Section 66387.7 - Marked Proof of Certification

(a) What is marked proof of certification?

Marked proof of certification is the unique identification code and environmental compliance marking that is marked on the brake friction material, described in SAE J 866:JUL2012, and the certification mark that appears on the brake friction material packaging. The certification mark on the brake friction material packaging serves to notify end users that the product is compliant with the law. While the unique identification code and environmental compliance marking is used to link the product to laboratory testing results and self-certification documentation, together, the unique identification code, environmental compliance marking, and certification mark provide proof that the brake friction material meets the requirements of Health and Safety Code sections 25250.51, 25250.51 and 25250.52, or 25250.51 and 25250.53. When a brake friction material manufacturer marks a brake friction material and its packaging with the marked proof of certification the manufacturer is certifying that:

(1) The brake friction material meets the applicable criteria for the environmental compliance marking, described in California Code of Regulations, title 22, section 66387.8, with which it has been marked;

(2) The brake friction material has been registered with testing certification agency; and

(3) Self-certification documentation has been submitted to an approved testing certification agency and is available on the testing certification agency's website.

The Department shall post certification marks recognized by the Department on the department's website at http://www.dtsc.ca.gov.

(b) When must brake friction material and its packaging be marked?

On the effective date of these regulations, brake friction material and its packaging sold or offered for sale in California shall be marked with the marked proof of certification.

(c) How must brake friction material be marked?

A manufacturer of brake friction material shall:

(1) Mark its brake friction material in accordance with the SAE J 866:JUL2012. This chapter does not require brake friction material manufacturers to mark the hot and cold coefficients of friction as specified in the SAE J 866:JUL2012. Note: These markings are included in the SAE J 866:JUL2012 standard because other states have regulations that require brake friction materials to be marked with the hot and cold coefficients of friction.

(2) Ensure the unique identification code reported to an approved testing certification agency is the same as the code marked on brake friction material in accordance with SAE J 866:JUL2012;

(3) Ensure that the brake friction material's marked proof of certification includes a unique identification code and the appropriate environmental compliance marking for the requirements cited in Health and Safety Code sections 25250.51, 25250.51 and 25250.52, or 25250.51 and 25250.53. This marking is also described in SAE J 866:JUL2012;

(4) Mark its brake friction material with the last two digits of the year the material was manufactured as described in SAE J 866:JUL2012; and

(5) Ensure that the marking on the brake friction material is legible.

(d) How shall the brake friction material packaging be marked?

Brake friction material packaging shall be marked with a certification mark that is issued by an approved testing certification agency and provided in the proposed brake friction material certification process in accordance with California Code of Regulations, title 22, section 66387.4, subsection (b)(2)(C). This packaging mark self-certifies that the brake friction material contained in the package meets the requirements of Health and Safety Code section 25250.51, 25250.51 and 25250.52, or 25250.51 and 25250.53.
