Review the braking system and its interfaces
A component report does not describe the complete braking system installed on a vehicle. Give brake suppliers and homologation staff a shared R13 reference for discussing system scope and evidence.
System and test scope together
Review braking performance, pneumatic systems and stability in the same reference.

Start the R13 review with the vehicle scope
UN R13 is a central reference for braking assessment of heavy vehicles and trailers. Vehicle category, system design and the type of application determine which provisions need review. R13 and R13-H are separate regulations; choose the document by scope rather than the word “braking” alone.
From the component report to the vehicle system
Keep brake circuits, fitted equipment, vehicle configuration and the variants covered by reports in a single project record. This is Anemon’s suggested approach to organising an engineering review. Using the same brake component does not automatically establish equivalent coverage for a different vehicle configuration.
If axle layout or vehicle masses change, for example, first document the effect on the existing braking evidence. Compare the systems described by the supplier declaration, test report and approval certificate. Identify the unresolved technical question before carrying a conclusion across to the modified configuration.
How can you use the 15/S2 edition?
The 397-page English PDF brings together regulatory text, RegsUP explanations, manufacturer questions and supporting extracts. It provides a defined working reference when braking engineers and approval teams review a provision together and record the edition used.
Separate the edition level from acceptance conditions
15/S2 describes the offered publication. RegsUP guidance dated 11 October 2026 is separate from legal entry into force. The cited base text explains the technical framework; the series and transition conditions accepted for an application need their own verification. Purchasing a PDF does not constitute vehicle approval.
Sources and edition references
These official sources document the technical framework and publication history. Their text levels are distinguished from the offered RegsUP edition.
