National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
NHTSA regulates braking safety by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). FMVSS No.
105 specifies braking performance for braking materials in new passenger vehicles. The standards apply
only to new vehicles installed with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) brake pads (Carter, 1995).

NHTSA standards do not apply to after-market (i.e. replacement) brake pads. Transportation agencies do
not regulate replacement brake pads despite estimates by the Society of Automotive Engineers that
replacement pads outnumber original equipment pads in cars five to one (Dougherty, 1995).
NHTSA recently issued a rule intended to Aharmonize@ the differences in automotive brake system standards
between the United States and other countries that have already adopted a universal safety standard (Federal
Register, 1995). The new standards (FMVSS No. 135), which go into effect September 1, 2000, amend a
number of items including the definitions, testing procedures, and stopping distance requirements. There
was some concern that a Aharmonized@ standard would implicitly drive the American automotive parts
industry towards increasing the metal content of brake pads to be comparable to those of foreign
automakers. Richard Carter at NHTSA stated that the new rule should not either directly or implicitly drive
the automotive parts industry towards increasing the metal content of brake pads (Cook, 1994).
California Highway Patrol (CHP)
States may set their own standards for brake materials or may adopt federal standards (Droneburg, 1995).
The State of California does not set its own standards for brake pad composition or performance (CHP,1995). The CHP follows the performance-based Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
