Proposal for Supplement 7 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 55

Proposal for:

  1. An amendment for the separation of the procedures to verify towable mass from the procedure of setting and certifying performance values;
  2. An amendment that adds procedures to verify towable mass for vehicle combinations that have hitherto not been accounted for in the Regulation;
  3. Amendments that adds integrated fixing points for secondary couplings;
  4. An amendment that clarifies the procedure to identify worst cases for certification testing;
  5. Amendments that removes typos in the current Regulation.
Please note that, under paragraph 3.4 regarding “Combination 4”, the Clevis coupling formula should read “DC” rather than “D” as shown.
