The ECE R-90 regulation published by the European Economic Commission (ECE) regulates the principles for the approval of the replacement of brake pads in motor vehicles.

ECE R-90 Standard Test for Motor Vehicle Brake Pad Replacement Approval

This technical regulation contains uniform provisions for the approval of replacement brake lining assemblies, drum brake linings and discs and drums for motor vehicles and trailers.

The regulation in question applies to the basic brake function of the following spare parts:

  • Spare brake pads intended for use in friction brakes forming part of the braking system of vehicles of categories M, N, L and O;
  • Spare brake drums and discs intended for use in friction brakes forming part of the braking system of category M, N and O vehicles;
  • Replacement drum brake pads designed to be riveted with the brake shoe for use on vehicles of category M3, N2, N3, O3 or O4;
  • Spare brake pad assemblies used independently of the vehicle brake system.

Original brake discs and brake drums and spare discs and drums fitted at the time the vehicle was manufactured are not subject to this regulation.

The application for approval of the spare part for certain vehicle types is made by the manufacturer of the spare part or its duly approved representative. Along with the application, diagrams showing the functional dimensions of the spare brake pad assembly or the spare drum brake pad and the diagrams indicating the positions of the appropriate brake pad group or spare drum brake pad should be submitted to the technical service that will carry out the tests.

Within the scope of automotive tests, EUROLAB also provides approval services for the replacement of brake pads in ECE R-90 motor vehicles. Thanks to these services, businesses receive more efficient, high-performance and quality testing services and provide safe, fast and uninterrupted service to their customers.
