Free running test Clause Samples

A Free Running Test clause defines the conditions under which a product, system, or component is operated independently, without external control or intervention, to assess its performance or reliability. In practice, this clause typically specifies the duration, parameters, and monitoring requirements for the test, ensuring that the item is evaluated under normal or specified operating conditions. The core function of this clause is to provide a standardized method for verifying that the product or system can function as intended on its own, thereby identifying potential issues and ensuring quality before deployment or acceptance.
Free running test. In the case of motor vehicles equipped with automatic brake adjustment devices, the brakes after completing the tests defined in paragraph 1.5.3. above will be allowed to cool to a temperature representative of a cold brake (i.e. ≤ 100 °C) and it shall be verified that the vehicle is capable of free running by fulfilling one of the following conditions: (a) Wheels are running freely (i.e. may be rotated by hand); (b) It is ascertained that when the vehicle is driven at a constant speed of v = 60 km/h with the brakes released the asymptotic temperatures shall not exceed a drum/disc temperature increase of 80 °C, then the residual brake moments are regarded as acceptable.
