Title missing - Legacy paper document

This document establishes a standardized terminology framework specifically for the braking systems of road vehicles, including motor vehicles and their trailers. It provides a comprehensive set of definitions and descriptive terms designed to ensure clarity and consistency in technical communications across the global automotive industry. By defining precise meanings for concepts related to braking mechanisms, control systems, and performance characteristics, this reference aids engineers, manufacturers, and regulatory bodies in developing and interpreting technical specifications. The text focuses exclusively on vocabulary, avoiding procedural guidelines or performance criteria. It serves as a foundational resource for aligning language used in design, manufacturing, testing, and maintenance documentation. Through uniform terminology, it facilitates international cooperation and understanding among professionals working in vehicle dynamics and safety engineering. This lexicon supports the accurate exchange of information without ambiguity, contributing to the overall coherence of technical standards within the sector. It is intended for use by those involved in the specification, design, and evaluation of braking equipment, ensuring that all parties interpret technical descriptions consistently.
