The Goods Vehicle plating and testing regulations 1988 (at regulation 8 (2) (k)) state that an examiner may refuse to accept a vehicle or trailer for test where it is not satisfactorily loaded. In most circumstances, to achieve this, vehicles must be loaded to at least 65% of their design axle weights with cargo (this doesn’t have to be the cargo you would usually carry) or loaded with ballast to achieve this. The brake actuation pressure will also be at its most effective to determine a more meaningful assessment of the overall braking efficiency. This allows the vehicle’s wheels to keep turning for longer and avoid premature lock ups. This allows the Vehicle Standards Assessor to accurately carry out the test as the grip between the tyre and the rollers is at its maximum. Why do vehicles need to be laden?Īn appropriate amount of weight should be placed on the vehicle and/or trailer. Under the ISO standard, vehicles you present for test must be fully laden, apart from a few exceptions. As part of a Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV - motor vehicles & trailers) annual test, DVSA carries out a roller brake test according to the ISO brake testing standard (21069).
