Summary

General provisions governing the approval of air brakes in international traffic.

Any RU, wishing to have a new continuous braking system for freight trains or for passenger trains approved for use in international traffic, must submit it beforehand for examination to the UIC Study Group 5 "Braking" which will ascertain that it complies with the conditions set out in this leaflet.

Any operating modification contemplated on the brakes previously approved in international traffic must, beforehand, be brought to the notice of the SG5 "Braking", which will lay down the requisite conditions for approval.
