Vehicle safety starts with parts you can trust. For brake parts like brake pads and discs, that reliability is critical. To ensure the quality and safety of these parts, the ECE R90 certification was introduced. In this blog, we explain what the ECE R90 standard means, why it matters, and how we at Kavo Parts contribute to safe mobility, without compromising on quality or price.
What is ECE R90 certification
- Each replacement parts offer braking performance comparable to the original component.
- The parts are extensively tested for braking force, wear, heat resistance, and high-speed performance.
- Each product is traceable via unique codes and packaging.
- Only approved products carry the official ECE R90 mark.
Why is ECE R90 important?
ECE R90 certification is more than just a label. It offers major advantages for distributors,
workshops, and end users:
- Guaranteed quality: ECE R90 certified brake parts meet strict testing standards. You can rely on their performance, under all conditions.
- Legal compliance: In many countries, it is illegal to sell or install non-certified brake parts.
- Vehicle safety: Certified components ensure consistent braking distances, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Customer trust: Drivers expect brake parts to be safe. By supplying or installing only ECE R90 certified products, you show you take safety seriously.
How do you recognise ECE R90 certified brake parts?
Brake pads, discs, and drums that comply with the ECE R90 standard carry an official marking. This marking includes:
- An E-number referring to the country of approval (e.g. E1 for Germany)
- A unique approval number for the product
- Clear packaging information and traceability
Always check whether both the packaging and the part itself include these details. At Kavo Parts, you can be sure every part we supply meets these standards. Need documentation or test reports? No problem, we’ll provide them on request.
