply with Standard DIN 30710, March 1990, … Explanation 36 No identification lamps for flashing yellow light on road construction equipment The vehicles listed in Section 52 Paragraph which may be equipped with identification lamps for flashing yellow light are vehicles of which the operating area is in the traffic area on roads and which, when operating, cause an obstruction to the normal flow of traffic The identification lamps are intended to indicate visually to road users that this obstruction exists, so that they can adjust their driving accordingly, in good time At road construction sites traffic is warned by signs and barricades There can thus be no question of equipping vehicles and equipment used on construction sites with signal lamps for flashing yellow light, as they could confuse road users and thus impair road safety (1969) 4.12.1 Belgium (Royal order of March 15, 1968 – General regulation on technical conditions to be met by motor vehicles, their trailers and safety accessories – Article 28) Section – a) Lamps and Reflex Reflectors other than Direction Indicators Vehicles
