Galfer receives ECE R90 brake pad certification
Spanish brake components manufacturer Galfer has received prestigious R90 certification for its motorcycle brake pads, which certifies that their quality and effectiveness is equal or superior to that of the original motorcycle parts.
The ECE R90 regulation stipulates that all replacement brake pads must meet a set of requirements and pass rigorous tests that compare their braking performance with original pads in approved motorcycles. The certification not only approves the product, but also certifies that the production processes at the Galfer factory have a high standard of quality, safety and product traceability.
The brake pads and packaging are marked with "ECE R90", the approval number and a country code in a circle, which corresponds to the location of the certifying body, i.e. E9 for Spain.
ECE R90 certification was devised to provide consumers with a quality filter among the current brake pads on the market and as a guarantee of safety for users. Galfer says it offers over 500 different brake pads in its motorcycle catalogue in various semi-metallic and sintered compounds, and all of them now with ECE R90 certification. Galfer additionally has German TÜV KBA certification for its Disc Wave brake discs.
