The extension of UN R90 to include brake drums and discs introduced the concept of a part “identical” to the OE part. Because such parts would have been approved under UN R13/13-H, they were exempted from redundant approval under R90. This proposal would similarly define and exempt brake linings.

Proposal from the Federation of European Manufactures of Friction Materials (FEMFM) to align the requirements for chemically and physically identical brake lining assemblies or drum brake linings.

Text prepared by the Federation of European Manufacturers of Friction Materials (FEMFM) proposing to exclude brake linings and/or lining assemblies that are chemically and physically identical to the original part from the requirements (as is currently the practice for brake discs and drums).

Proposal to improve the definition of “identical” parts as applied to replacement brake discs and drums and to introduce an “identical” part definition for brake linings.

Proposal to improve the definition of “identical” parts as applied to replacement brake discs and drums and to introduce an “identical” part definition for brake linings. This documents supersedes document GRRF-75-18.

Proposal based on informal document GRRF-76-21 to remove all references to Annex 10 from Annex 13 by transferring the provisions concerning vehicles with and without anti-lock braking systems to Annex 10.

Proposal to establish a uniform CoP inspection questionnaire to harmonize conformity of production administrative requirements across Contracting Parties under UN R90. The intent is to increase efficiency and lower costs due to the absence of mutual recognition of CoP certifications among approval authorities.

Proposal to include the option of using a QR code (or another type of digital data carrier) in place of the paper fitting instructions physically included in the packaging.

Proposal to include the option of using a QR code (or another type of digital data carrier) to replace the paper fitting instructions physically included in the packaging.

Proposal to add the option of using a QR code (or another type of digital data carrier) to replace, if necessary, some packaging information.

Proposal to allow the option of using a QR code (or another type of digital data carrier) to supplement, in case of necessity, some packaging information.
