This International Standard lays down test conditions and strength requirements to be met by: a) Case A (see Figure 1 a): Drawbar couplings and corresponding drawbar eyes for rigid drawbars which are provided for use on rigid drawbar trailers (see 3.2) with a maximum design total mass, C+S, exceeding 3,5 tonnes and: - a vertical static load S (see 3.1) exceeding 10 % of their design total mass, and/or - a vertical static load S greater than 1 000 kg and up to 2 000 kg. EXAMPLE Examples of couplings and corresponding drawbar eyes include drawbar couplings according to ISO 3584 combined with drawbar eyes according to ISO 1102. NOTE This International Standard does not apply if both values, 10 % and 1 000 kg, are not exceeded. Such towed vehicles are defined as centre-axle trailers and are subject to ISO 12357-1. b) Case B (see Figure 1 b): Drawbar couplings and corresponding drawbar eyes for use on vehicle transport combinations, provided for a technical mass C exceeding 3,5 tonnes.
