SMMT Guide on Couplings
There are no specific regulations covering the ball bracket itself other than the requirements of EC Directives 94/20 EC.
Similarly with Pin/Hook and Eye/Combination units, but there are a number of important factors to consider which are detailed in this part of the Guide.
Many of the regulations mentioned in this Guide will be updated and amended from time to time.
If you are in any doubt about specific legislation, please refer to the latest text of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations or the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations.
These, with their amendments are available from Her Majesty's Stationery Office or any bookshop which sells Government publications.
The SMMT Guide is available by post at £3.50 including post.
