Talking disc pads, disc brakes and ECE Regulation 90

European legislation came into effect September 1999 titled ECE R90. It stipulates that all brake pads sold for use on vehicles manufactured after this date must be tested and comply to R90 standards. - basically this reg requires that the performance of front and rear disc pads used on the public roads within Europe must be as good as Original Parts - closing the door to cheap and nasty imported brake pads throughout Europe. This Regulation was updated in 2016 requiring brake discs to meet similar requirements - So provided pads and discs are stamped to say they meet the requirements, you now have the choice whether you buy to suit your wallet or that of the manufacturer!
