Annex 7, amend to read:
"Annex 7
Requirements for replacement brake lining assemblies for

vehicles of category L
1. Test conditions
1.1. A vehicle which is representative of the type(s) for which the replacement
brake lining assembly approval is required shall be equipped with the brake
lining assemblies of the type for which approval is requested and instrumented
for brake testing as required by UN Regulation No. 78.
1.2. Brake lining assemblies submitted for the test shall be fitted to the relevant
brakes and, until a fixed burnishing procedure is established, shall be burnished
to the manufacturer’s instructions in agreement with the technical service.
1.3. In the case of brake lining assemblies for vehicles with a combined braking
system in the meaning of paragraph 2.6. of UN Regulation No. 78 the
combination(s) of brake lining assemblies for the front and the rear axle to
which the approval shall be directed must be tested.
The combination may consist of replacement brake lining assemblies for both
axles and/or a replacement brake lining assembly on one and an original brake
lining assembly on the other axle.
2. Tests and requirements

2.1. Conformance with UN Regulation No. 78
2.1.1. The braking system of the vehicle shall be tested according to the requirements
for the vehicle category in question (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6, L7) in UN Regulation
No. 78, Annex 3, paragraph 1. The applicable requirements or tests are:
2.1.1.1. Dry stop test - single brake control actuated
The test is to be carried out only in the laden condition. Make one brake
application according to Annex 3, paragraphs 3.1. and 3.2., in UN Regulation
No. 78 up to wheel lock, or up to the deceleration under performance
requirements defined in Annex 3, paragraph 3.3. of UN Regulation No. 78 or
up to the maximum allowed control force.
Where brake lining assembly approval is required for front axle brakes the test
is to be carried out on the front brakes only.
Where brake lining assembly approval is required for rear axle brakes the test
is to be carried out on the rear brakes only.
2.1.1.2. Dry stop test – all service brake controls actuated
Test is to be carried out under Annex 3, paragraph 4., UN Regulation No. 78
requirements.
2.1.1.3. High speed test
Only applicable for vehicles of categories L3, L4, L5 and L7.
Test is to be carried out under Annex 3, paragraph 5., UN Regulation No. 78
requirements.
2.1.1.4. Wet brake test
2
E/ECE/324/Rev.1/Add.89/Rev.3/Amend.5
E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev.1/Add.89/Rev.3/Amend.5
The test shall be carried out according to the requirements in Annex 3,

paragraph 6. of UN Regulation No. 78.
2.1.1.5. Heat fade test
The test shall be carried out according to the requirements in Annex 3,
paragraph 7. of UN Regulation No. 78.
2.1.2. The vehicle must satisfy all the relevant requirements stated in UN
Regulation No. 78, Annex 3, paragraph 2. for that category of vehicles.
2.2. Additional requirements
2.2.1. Cold performance equivalence test
A comparison of the cold performance of the replacement brake lining
assembly and the original brake lining assembly shall be made by comparing
the test results.
2.2.1.1. Make a minimum of six brake applications at spaced increments of pedal effort
or line pressure up to wheel lock or, alternatively, up to a mean fully developed
deceleration according to the minimum requirements in Annex 3, paragraph
3.3., UN Regulation No. 78 or up to the allowed maximum pedal force for the
category of vehicle in question from an initial speed as given in Annex 3,
paragraph 3.2., UN Regulation No. 78.
2.2.1.2. Note and plot pedal force or line pressure and mean fully developed
deceleration for each application.
2.2.1.3. The replacement brake lining assembly shall be considered to show similar
performance characteristics to the original brake lining assembly if the
achieved mean fully developed decelerations at the same line pressure in the
upper two thirds of the generated curve are within 15 per cent of those obtained
with the original brake lining assembly.
2.2.2. Speed sensitivity test
This test is only applicable for vehicles of categories L3, L4, L5, and L7 and shall
be carried out with the laden vehicle under the test conditions defined in Annex
3, paragraph 3.1. and 3.2. of UN Regulation No. 78. However, the test speeds
are different.
2.2.2.1. From the results of the cold performance test as described in paragraph 2.2.1.1.
determine the control force or line pressure corresponding to the minimum
required mean fully developed deceleration for that category of vehicle as
described in Annex 3, paragraph 3.3 of UN Regulation No. 78.
2.2.2.2. Using the control force or line pressure determined in paragraph 2.2.2.1., make
three brake applications from each of the following speeds:
40 km/h, 80 km/h and 120 km/h (if v max  130 km/h).
2.2.2.3. Average the results for each group of three applications and plot speed against
corresponding mean fully developed deceleration.
2.2.2.4. Mean fully developed decelerations recorded for the higher speeds shall lie
within 15 per cent of that recorded for the lowest speed."
