Does your equipment support ECE R78 brake test standards?

Key ECE R78 Requirements Our Equipment Supports

• Brake Performance Testing: ECE R78 requires testing of brake force, deceleration, and stopping distance for both front and rear brakes (single and combined use). Our systems use high-precision load cells and speed sensors to measure these parameters accurately, with software that automatically calculates compliance with ECE R78’s performance limits (e.g., minimum deceleration of 4.5 m/s² for motorcycles).
• Fatigue Testing for Brake Components: ECE R78 mandates fatigue testing for brake calipers, master cylinders, and brake lines to ensure long-term durability. Our servo-hydraulic testers apply cyclic loads (100,000+ cycles) to simulate repeated brake use, with customizable test profiles aligned with ECE R78’s requirements.
• Environmental Testing Integration: ECE R78 requires brake testing under different environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity, water spray) to simulate real-world use. Our systems can integrate with environmental chambers to perform these tests, ensuring brake performance remains consistent in all conditions—critical for ECE R78 compliance.
• Brake Fluid Compatibility: ECE R78 specifies requirements for brake fluid performance (e.g., boiling point, viscosity). Our equipment can test brake fluid compatibility with brake components, ensuring compliance with ECE R78’s fluid standards.
• Data Logging & Reporting: Our software automatically logs all test data (e.g., brake force, deceleration, cycle counts) and generates ECE R78-compliant reports—including detailed test summaries, compliance conclusions, and raw data—ready for certification by bodies like TÜV and SGS.
