sec.10 Modified manufacturer’s mass limits for a tyre relating to a particular cold inflated pressure
This section applies for the purposes of section 8 . The manufacturer’s mass limits for a tyre are the manufacturer’s mass limits for the tyre determined at a cold inflation pressure of not more than— for a radial ply tyre—825kPa; or for another type of tyre—700kPa. The manufacturer’s mass limits for a radial tyre are— at a cold inflated pressure of 200–900kPa—5t at a cold inflated pressure greater than 900kPa—6t. Because the latter mass limit (6t) only applies at a cold inflated pressure above the threshold value of 825kPa mentioned in paragraph (a) , the applicable manufacturer’s mass limits for the tyre is 5t. (sec.10-ssec.1) This section applies for the purposes of section 8 .
