2.12 Road Clearance:
The road Clearance for the purpose of this Pakistan Standard shall be defined as the height of any

road clearance is to be measured using laden vehicle with standard vehicle equipment .Road
clearance may not be affected by the differential or any such part of the vehicle that does not
create any hindrance in crossing a conventional speed breaker due to the height provided by tires
while crossing such surfaces .
2.13 REQUIREMENTS FOR EMISSION
The requirements for emission shall be met in accordance with EPA Standards for vehicular
exhaust & noise, as well as the level of sound emitted from the vehicle horn as mentioned in
Table-1.

(b) Vehicles equipped for disabled riders.
2. DEFINITIONS: For the purposes of this Standard:

modulates the pressure producing the braking forces at the wheel(s) to limit the degree of
wheel slip.
2.2. "Approval of a vehicle" means the approval of a vehicle type with regard to braking.
2.3. "Baseline test" means a stop or a series of stops carried out in order to confirm the performance
of the brake prior to subjecting it to a further test such as the heating procedure or wet brake
stop.
2.4. "Brake" means those parts of the brake system where the forces opposing the movement of the
vehicle are developed.
2.5. "Brake system" means the combination of parts consisting of the control, transmission, and
brake, but excluding the engine, whose function it is to progressively reduce the speed of a
moving vehicle, bring it to a halt, and keep it stationary when halted.
2.6. "Combined brake system (CBS)" means:
For vehicle categories L2, L4, and L5: a service brake system where at least two brakes on
different wheels are operated by the actuation of a single control.
For vehicle categories L5, L6 and L7: a service brake system where the brakes on all wheels
are operated by the actuation of a single control.
2.7. "Components of the braking system" means one of the individual parts which, when
assembled, constitutes the braking system.
2.8. "Control" means the part actuated directly by the rider in order to supply or control the energy
required for braking the vehicle to the transmission.

2.9. "Different types of braking systems" means devices which differ in such essential respects as:
(a) Components having different characteristics;
(b) A component made of materials having different characteristics, or a
component differing in shape or size;
(c) A different assembly of the components.
2.10. "Driver mass" means the nominal mass of a driver that shall be 75 kg (subdivided
into 68 kg occupant mass at the seat and 7 kg luggage mass).
2.11. "Engine disconnected" means when the engine is no longer connected to the driving
wheel(s).
2.12. "Gross vehicle mass" or "maximum mass" means the technically permissible
maximum laden mass as declared by the manufacturer.
2.13. "Initial brake temperature" means the temperature of the hottest brake before any
brake application.
2.14. "Laden" means so loaded as to attain the gross vehicle mass as defined in
paragraph 2.12.
2.15. "Lightly loaded" means mass in running order plus 15 kg for test equipment, or the
laden condition, whichever is less.
2.16. "Mass in running order" means the sum of the un-laden vehicle mass and driver
mass.
2.17. "Peak braking coefficient (PBC)" means the measure of tyre to road surface friction
based on the maximum deceleration of a rolling tyre.
2.18. "Power-assisted braking system" means a brake system in which the energy
necessary to produce the braking force is supplied by the physical effort of the rider
assisted by one or more energy supplying devices, for example vacuum assisted
(with vacuum booster).
2.19. "Secondary brake system" means the second service brake system on a vehicle
equipped with a combined brake system.
2.20. "Service brake system" means a brake system which is used for slowing the vehicle

2.22. "Split service brake system (SSBS)" means a brake system that operates the brakes
on all wheels, consisting of two or more subsystems actuated by a single control
designed so that a single failure in any subsystem (such as a leakage type failure of a
hydraulic subsystem) does not impair the operation of any other subsystem.
2.23. "Stopping distance" means the distance travelled by the vehicle from the point the rider begins
to actuate the brake control to the point at which the vehicle reaches a full stop. For tests
where the simultaneous actuation of two controls is specified, the distance travelled is taken

2.24. "Test speed" means the vehicle speed measured the moment the driver begins to actuate the
brake control(s). For tests where the simultaneous actuation of two controls is specified, the
vehicle speed is taken from the point the first control is actuated.

between the control and the brake.
2.26. "Unladen vehicle mass" means the nominal mass of the vehicle as indicated by the
manufacturer(s) including all factory fitted equipment for normal operation of that vehicle
(e.g. fire extinguisher, tools, spare wheel), plus coolant, oils, 90 per cent of fuel and 100 per
cent of other gas or liquids, as specified by the manufacturer.

3.3.2 Stopping distance:
Based on the basic equations of motion:
S = 0.1·V + (X) ·V2
Where:
S = stopping distance in metres
V = vehicle speed in km/h
X = a variable based on the requirement for each test
To calculate the corrected stopping distance using the actual vehicle test speed, the
following formula is used:
Ss = 0.1·Vs + (Sa – 0.1·Va) · Vs2/Va
2
Where:
Ss = corrected stopping distance in metres
Vs = specified vehicle test speed in km/h
Sa = actual stopping distance in metres
Va = actual vehicle test speed in km/h
Note: This equation is only valid when the actual test speed (Va) is within ± 5 km/h of the
specified test speed (Vs).
3.3.3 Continuous deceleration recording:
For the burnishing procedure and tests such as the wet brake and heat fade – heating
procedure, there is a continuous recording of the vehicle's instantaneous deceleration from
the moment a force is applied to the end of the stop.
3.4 Brake lining materials:
Brake linings shall not contain asbestos.

required to undergo, and the braking performance required, as prescribed here under:

6.1.6.1 Decelero meters should be installed on test vehicle properly such that its position is not
likely to be disturbed during tests. This shall be fitted as close to centre of gravity of
vehicle as possible in longitudinal and lateral plane. Before commencement of each run,
leveling of instrument within the limits prescribed by the instrument manufacturer shall
be ensured.
The accuracy of the instrument for deceleration should be within ± 3 per cent
6.1.6.2 For calculating mean fully developed deceleration/mean deceleration, it is essential that
graph of deceleration is fairly uniform. It is not possible to lay down norms for steady
features of this graph as this is influenced by many testing factors, mainly response of the
rider. Hence, general engineering should be followed. The graph illustrated in Fig. 3 is
typically valid graph and the graph illustrated in Fig. 4 shall be considered invalid.
Methods of calculations of deceleration are also illustrated in Fig. 3.

6.1.8 Instrument for Speed Measurement
6.1.8.1 While measuring stopping distance by instruments specified in 6.1.5, speed is also
measured by these systems.
6.1.8 A proper fixture need to be designed to measure the force applied on the brake paddle.
One way is to install force sensor other way is using pressure sensor and distance
measuring device.
6.1.8.2 While measuring deceleration, a speedometer may be used. This may be the one fitted
on the vehicle. Appropriate temporary marking shall be made on the dial of
speedometer in such a way that the actual speed of the vehicle. Measuring tolerance
should be within a limit of +1 km/h of the specified initial speed. There shall be
suitable markings for all necessary test speeds.
