Section 5 on decelerometer testing and Temperature testing <\/span><\/div>\n
It is acceptable to use an approved and calibrated decelerometer to measure overall\u00a0<\/span>brake efficiency values for rigid vehicles without trailers or for vehicles that cannot be\u00a0<\/span>tested on an RBT. A decelerometer will measure the overall brake efficiency but it may\u00a0<\/span>not identify individual braking issues. A temperature check needs to be carried out at the\u00a0<\/span>same time as a decelerometer test to help identify if individual brakes are operational.<\/span><\/div>\n
Brake temperature readings would need to be well above ambient temperature with\u00a0<\/span>relatively consistent readings taken for each brake across an axle. Brakes which are cold\u00a0<\/span>(ambient temperature) or showing an inconsistent reading from the brake on the opposite\u00a0<\/span>side on the same axle, need to be investigated further.<\/span><\/div>\n
