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.
