Směrnice Rady 93/14/EHS

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

ze dne 5. dubna 1993

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof,

o brzdových systémech dvoukolových a tříkolových motorových vozidel

Having regard to Council Directive 92/61/EEC of 30 June 1992 relating to the type-approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles(1) ,

RADA EVROPSKÝCH SPOLEČENSTVÍ,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(2) ,

s ohledem na Smlouvu o založení Evropského hospodářského společenství, a zejména na článek 100a této smlouvy,

In cooperation with the European Parliament(3) ,

s ohledem na směrnici Rady 92/61/EHS ze dne 30. června 1992 o schvalování typu dvoukolových a tříkolových motorových vozidel [1],

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(4) ,

s ohledem na návrh Komise [2],

Whereas measures should be adopted which are intended gradually to establish the internal market within a period expiring on 31 December 1992; whereas the internal market comprises an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured;

ve spolupráci s Evropským parlamentem [3],

Whereas, with regard to braking, in each Member State two or three-wheel vehicles must display certain technical characteristics laid down by mandatory provisions which differ from one Member State to another; whereas, as a result of their differences, such provisions constitute barriers to trade within the Community;

s ohledem na stanovisko Hospodářského a sociálního výboru [4],

Whereas these barriers to the establishment and operation of the internal market may be removed if the same requirements are adopted by all the Member States in place of their national rules;

vzhledem k tomu, že je třeba přijmout opatření, jejichž cílem je postupné vytvoření vnitřního trhu do 31. prosince 1992; že vnitřní trh zahrnuje prostor bez vnitřních hranic, v němž je zajištěn volný pohyb zboží, osob, služeb a kapitálu;

Whereas it is necessary to draw up harmonized requirements concerning the braking of two or three-wheel motor vehicles in order to enable the type-approval and component type-approval procedures laid down in Directive 92/61/EEC to be applied for each type of such vehicle;

vzhledem k tomu, že z hlediska brzdových systémů musí mít dvoukolová a tříkolová vozidla v každém členském státu určité technické vlastnosti vymezené povinnými požadavky, jež se v jednotlivých členských státech liší; že v důsledku odlišností představují tyto požadavky překážky obchodu ve Společenství;

Whereas in order to facilitate access to the markets of non-Community countries it is necessary to establish equivalence between the requirements of this Directive and those of United Nations ECE Regulation No 78,

vzhledem k tomu, že tyto překážky vytvoření a fungování vnitřního trhu lze odstranit tím, že všechny členské státy zavedou stejné požadavky namísto svých stávajících vnitrostátních předpisů;

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

vzhledem k tomu, že je nutné vypracovat harmonizované požadavky na brzdové systémy dvoukolových a tříkolových motorových vozidel, aby bylo možno použít u všech typů vozidel postupy schválení typu a dílčího schválení typu zavedené směrnicí 92/61/EHS;

vzhledem k tomu, že k usnadnění přístupu na trhy států, které nejsou členy Společenství, je nutné dosáhnout rovnocennosti požadavků této směrnice s požadavky předpisu EHK OSN č. 78,

2.2.8. In braking devices where the transmission is hydraulic, the receptables containing the reserve fluid must be so designed and constructed that the level of the reserve fluid can be easily checked.

This provision does not apply to mopeds with a maximum speed of 25 km/h or lower.

Appendix 1 Braking tests and performance of braking devices

1. BRAKING TESTS

1.1. General

1.1.1. The performance prescribed for braking devices is based on the stopping distance. The performance of a braking device is determined either by measuring the stopping distance in relation to the initial speed or by the response time of the device and the mean fully-developed deceleration.

1.1.2. The stopping distance is the distance covered by the vehicle from the moment when the driver begins to actuate the control of the device until the moment when the vehicle stops. The initial speed is the speed at the moment when the driver begins to actuate the control of the device. In the formula given below, for measurement of braking performance:

V= initial speed in kilometres per hour, and

S= stopping distance, in metres.

1.1.3. For component type-approval, the braking performance must be measured during road tests conducted under the following conditions:

1.1.3.1. the vehicle's condition as regards its mass must be as prescribed for each type of test and must be specified in the test report;

1.1.3.2. the test must be carried out at the speed and in the manner prescribed for each type of test: if the maximum speed of the vehicle does not conform to the speed prescribed, the test must be carried out under the special alternative conditions provided;

1.1.3.3. the prescribed performance must be obtained without locking of the wheel(s), without deviation of the vehicle from its course, and without any abnormal vibration;

1.1.3.4. during the tests the force applied to the brake control in order to obtain the prescribed performance must not exceed the maximum laid down for the test vehicle's category.

1.1.4. Test conditions

1.1.4.1. The service braking tests must be carried out under the following conditions:

1.1.4.1.1. at the start of the test or any series of tests the tyres must be cold and at the pressure prescribed for the load actually borne by the wheels when the vehicle is stationary;

1.1.4.1.2. the vehicle must be loaded, when required to be tested in the laden condition, with the load distributed in accordance with the manufacturer's prescription;

1.1.4.1.3. for all the type-0 tests the brakes must be cold: a brake is deemed to be cold when the temperature measured on the disc or on the outside of the drum is less than 100 °C;

1.1.4.1.4. the driver must shall be seated on the saddle as for normal driving and must maintain the same position throughout the test;

1.1.4.1.5. the test area must be level, dry and have a surface affording good adhesion;

1.1.4.1.6. the test must be performed when there is no wind liable to affect the test result.

1.2. Type-0 test (performance test with brakes cold)

1.2.1. General

1.2.1.1. The limits prescribed for service braking performance are as laid down for each category of vehicle.

1.2.2. Type-0 test with engine disconnected

1.2.2.1. The test must be carried out at the speed prescribed for the category to which the vehicle belongs, the figures prescribed in this connection being subject to a certain margin of tolerance.

In the case of vehicles where the two service brakes can be applied separately, the braking devices must be tested separately. The minimum performance for each braking device for each category of vehicle must be attained.

1.2.2.1.1. In the case of a vehicle with a manual gearbox or an automatic transmission where the gearbox can be disengaged manually, the tests must be carried out with the gearbox inoperative and/or the engine disconnected by clutch disengagement or otherwise.

1.2.2.1.2. In the case of a vehicle with other types of automatic transmission, the tests must be carried out under the normal operating conditions.

1.2.3. Type-0 test with engine connected for motorcycles (with or without sidecar) and trycicles

1.2.3.1. Tests must be carried out in the unladen condition at various speeds, the lowest being equal to 30 % of the maximum speed of the vehicle and the highest being equal to 80 % of that speed or 160 km/h, whichever is the lower.

The maximum practical performance figures are measured and together with the behaviour of the vehicle must be recorded in the test report. In the case where two service braking devices can be applied separately, both devices must be tested together and simultaneously, with the vehicle unladen.

1.2.4. Type-0 test with engine disconnected: with wet brakes

1.2.4.1. This test must (subject to the exemption contained in 1.3.1) be carried out on mopeds and motorcylces (but not tricycles). The test procedure is identical to that for the type-0 test with engine disconnected, except for the provisions for wetting the brakes described in 1.3.

1.3. Special provisions relating to testing with wet brakes

1.3.1. Enclosed brakes: it is not necessary to carry out this series of type-0 tests on vehicles equipped with conventional drum brakes or with fully enclosed brakes which are not subject to water penetration under normal running conditions.

1.3.2. The test with brakes subject to wetting must be carried out under the same conditions as the test with dry brakes. There must be no adjustment or alteration of the braking device other than fitting the equipment to allow brake wetting.

1.3.3. The test equipment must continuously wet the brakes for each test run at a flow rate of 15 l/h for each brake. Two disc brakes on one wheel will be considered as two brakes.

1.3.4. For exposed or partly exposed disc brakes, the prescribed amount of water must be directed on to the rotating disc in such a manner that it is equally distributed on the surface or surfaces of the disc swept by the friction pad or pads.

1.3.4.1. For fully exposed disc brakes, the water must be directed on to the surface(s) of the disc 45° in advance of the friction pad(s).

1.3.4.2. For partly exposed disc brakes, the water must be directed on to the surface(s) of the disc 45° in advance of the shield or baffle.

1.3.4.3. The water must be directed on to the surface(s) of the disc(s) in a continuous jet, in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the disc, from single jet nozzles so positioned as to be between the inner extremity and a point two-thirds of the distance from the outer extremity of that part of the disc swept by the friction pad(s) (see Figure 1).

1.3.5. For fully enclosed disc brakes, where the provisions of 1.3.1 do not apply, the water must be directed on to both sides of the shield or baffle at a point and in a manner corresponding with that described in 1.3.4.1 and 1.3.4.3. Where the nozzle would be coincident with a ventilation or inspection port, the water must be applied one quarter of a revolution in advance of the said port.

1.3.6. Where in 1.3.3 and 1.3.4, it is not possible to apply the water in the position specified owing to the presence of some fixed part of the vehicle, the water must be applied at the first point, exceeding 45° where uninterrupted application is possible.

1.3.7. For drum brakes, where the requirements of 1.3.1 do not apply, the prescribed amount of water must be distributed equally on either side of the braking device (that is, on the stationary back plate and the rotating drum) from nozzles so positioned as to be two-thirds of the distance from the outer circumference of the rotating drum to the wheel hub.

1.3.8. Subject to the requirements of 1.3.7 and to the requirement that no nozzle shall be within 15° of or coincident with a ventilation or inspection port on the stationary back plate, the test equipment for drum brakes shall be so positioned as to obtain the optimum uninterrupted application of water.

1.3.9. To ensure the correct wetting of the brake(s), the vehicle must be driven, immediately before the commencement of the test series:

- with the wetting equipment functioning continuously, as prescribed in this Appendix,

- at the prescribed test speed,

- without the operation of the braking device(s) to be tested,

- for a distance of no less than 500 m prior to the point at which the test is to be carried out.

1.3.10. For rim brakes, as fitted to some mopeds with a maximum speed of 25 km/h or lower, the water must be directed on to the wheel rim as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 1 Method of water application for disc brakes Figure 2 Method of water application for rim brakes 1.4. Type-I test (fade test)

1.4.1. Special provisions

1.4.1.1. The service brakes of all motorcycles (with or without sidecar) and tricycles must be tested by a series of repeated stops, the vehicle being in the laden condition, in accordance with the requirements set out below. For vehicles equipped with a combined braking system, it is sufficient to submit this service braking device to the type-I test.

1.4.1.2. The type-I test is carried out in three parts.

1.4.1.2.1. A single type-0 test as prescribed by 2.1.2 or 2.2.3.1.

1.4.1.2.2. A series of 10 repeated stops carried out in accordance with the requirements of point 1.4.2.

1.4.1.2.3. A single type-0 test, carried out as soon as possible after the completion of the test specified in 1.4.1.2.2 and in any case within one minute thereof, and performed under the same conditions as those used for the test in 1.4.1.2.1, in particular at a control force as constant as possible with a mean value not exceeding the mean force actually used in that test.

1.4.2. Test conditions

1.4.2.1. The vehicle and the brake(s) to be tested must be substantially free from moisture and the brake(s) cold (& le; 100 °C).

1.4.2.2. The initial test speed is:

1.4.2.2.1. for testing the front brake(s), whichever is the lower of 70 % of the vehicle's maximum speed and 100 km/h;

1.4.2.2.2. for testing the rear brake(s), whichever is the lower of 70 % of the vehicle's maximum speed and 80 km/h;

1.4.2.2.3. for testing a combined braking system, whichever is the lower of 70 % of the vehicle's maximum speed and 100 km/h.

1.4.2.3. The distance between the initiation of one stop and the initiation of the next shall be 1 000 metres.

1.4.2.4. The use of the gearbox and/or clutch is as follows:

1.4.2.4.1. In the case of a vehicle with a manual gearbox or an automatic transmission where the gearbox can be disengaged manually, the highest gear, consistent with attaining the initial test speed, must be engaged during the stops.

When the vehicle speed has fallen to 50 % of the initial test speed, the engine must be disengaged.

1.4.2.4.2. In the case of a vehicle with a fully automatic transmission, the test must be carried out under the normal operating conditions for such equipment.

For the approach, the gear suitable to the initial test speed must be used.

1.4.2.5. After each stop, the vehicle must immediately be subjected to maximum acceleration to reach the initial test speed and maintained at that speed until the initiation of the next stop. If appropriate, the vehicle may be turned round on the test track before acceleration.

1.4.2.6. The force applied to the control shall be so adjusted as to maintain a mean deceleration of 3 m/s2 or the maximum deceleration achievable with that brake, whichever is the lower, at the first stop: this force must remain constant throughout the succeeding stops required by 1.4.1.2.2.

1.4.3. Residual performance

1.4.3.1. At the end of the type-I test the residual performance of the service braking device must be measured in the same conditions (and in particular at a control force as constant as possible with a mean value not exceeding the mean force actually used) as for the type-0 test with the engine disconnected (the temperature conditions may be different).

1.4.3.2. This residual performance must not be:

1.4.3.2.1. if expressed as a deceleration, less than 60 % of the deceleration figure achieved during the type-0 test;

or

1.4.3.2.2. if expressed as a stopping distance, more than the stopping distance figure, calculated in accordance with the following formula;

where:

S1 = the stopping distance achieved in the type-0 test,

S2 = the stopping distance as recorded in the residual performance test,

Appendix 2 Requirements applicable to two-wheel mopeds, two-wheel motorcycles and tricycles equipped with anti-lock devices

1. GENERAL

1.1. The purpose of these provisions is to define the minimum performances for braking systems with anti-lock devices fitted to two-wheel mopeds, two-wheel motorcycles and tricycles. This does not make it compulsory to fit vehicles with an anti-lock device but if such devices are fitted to a vehicle they must meet the requirements below.

1.2. The devices known at present comprise a sensor or sensors, a controller or controllers and a modulator or modulators. Any devices of a different design will be deemed to be anti-lock devices within the meaning of this Appendix if they provide performances at least equal to those prescribed by this Appendix.

2. DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of this Appendix:

2.1. Anti-lock device

means a component of a service braking system which automatically controls the degree of slip, in the direction of rotation of the wheel(s) on one or more wheels of the vehicle during braking.

2.2. Sensor

means a component designed to identify and transmit to the controller the conditions of rotation of the wheel(s) or the dynamic conditions of the vehicle.

2.3. Controller

means a component designed to evaluate the data transmitted by the sensor(s) and to transmit a signal to the modulator.

2.4. Modulator

means a component designed to vary the braking force(s) in accordance with the signal received from the controller.

3. NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SYSTEM

3.1. Each controlled wheel must be such that it can bring at least its own device into operation.

3.2. Any break in the supply of electricity to the device and/or in the wiring external to the electronic controller(s) must be signalled to the driver by an optical warning signal, which must be visible even in daylight; it must be easy for the driver to check that it is in working order(6) .

3.3. In the event of a failure in an anti-lock device, the braking efficiency of the laden vehicle must not be less than that prescribed for whichever is the lower of the two requirements for the vehicle defined in 2.1.2.2 or 2.1.2.3 of Appendix 1.

3.4. The operation of the device must not be affected adversely by electro-magnetic fields(7) .

3.5. Anti-lock devices must maintain their performance when the brake is fully applied for the duration of any stop.

4. UTILIZATION OF ADHESION

4.1. General

4.1.1. In the case of two-wheel motorcycles and tricycles, braking systems equipped with an anti-lock device are deemed acceptable when the condition

e

is satisfied where e represents the adhesion utilized as defined in the addendum to this Appendix(8) .

4.1.2. The coefficient of adhesion utilization e must be measured on road surfaces with a coefficient of adhesion not exceeding 0,45 and of not less than 0,8.

4.1.3. Tests must be carried out with the vehicle unladen.

4.1.4. The test procedure to determine the coefficient of adhesion (K) and the formula for calculating the adhesion utilization (e) are as prescribed in the addendum to this Appendix.

5. ADDITIONAL CHECKS

5.1. The following additional checks must be carried out with the vehicle unladen.

5.1.1. Any wheel controlled by an anti-lock device must not lock when the full force(9) is suddenly applied to its control device, on the two kinds, of road surface specified in 4.1.2 at initial speeds of up to 0,8 Vmax but not exceeding 80 km/h(10) .

5.1.2. Where a wheel controlled by an anti-lock device passes from a high-adhesion surface or a low-adhesion surface as described in 4.1.2 with the full force(11) applied to the control device, the wheel must not lock. The running speed and the instant of applying the brakes must be so calculated that, with the anti-lock device fully cycling on the high-adhesion surface, the passage from one surface to the other is made at about 0,5 Vmax not exceeding 50 km/h.

5.1.3. Where a vehicle passes from a low-adhesion surface to a high-adhesion surface as described in 4.1.2 with the full force(12) applied to the control device, the deceleration of the vehicle must rise to the appropriate high value within a reasonable time and the vehicle must not deviate from its initial course. The running speed and the instant of applying the brakes must be so calculated that, with the anti-lock device fully cycling on the low-adhesion surface, the passage from one surface to the other occurs at about 0,5 Vmax not exceeding 50 km/h.

5.1.4. Where both independent braking devices are equipped with an anti-lock device the tests prescribed in 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 must also be performed using both independent braking devices together, the stability of the vehicle being maintained at all times.

5.1.5. However, in the tests provided for in 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.1.3 and 5.1.4, periods of wheel locking or of extreme wheel slip are allowed provided that the stability of the vehicle is not adversely affected. Below vehicle speeds of 10 km/h wheel locking is permitted.

e Addendum 1. DETERMINATION OF THE COEFFICIENT OF ADHESION (K)

1.1. The coefficient of adhesion is determined from the maximum braking rate, without wheel lock, of the vehicle with the anti-lock device(s) disconnected and braking all wheels simultaneously(13) .

1.2. The braking tests are carried out by applying the brakes at an initial speed of 60 km/h (or, in the case of vehicles which are unable to reach 60 km/h, a speed of roughly 0,9 Vmax), the vehicle being unladen (apart from the test instruments and/or the necessary safety equipment). The effort exerted on the brake control must be constant throughout the tests.

1.3. A series of tests may be carried out up to the critical point reached immediately before the wheel(s) lock by varying both the front and the rear brake forces, in order to determine the maximum braking rate of the vehicle(14) .

1.4. The braking rate (Z) shall be determined by reference to the time taken for the speed of the vehicle to reduce from 40 km/h to 20 km/h, using the formula

where t is measured in seconds.

Alternatively, for vehicles unable to attain 50 km/h, the braking rate is determined by reference to the time taken for the speed of the vehicle to reduce from 0,8 Vmax to 0,8 Vmax - 20 where Vmax is measured in km/h.

The maximum value of Z = K.

2. DETERMINATION OF THE ADHESION UTILIZATION (e).

2.1. The adhesion utilized is defined as the quotient of the maximum braking rate with the anti-lock device in operation (Zmax) and the maximum braking rate with the anti-lock disconnected (Zm). Separate tests must be carried out on each wheel equipped with an anti-lock device.

2.2. Zmax is calculated on the on the basis of the average of the three tests, using the time taken for the speed of the vehicle to achieve the reductions in speed specified in 1.4.

2.3. The adhesion utilized is given by the formula
