Legislation originating from the EU
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.

Changes to Legislation
Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
6.2.Type-0 testU.K.
6.2.1.GeneralU.K.
6.2.1.1.The brake shall be cold. A brake is deemed to be cold when the conditions as specified in point 2.2.1.1 of Annex II are met.U.K.
6.2.1.2.The test shall be conducted under the conditions as specified in point 2.2.1.3 of Annex II.U.K.
6.2.1.3.The road shall be level.U.K.
6.2.2.In the case of manually operated drive control device (Class I and Class II vehicles), the performance of the service brake shall be assessed by moving the drive lever to neutral just before operating the service brake in order to ensure not to brake against the hydrostatic system. [F1In the case of Class III vehicles this sequence shall be automatic, using only the service brake control device.] U.K.Textual Amendments
F1
Substituted by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1788 of 14 July 2016 amending Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of requirements for vehicle EU type-approval, and amending and correcting Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) No 1322/2014, (EU) 2015/96, (EU) 2015/68 and (EU) 2015/208 with regard to vehicle construction and general requirements, to environmental and propulsion unit performance requirements, to vehicle braking requirements and to vehicle functional safety requirements (Text with EEA relevance).
Textual Amendments
F1 Substituted by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1788 of 14 July 2016 amending Regulation (EU) No 167/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of requirements for vehicle EU type-approval, and amending and correcting Commission Delegated Regulations (EU) No 1322/2014, (EU) 2015/96, (EU) 2015/68 and (EU) 2015/208 with regard to vehicle construction and general requirements, to environmental and propulsion unit performance requirements, to vehicle braking requirements and to vehicle functional safety requirements (Text with EEA relevance).
6.2.3.Service braking systemU.K.
The limits prescribed for minimum performance, both for tests with the vehicle unladen and for tests with the vehicle laden, are those laid down in point 6.3 for each class of vehicle.
The service braking system has to meet the requirements in point 6.3.1.
When used as a service braking system,
6.2.3.1.a combination hydrostatic braking system shall also meet the requirements with regard to the minimum braking portion of friction brake(s) as specified in point 6.3.1.U.K.
6.2.3.2.a combination friction braking system shall also meet the requirements with regard to the minimum braking portion of friction brake(s) as specified in point 6.3.1.U.K.
The performance of the friction brake shall also be determined. In this type of test, the effect of the hydrostatic transmission shall be neutralised to assess the friction brake and rolling resistance.
If the hydrostatic brake cannot be disconnected for technical reasons, the proportion of the friction brake may be determined by another method, e.g.:
6.2.3.3.Successive brake tests are performedU.K.
6.2.3.3.1with the combination hydrostatic braking system with the friction brake(s) connectedU.K.
6.2.3.3.2with the combination hydrostatic braking system with the friction brake(s) rendered inoperative (only 'hydrostatic braking')U.K.
Then this formula is used:
zF = zHy+F – zHy + R
zF
:
Mean fully developed deceleration of the friction braking system including rolling resistance
zHy
:
Mean fully developed deceleration related only to the braking effect of the hydrostatic braking system including rolling resistance
zHy+F
:
Mean fully developed deceleration of the combination hydrostatic braking system.
R
:
Rolling resistance = 0,02
6.2.4.Secondary braking systemU.K.
6.2.4.1.The secondary braking effectiveness test shall be conducted by either simulating the actual failure conditions in the service braking system or by carrying out this test with a secondary braking system which is independent from the service braking system.U.K.
6.2.4.2.The system shall be tested with the appropriate control device.U.K.
The prescribed performance shall be obtained by applying to the control device a force not exceeding 600 N on a foot or 400 N on a hand operated control device. The control device shall be so placed that it can be easily and quickly applied by the driver.
6.2.4.3.The limits prescribed for minimum performance, both for tests with the vehicle unladen and for tests with the vehicle laden, are those laid down in point 6.3.2 for each class of vehicle.U.K.

Timeline of Changes
This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force. For further information see our guide to revised legislation on Understanding Legislation.
