Information
Method of Inspection
Reason for Rejection
This inspection applies to all types
of braking system.
Repairs to the pressure lines of
hydraulic brake systems are
unacceptable unless suitable
connectors are used. Compression
joints of a type using separate ferrules
are not suitable.
A.
All Braking Systems
1.
Check for leaks in any part of the
braking system with and without
the brakes being applied.
2.
Check all components for security,
condition and operation.
Note: It is not always possible to
determine the presence and
effectiveness of certain types of
locking devices e.g. locking fluid or
‘nyloc’ nuts.
3.
Check all braking system
components for any inappropriate
repair or modification.

function is impaired
d.
