Abstract
Barning in mind that the internal European market must be protected against unsafe and dangerous products in all fields, including the field of motor vehicles, this paper presents the basic principles of the European standard 286-2, which deals with tanks for air braking systems of motor vehicles and their trailers. This harmonized standard supports the Directive 87/404/EEC, which deals with simple pressure vessels.
Since the tank for air braking system of motor vehicles, as a vessel under pressure, poses a security risk in the state of rest as well as during exploitation, this paper, through an example of modern pneumatic brake system in vehicles, provides a methodology for conformity assessment of the tanks of air braking system for motor vehicles and their trailers, in accordance with the EN 286-2 standard. The application of the described procedure defines the conditions that remove technical barriers in trade, protect the market from unsafe products, and thus increases traffic security.
