This International Standard specifies test methods to determine the lateral stability of heavy commercial vehicle combinations as defined in ISO3833, including truck centre-axle trailer combinations and articulated buses. It is applicable to trucks and trailers having a mass exceeding 3,5t and buses having a mass exceeding 5t, i.e. vehicle categories N2, N3, 03, 04 and M3 according to 92/53/EEC.
The manœuvres specified in these test methods are not fully representative of real driving conditions, but are useful for determining the lateral stability of a heavy vehicle combination.
