BS ISO 14512:1999

This standard BS ISO 14512:1999 Passenger cars. Straight-ahead braking on surfaces with split coefficient of friction. Open-loop test method is classified in these ICS categories:

• 43.020 Road vehicles in general
• 43.100 Passenger cars. Caravans and light trailers

This International Standard describes an open-loop test method for determining vehicle reactions during a straight-line braking manoeuvre on a surface having a split coefficient of friction.

It applies to passenger cars as defined in ISO 3833.

The method is valid for all braking efforts up to full ABS operation for vehicles so equipped, or just up to the locking limit of the wheels on the high-friction surface for vehicles without ABS.
