Road vehicles. Roof load carriers. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This Publicly Available Specification specifies the minimum safety requirements for all roof load carriers intended for mounting on or above the roofs of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles with a maximum authorized total mass up to 3,5 t (ISO M08) as defined in ISO 1176. It applies to:

1. a) mechanically attached general use roof bars suitable for carrying a load,
2. b) accessories and their attachments to roof bars for special purpose applications,
3. c) mechanically attached specific purpose roof devices suitable for carrying a defined load, and
4. d) magnetic fixing devices suitable for carrying a defined load.

This Publicly Available Specification establishes technical specifications and test methods which offer the user of the roof load carriers, other road users and pedestrians a minimum level of safety when these fixing devices are being used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Moreover, the requirements of ISO/PAS 11154 complete the provisions of Directive 74/483 EEC and ECE R 26 concerning these products. For additional devices intended for example to limit the movement of the load, requirements and test methods are not defined in this Publicly Available Specification. If needed, both manufacturer and laboratories will work out additional test(s) or choose the most appropriate test(s) described in this Publicly Available Specification.
