This Part of BS AU 210 specifies:
- a procedure for determining the mechanical strength of drawbars for caravans and light trailers where the vertical static force on the coupling head is not less than 245 N and not greater than 735 N;
- requirements for the mechanical design of the chassis for caravans and light trailers.
This standard applies to aluminium chassis of caravans and light trailers provided they are not of welded construction. It also covers the aluminium elements of chassis of composite construction, again provided the aluminium parts have not been welded.
NOTE The method for calculation of the mechanical strength of steel drawbars for caravans and light trailers is covered in BS AU 210-1.
