Why use VBOX for ECE R90 Brake Pad Testing

What is ECE R90 brake testing...?

In September 1999 European Brake Test legislation ECE R90 was introduced. Stipulating that all vehicle brake pads and linings manufactured and sold within the E.U. must comply with R90 standards, the test involves comparing the performance of replacement brake pads and linings with those originally fitted to the vehicle.

To comply with ECE R90 standards, the brake pads and linings must be put through speed sensitivity and cold performance equivalence tests. Pads that have passed ECE R90 testing will have an “E” mark on the back alongside a number denoting which authority has tested and approved the pad (e.g. UK - ‘E11’).
