R55 | Session 12 | 14-15 Jan 2016

The most recent proposal was from Mr. Bröckling saying that all drawbar are subject to approval in accordance with regulation 55. No new facts had come to the table. Mr. Svensson was observing according to the earlier discussion on this subject that some drawbars will be hard to test. It might then be tempting to use a calculation based procedure for approval. That calls according to Mr. Svensson for a stricter handling of calculations. It was agreed to go forward with the proposal from Mr. Bröckling subject to the calculation procedures of Annex 6 §1.1. get stricter. It was also noted that. Next meeting.

We have not reached any common agreement on how to define a simple design. However we agreed that simple designs when handled through calculation procedures shall be evaluated according to an internationally recognized design code such as: EN 1993 Eurocode 3; DNV-RP-C203; NORSOK N004 … Next meeting.
