4.2.1 Stability and immobilisation of the detached trailer
4.2.1.1 Stability
Trailers when detached shall comply with the stability requirements given in EN ISO 4254-1:2015,
6.2.1.1.
Verification: this requirement shall be checked by calculation or by the following test:
The trailer shall stand, loaded with its maximum permissible load, and with any steerable axles in the
most unfavourable angle on a firm surface with a slope of 8,5°. The trailer shall be positioned on the
slope in the most unfavourable orientation. The parking brake or chocks shall be engaged.
During the test, all supports (i.e. wheels, supporting devices) shall remain on the test surface.
4.2.1.2 Ground pressure
When the trailer is parked on a horizontal surface, containing a uniform load equal to the maximum
permissible load declared by the manufacturer, any supporting devices other than wheels shall comply
with EN ISO 4254-1:2015, 6.2.1.2.

SIST EN 1853:2018+AC:2019
EN 1853:2017+AC:2019 (E)
4.2.1.3 Immobilisation
4.2.1.3.1 General
The design shall ensure that the detached trailer does not move (e.g. by the provision of chocks or with
the parking brake applied).
Trailers with the sum of the technically permissible masses per axle of at least 750 kg shall be provided
with a parking brake.
The parking brake system with which the trailer is equipped shall be capable of holding the laden
detached trailer stationary on a 18 % up and down gradient.
Verification: this requirement shall be checked by standing the trailer, loaded with its maximum
permissible load, and with any steerable axles in the most unfavourable angle on a firm surface with a
slope of 18 %. This test shall be carried out with the trailer positioned on the slope in the up and down
gradient.
During the test, the trailer shall not move.
4.2.1.3.2 Chocks
If chocks are required to prevent any movement of the detached trailer, a device shall be provided on
the trailer for their storage when not in use.
This device shall be designed to secure the chocks so they cannot detach from the trailer
unintentionally or move freely when the trailer is in motion.
The wheel chocks need to be safe to operate and be easily accessible from outside the contour of the
machine. Hooks or chains shall not be used as a device for storage/fixation. The device should
preferably be at the front or in close proximity to the wheels.
Verification: by design check and visual inspection.
4.2.2 Stability in the raised position when tipping
Trailers shall be so designed that they remain stable when loaded and raised to the highest position
achievable for tipping.
Verification: by tests described in Annex B or by calculation described in Annex C for rear tipping
trailers.
The lateral tipping angle shall be limited by design to ensure the stability of lateral tipping trailers on
firm ground with a slope of 5°.
Verification: by functional test or design check.
4.2.3 Minimum load on the drawbar hitch
The vertical downward load on the drawbar of semi-mounted trailers, measured at the hitch point shall
be positive and at least 3 % of the weight of the empty trailer with the trailer in lowered position and it
shall be at least 500 N in all tipping positions, with:
— the trailer on a horizontal firm surface;
— the trailer body empty;
— the trailer equipped with its relevant load compensation devices, as specified by the manufacturer.

This vertical downward load can be achieved, for example, by using counterweights, outriggers
positioned to compensate the load, by positioning of the axle or bogie or by a blocking device for axle
suspension and bogie axle (see 4.2.4) in case of suspended bogies.
Verification: by measurement.
4.2.4 Blocking device for axle suspension and bogie axle
If fitted on a trailer, the blocking device for axle suspension and bogie axle (see 3.10) shall act
automatically.
4.2.5 Stability during travelling
During travelling, the trailer shall remain stable.
Verification: by calculation or test with the trailer fully laden and a minimum static tipping angle
of 23°.
NOTE Verification method by calculation is still under investigation for consideration at the next revision or
