[Superseded]Heavy road vehicles — Mechanical coupling between articulated vehicle combinations, Part 3: Kingpins and associated equipment
Sets out requirements for 50 mm, 75 mm and 90 mm kingpins for use in articulated vehicles, B-doubles and road trains, in normal use on sealed and unsealed roads. Appendices cover mechanical properties, dimensional requirements for interchangeability, dynamic testing, and the attachment of the kingpin to the skid plate.
