de pedaalkracht

Translation

pedal force

The force pushing on the brake pedal, expressed in newtons. The requirement on braking deceleration does not stand alone but applies at a pedal force of no more than 500 N (art. 5.2.38); for ambulances, campers and hearses above 2,500 kg the matching limit is 700 N at a lower deceleration. The figure makes clear that a car must not only brake, but do so without extraordinary force on the pedal.
