COMMERCIAL VEHICLE BRAKE DYNAMOMETER

In November 2014, the United Nations-led Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) implemented its latest iteration of Regulation 90, a rule that requires all friction materials, discs, and drums for motor vehicles to submit to and pass several safety standards.

ECE R90 was first introduced in Europe back in the 1990’s in an attempt to make sure that replacement
brake pads and brake shoe and lining assemblies would perform safely upon installation. The latest regulation adds brake discs and drums to the mix, which must be tested and rolex day date replica cheap measured in the following three ways: braking performance, thermal fatigue, and braking load strength. For a part to be certified it must meet the requirements for all three metrics. Without that certification, these brake components will be unable to be sold to the European market.

The new standards are currently in effect for commercial vehicle brake discs and will be effective as of November 1, 2016 for all other replacement brake parts sold or used in passenger cars, light trucks, buses, tractors christian louboutin cl casual shoes for men 717209 trailers and semi-trailers. See the chart below for a breakdown of what specific ECE R90 rules apply to which vehicle classifications to see if your company needs any work done.
