MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT
Notice of Publication of Revision 1 of Technical Standards Document No. 122, "Motorcycle Brake Systems"
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to section 12 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act and sections 16 and 17 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations, that the Department of Transport has revised Technical Standards Document (TSD) No. 122, "Motorcycle Brake Systems," which specifies braking performance requirements for motorcycles. Revision 1 of TSD No. 122 is effective as of the date of publication of this notice and will become enforceable six months thereafter. Vehicles manufactured during the six-month interim period may conform to the requirements of either Revision 0 or Revision 1.
TSD No. 122, "Motorcycle Brake Systems," reproduces U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 122 of the same title and is incorporated by reference in section 122 of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. This revision changes the minimum hand lever force and foot pedal force requirements in the fade and water recovery tests that are specified in TSD No. 122. The new force levels are sufficiently low to accommodate new motorcycle braking systems that require less force to be effective. This revision replicates the regulatory text of the Final Rule issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States Department of Transportation that was published in the Federal Register of August 14, 2001 (Vol. 66, No. 157, p. 42613).
Copies of Revision 1 of TSD No. 122 may be obtained on the Internet at www.tc.gc.ca/RoadSafety/mvstm_tsd/indextsd.htm. Any comments on Revision 1 of TSD No. 122 should be directed to Winson Ng, Regulatory Development Engineer, at the following address: Standards and Regulations Division, Road Safety and Motor Vehicle Regulation Directorate, Department of Transport, 330 Sparks Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N5, (613) 998-1949 (Telephone), (613) 990-2913 (Facsimile), Ngwk@tc.gc.ca (Internet address).
