Small electrical appliances (e.g. coffee machine)
No matter where kept, personal equipment also includes:

Animals

Bikes

Sports equipment
For the personal equipment, according to the applicable regulations, the
manufacturer must use a minimum weight that is determined according to
the following formula:
Minimum weight M (kg) = 10 x N + 10 x L
N = maximum number of people including the driver, as stated by the manu-
facturer
L = total length of the vehicle in metres

Calculating the payload

 Never exceed the maximum permissible gross weight in laden condi-
tion!
 The maximum permissible gross weight and the weight including spe-
cial equipment fitted at the factory (actual weight) is shown in the vehi-
cle documents, but not the weight of the loaded vehicle (see sec-
tion 4.3.1). For your own safety, we recommend that you have your
loaded vehicle (with all passengers, luggage and personal objects)
weighed on a public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.
The payload (see section 4.3.1) is the difference in weight between

the maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and

the actual weight.
Maximum permissible gross weight ac-
cording to vehicle documents
Actual weight including basic equipment
according to vehicle documents
This results in a permissible payload of
Conventional load e.g.: 3 persons each
weighing 75 kg
Additional equipment
For the personal equipment this results
in
The calculation of the payload from the difference between the maximum
permissible gross weight in laden condition and the actual weight specified
by the manufacturer is however only a theoretical value.
