Scope
This Technical Specification specifies the maximum allowable wear and the limit dimensions of worn components of in-use mechanical couplings, which, when respected, will ensure the safe operation on the road of heavy commercial vehicles fitted with such couplings.
It is applicable to the following standardized mechanical couplings:
— 40 mm and 50 mm drawbar couplings (see ISO 3584);
— 40 mm and 50 mm drawbar eyes (see ISO 8755 and ISO 1102);
— 50 mm and 90 mm fifth wheel kingpins (see ISO 337 and ISO 4086);
— hook couplings and toroidal eyes (see ECE Regulation No. 55).
