This project consists in converting the existing ISO PAS 22574 (Publicly Available Specification) into an ISO DIS Standard, the purpose of which is to define characteristic features for the visual inspection of friction materials in the unused state, used for disc and drum brakes of passenger cars (PC) and commercial vehicles (CV). Since this standard, as a visual inspection catalog, is intended to play an important role in applied quality management and in the formation of quality awareness among friction material manufacturers, system suppliers and vehicle manufacturers, special attention must be paid to the validation and compliance with the formalism of the contents of this standard.
