European safety regulation ECER90, Disc and Drum Information

It is now more than 15 years since the European safety regulation, ECER90, was introduced for replacement disc brake pads and drum brake linings.

The aim of ECER90 was to establish a common minimum standard of braking performance, product integrity and manufactured quality, for replacement brake linings across the whole of Europe. Prior to the introduction of ECER90 the market was unregulated and products of dubious performance and quality could be sold with impunity with consequent safety risks to all road users.
