Description
of content: The draft Order
provides for the approval of the Requirements for Braking Systems for Type
Approval of Agricultural and Forestry Vehicles that fall under the scope of
the Technical Regulation on Types of Agricultural and Forestry Vehicles,
approved by Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 28 of 12
January 2024.
These
Requirements establish specific technical provisions and test procedures
regarding functional safety with respect to braking systems and include:
Requirements
applying to braking devices and trailer braking couplings;
Requirements
applying to testing and performance of braking systems and trailer braking
couplings and of vehicles fitted with them;
Requirements
applying to the measurement of the response time;
Requirements
applying to energy sources and energy storage devices of braking systems and
trailer braking couplings and to vehicles fitted with them;
Requirements
applying to spring brakes and to vehicles fitted with them;
Requirements
applying to parking braking systems equipped with a mechanical brake-cylinder
locking device;
Requirements
applying to the testing of inertia braking systems, braking devices and
trailer braking couplings and of vehicles fitted with them as regards
braking;
Requirements
applying to vehicles with hydrostatic drive and their braking devices and
braking systems;
Requirements
applying to the safety aspects of complex electronic vehicle control systems;
Requirements
applying to EBS of vehicles with compressed-air braking systems or of
vehicles with data communication via pin 6 and 7 of ISO 7638 connector and to
vehicles fitted with such EBS;
Requirements
applying to hydraulic connections of the single-line type and to vehicles
fitted with them.
The results
of conformity assessment with the specified requirements are applied for type
approval of agricultural and forestry vehicles, their systems, components,
and separate technical units in accordance with the above-mentioned Technical
Regulation.
The draft
Order specifies that the requirements for hydraulic connections of the
single-line type and the vehicles fitted with them, as set out in Annex 13 to
the Requirements for Braking Systems for Type Approval of Agricultural and
Forestry Vehicles, remain applicable until 31 December 2029.
The
Requirements have been developed based on Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2015/68 of 15 October 2014 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of
the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to vehicle braking
requirements for the approval of agricultural and forestry vehicles.
