As a code of practice, this British
8、 Standard takes the form of guidance and recommendations. It should not be quoted as if it were a specification and particular care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are not misleading. EEC Directive 71/320/EEC, Braking requirements and EEC Regulation No. 13, requires the fitting o
9、f a breakaway cable or secondary coupling on all trailers up to a maximum gross weight of 3500 kg. It is now also a requirement of the Construction and Use Regulations that such a device is positively attached to a towing vehicle. A British Standard does not purport to include all necessary provisio
10、ns of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii, pages 1 and 2, an i
11、nside back cover and a back cover.

12、nd their attachment points, for light trailers or caravans up to a mass of 3 500 kg. It applies to trailers which do not have brakes or have overrun or inertia type braking systems only. 2 Terms and definitions 2.1 breakaway cable cable between the towing vehicle and the trailer including its fitmen
13、ts which, in the event of separation of the main coupling, activates the braking mechanism of the trailer 2.2 secondary coupling coupling device between the trailer and towing vehicle which, upon separation of the main coupling, ensures that the two vehicles remain connected, prevents the nose of th
14、e drawbar touching the ground and provides residual steering for the trailer 2.3 attachment point fitting (e.g. closed hole, loop or eyelet) provided for the attachment of a breakaway cable or secondary coupling to the towing vehicle 2.4 coupling device, usually made in two parts, which connects the
15、 trailer to the towing vehicle NOTEIt allows for movement, in all axes, of the two vehicles and withstands the applied static and dynamic loads during loading and operation. Typical examples are a coupling head and towball or towing eye and jaw. 3 Application Trailers with a mass of up to 3 500 kg s
16、hould be fitted with either a breakaway cable or a secondary coupling. Trailers without brakes should have a maximum mass of 750 kg and should be fitted with a secondary coupling. It is recommended that trailers with brakes should be fitted with a breakaway cable. 4 Design 4.1 Breakaway cable The br
17、eakaway cable should be capable of applying a sufficient load to the braking system operating mechanism to hold the trailer on at least 18 % gradient at its maximum permissible trailer mass. Upon operation of the breakaway cable, the trailer should be brought to a halt without causing damage to the
18、braking system components as a result of the application of too great an operating force. The breakaway cable should part after application of the trailer brakes either by reason of its ultimate strength or by means of a weak link inserted for this purpose. The cable should be provided with a device
19、 capable of permitting attachment to the attachment point and withstanding the applied loads without failure unless it provides the stress limit feature. The breakaway cable should have sufficient length to enable attachment to be made with the vehicle in any normal towing position without risk of i
20、nadvertent brake application or coming into contact with the ground. In order to ensure the compatibility of the breakaway cable with the braking system only the trailer manufacturers original equipment cable or equivalent should be used. 4.2 Secondary couplings Secondary couplings used for the rete
21、ntion of trailers in the event of main coupling separation should be designed to have an ultimate tensile strength of equivalent to at least twice the maximum permissible mass of the trailer. 5 Attachment 5.1 General The breakaway cable or secondary coupling should be attached to the towbar in accor
22、dance with 5.2 or 5.3. NOTEThe preferred method is by direct attachment, see 5.2. 5.2 Direct attachment The sprung hook or clip on the end of the breakaway cable or secondary coupling should be attached directly to, or through, an attachment point on the towing vehicle. 5.3 Looped over attachment Th
