This International Standard specifies a laboratory method for conditioning brake linings in an environment that will promote corrosion, and a test method to assess the strength of bond formed by corrosion. For comparison of lining behaviours, it is essential that the material and condition of ferrous mating surfaces be constant and repeatable. This International Standard applies to drum brake linings and disc brake pads fitted to the brakes of road vehicles. They may be tested in new or used condition.
