Road vehicles — Brake linings friction materials — Visual inspection
This document defines visual aspects for the identification and assessment of product characteristics for friction materials in terms of quality and for commercial and technical agreements. The sequence of the product characteristics represents no order of priority. Inspection is carried out in unused, “as supplied” condition. In some characteristic features, there are differences between brake linings with an effective lining pad area less than 120 cm2 and larger than 120 cm2. The acceptance criteria ensure exclusion of any characteristics that could impact the function and performance of brake linings and applies unless other agreements between the customer and the supplier.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are

database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.

Vehicle dynamics, chassis components and driving automation systems testing.
This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/PAS 22574:2007), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:

Introduction
Friction linings are composite materials with complex structure. Due to their composition and their
production process, visual appearance characteristics can occur which in a precisely defined design
are to be regarded as specific to the product. In this document, the product characteristics of metal
lining carriers, for example, of bonded lined brake shoes or backing plates for disc brake linings, have
been included.
This document is based on the “Catalogue of characteristic features for friction materials” of the
Federation of European Manufacturers of Friction Materials (FEMFM) issued for the first time in 1980.
The FEMFM is a European organization of national associations formed by companies engaged in the
development and production of friction materials of various product forms. The description of the
characteristic features and their design was reviewed in 1996 when technological processes, especially
safety aspects and the demands made by the brake and automobile industry, were given careful
consideration.

inspection
1 Scope
This document defines visual aspects for the identification and assessment of product characteristics
for friction materials in terms of quality and for commercial and technical agreements. The sequence
of the product characteristics represents no order of priority. Inspection is carried out in unused, “as
supplied” condition.
In some characteristic features, there are differences between brake linings with an effective lining

pad area less than 120 cm and larger than 120 cm . The acceptance criteria ensure exclusion of any
characteristics that could impact the function and performance of brake linings and applies unless
other agreements between the customer and the supplier.

4 Characteristic features for friction materials
4.1 Characteristic features for disc brake pads

Figure 1 — Example for gapping
4.1.2 Edge chipping
2
In the case of a disc brake pad [see Figure 2 a)] with an area less than 120 cm , a maximum of 1 % of the
edge may chip.

In the case of a disc brake pad [Figure 2 b)] with an area equal or more than 120 cm , a maximum of
0,5 % of the edge may chip.

4.1.3 Splits
Splits having a length of more than 30 mm or more than 10 mm on corners or deeper than 1,5 mm shall
not be accepted [see Figure 3 a) and b)].

4.1.4 Minor splits
Splits having a length of less than 30 mm or less than 10 mm on corners or with a depth less than
1,5 mm may be accepted (see Figure 4).
Figure 4 — Example for minor split
4.1.5 Plucked and indented spigots
The disc brake pad shown in Figure 5 is acceptable on each spigot up to 50 % of area and 0,5 mm deep.
NOTE Spigots physically indented in the pad design are included in this description.
Figure 5 — Example for plucked and indented spigots
4.1.6 Poor consolidated spigot holes
The disc brake pad shown in Figure 6 is acceptable if only one spigot is affected with up to 20 % of the
volume being low density. This definition also applies where spigots have been physically indented in
the pad design.
