Proposal to amend para. 2.8 of Annex 8 to add a new requirement that braking forces from combined service and parking braking systems shall hold a laden trailer as required in Annex 4 para. 3.2.1 at any time when service brake energy reservoir pressure reduces from 850 kPa to 0 kPa, ensuring continuous trailer immobilisation during service brake pressure depletion while establishing a performance-based requirement rather than prescribing specific technical solutions.

Proposal to amend Annex 8, para. 3.4.1. to require that the strategy chosen shall not prejudice safe operation of the system due to failures with other systems involved in achieving the function of the system, and amend Annex 8, para. 3.4.4. to require that analysis of system behaviour on fault occurrence includes faults with other systems involved in achieving the function of the system, and to correct ‘safetys’ to ‘safety’. The proposal addresses a collision where tyre failure resulted in unsafe ABS activation. Although the 02 series clarified ABS as part of electronic control systems assessment, it does not explicitly state what is covered, potentially missing relevant faults or failures influencing system function. The additions ensure all relevant faults or failures are accounted for in manufacturers’ safety concept and analysis.
