Description / Abstract: This document describes a standard method for measuring a vehicles longitudinal and lateral (horizontal plane) centre of gravity (CG) positions and three methods for estimating a vehicles vertical CG position, the axle lift, tilt-table, and stable pendulum methods. It applies to heavy vehicles, that is commercial vehicles and buses as defined in ISO 3833 (trucks and trailers with maximum weight above 3,5 tonnes and buses and articulated buses with maximum weight above 5 tonnes, according to ECE and EC vehicle classification, categories M3, N2, N3, O3 and O4). CG measurements are performed separately for each single unit.
