5 Characteristics and test method of the brake pads
5.1 Classification of brake pads
This document defines the characteristics required for the categories A1 to G1 of brake pads, listed in
Table 5. The characteristic requirements for the application in coaches used in general operation are
listed in Table 7.5.2 Coefficient of friction
The coefficient of friction should be independent of the wear (full thickness of the brake pad), the specific
pressure, the temperature and the environmental conditions.In wet conditions, or when there is snow, the instantaneous coefficient of friction should vary only slightly
compared to the coefficient of friction under dry conditions.These frictional characteristics shall be assessed in accordance with 5.5 to 5.6.
5.3 Environmental impact, health and safetyAll raw materials used in the manufacture of the brake pads shall comply with the relevant requirements
for environment, health and safety.NOTE Relevant requirements are given in regulations of environment, health and safety, notably REACH
regulations.In addition, a safety data sheet shall be presented.
5.4 Usage requirements
The composition of the material from which the brake pads are made should be chosen so that the best
compromise is obtained between:— the frictional properties,
— the wear of the brake pads, and
— the aggressiveness against the brake disc.
5.5 Frictional requirements for brake pads
5.5.1 General
This subclause describes the requirements for brake pads used in locomotives, MUs, freight wagons and
coaches. Optional test programs and requirements for coaches are defined in 5.6.5.5.2 Priority levels of brake applications
In the test programs A1 to G1, the brake applications are prioritized, in accordance with a decreasing
level of importance, as given in Table 2.Brake applications with highest nominal application force (highest nominal deceleration) under normal
conditions representing emergency brake applications are rated with priority 1. All other brake
applications are rated according to their safety relevance with priorities 2 to 4. Continuous and parking
brake applications are not stopping brake applications and therefore assessed according to different
criteria and there is no priority level assigned with these brake applications. Bedding brake applications
which are carried out prior to the main stopping brake applications are assessed separately.
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------SIST EN 15328:2020
EN 15328:2020 (E)
Table 2 — Priority levels of brake applications for test programs
Priority level Type of brake application
Dry brake applications with the highest nominal application force for each mass,
normal conditions
Wet brake applications and hot brake applications with highest nominal application
force, for each massBrake applications with highest nominal application force used for cleaning, drying,
regenerating, or after continuous brake applications, for each massAll other brake applications, with the exception of continuous brake applications and
bedding brake applications and the examination of static coefficient of frictionContinuous brake applications, brake applications used for bedding-in, examination
of static coefficient of frictionNormal conditions refer to brake applications under dry conditions with low initial temperature and with
the brake disc and the brake pad unaffected by high thermal load or residual wetness.
Brake pads of categories A1 to G1 are characterized by their friction behaviour, expressed as the velocity-
dependent nominal line.The nominal line for the coefficient of friction is calculated for each brake pad and each test program as
the linear regression line of the mean coefficients of friction (expressed in a rounding range of 0,001)
versus speed of all brake applications with priority 1, extending from the lowest to the highest test speed.
5.5.3 Criteria for the nominal lineThe nominal line should lie between 0,300 and 0,450.
It shall lie between 0,280 and 0,470. The difference between the maximum value and the minimum value
of the nominal line shall be less or equal to 0,150.5.5.4 Criteria for the mean coefficient of friction
Allowed deviations of coefficients of friction are expressed by means of tolerance bands centred around
the nominal line.The tolerance bands for the mean coefficients of friction in accordance with their priority level are given
in Table 3.Table 3 — Tolerance bands for the mean coefficients of friction vs. priority levels
Priority level of1 2 3 4
brake application
Tolerance band 1 ±10 % ±15 % ±20 % ±25 %
Tolerance band 2 ±15 % ±20 % ±25 % ±30 %
The mean coefficient of friction for each brake application shall lie within the bounds of the tolerance
band 1 in accordance with its priority, while the following exceptions are tolerated.
— A total of 6 % of all brake applications (rounded to the closest integer) of priority 1 may deviate from
tolerance band 1 towards the negative side.— A total of 12 % of all brake applications (rounded to the closest integer) of priority 1 may deviate
from tolerance band 1.---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST EN 15328:2020
EN 15328:2020 (E)
— A total of 5 % of all brake applications (rounded to the closest integer) of priorities 2 to 4 may deviate
from tolerance band 1 towards the negative side.— A total of 10 % of all brake applications (rounded to the closest integer) of priorities 2 to 4 may
deviate from tolerance band 1.No mean coefficient of friction shall lie outside of tolerance band 2.
5.5.5 Criteria for continuous brake applications
During continuous brake applications, after 10 s the instantaneous coefficient of friction shall stay inside
the band defined by µ = 0,250 and µ = 0,500.min max
After 2 minutes the instantaneous coefficient of friction shall not vary more than 0,05 during any minute
and the coefficient of friction shall stay inside the band defined by µ = 0,250 and µ = 0,500.
min maxThe brake pad wear during any continuous brake application, including the stop brake application
thereafter, shall not exceed 1 mm. The wear in mm can be calculated from the weight differences before
and after the continuous brake application.5.5.6 Criteria for bedding brake applications
The nominal coefficient of friction of the bedded state shall be defined as the average of measured mean
coefficients of friction µ of the last 5 braking stops carried out during the bedding section.
During the bedding-in phase, the mean coefficients of friction shall not exceed the following variations
from the nominal value of the bedded state:— ± 30 % from the 11 bedding-in brake application until 30 % of number of the bedding-in
applications are finished;— ± 15 % during the rest of the bedding-in process.
