Speed limitation device

Motor vehicles (rigid vehicles and tractors for semitrailers)
with a maximum mass exceeding 3.5
tonnes, shall be equipped with a speed limitation device according to the technical requirements of
ECE Regulation No. 899, as amended. The device shall be set in such a way that the speed cannot
exceed 90 km/h, bearing in mind the technological tolerance of the device.

Coupling devices of motor vehicles and trailers

 
Coupling devices of motor vehicles and trailers shall comply with the technical requirements of ECE
Regulation No. 552 as amended, in accordance with the dates of application specified therein.

Prevention of other risks caused by fuels

Fuel systems for engines fuelled by LNG shall be so equipped and situated to avoid any danger to the
load due to the gas being refrigerated.
 
9 ECE Regulation No.89 (Uniform provisions concerning the approval of:
I. Vehicles with regard to limitation of their maximum speed or their adjustable speed limitation function
II. Vehicles with regard to the installation of a speed limiting device (SLD) or adjustable speed limitation
device (ASLD) of an approved type
III. Speed limitation devices (SLD) and adjustable speed limitation device (ASLD))
2 ECE Regulation No. 55 (Uniform provisions concerning the approval of mechanical coupling components of
combinations of vehicles).

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING COMPLETE OR COMPLETED EX/II OR EX/III VEHICLES INTENDED FOR THE CARRIAGE OF EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES AND ARTICLES (CLASS 1) IN PACKAGES

Materials to be used in the construction of vehicle bodies

No materials likely to form dangerous compounds with the explosive substances carried shall be used
in the construction of the body.

Combustion heaters

Combustion heaters may only be installed on EX/II and EX/III vehicles for heating of the driver’s cab
or the engine.

Combustion heaters shall meet the requirements of 9.2.4.7.1, 9.2.4.7.2, 9.2.4.7.5 and 9.2.4.7.6.

The switch of the combustion heater may be installed outside the driver's cab.
It is not necessary to prove that the heat exchanger is resistant to the reduced afterrunning cycle.

No combustion heaters or fuel tanks, power sources, combustion air or heating air intakes as well as
exhaust tube outlets required for the operation of the combustion heater shall be installed in the load
compartment.

EX/II vehicles

The vehicles shall be designed, constructed and equipped so that the explosives are protected from
external hazards and the weather. They shall be either closed or sheeted. Sheeting shall be resistant to
tearing and be of impermeable material, not readily flammable1. It shall be tautened so as to cover the
loading area on all sides.
All openings in the load compartment of closed vehicles shall have lockable, closefitting
doors or
rigid covers. The driver’s compartment shall be separated from the load compartment by a continuous
wall.

EX/III vehicles

The vehicles shall be designed, constructed and equipped so that the explosives are protected from
external hazards and the weather. These vehicles shall be closed. The driver’s compartment shall be
separated from the load compartment by a continuous wall. The loading surface shall be continuous.
Load restraint anchorage points may be installed. All joints shall be sealed. All openings shall be
capable of being locked. They shall be so constructed and placed as to overlap at the joints.

The body shall be made from heat and flame resistant materials with a minimum thickness of 10 mm.
Materials classified as Class B-s3-d2 according to standard EN 13501-1:2007 + A1:2009 are deemed
to fulfil this requirement.
If the material used for the body is metal, the complete inside of the body shall be covered with
materials fulfilling the same requirement.
 
1 In the case of flammability, this requirement will be deemed to be met if, in accordance with the procedure
specified in ISO standard 3795:1989 ‘Road vehicles, and tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry -
Determination of burning behaviour of interior materials’, samples of the sheeting have a burn rate not exceeding 100
mm/min.
