This SAE Standard specifies brake system performance and test criteria to enable uniform evaluation of the braking capability of self-propelled, ride-on vibratory steel wheel, static steel wheel, and rubber-tire roller compactors with maximum level surface machine speeds of 25 km/h or less. Service, secondary, and parking brakes are included. Machines with maximum level surface machine speeds greater than 25 km/h shall conform to the requirements of ISO 3450.

This document applies to self-propelled, ride-on vibratory steel wheel, static steel wheel, and rubber-tire roller compactors as defined in ISO 6165 and ISO 8811 and as listed in SAE J1116, and to these same machines while in service.
