Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) What is the environmental compliance
				level?
The environmental compliance level is defined in California
				  Code of Regulations, title 22, section

An "A" indicates that the brake friction material
				  manufacturer has submitted self-certification documentation and laboratory
				  testing results showing the brake friction material does not contain any of the
				  following regulated constituents in amounts exceeding the following
				  concentrations:
Regulated Constituent
Concentration Not to Exceed
Asbestiform fibers
0.1 percent by weight
Cadmium and its compounds
0.01 percent by weight
Chromium (VI)-salts
0.1 percent by weight
Lead and its compounds
0.1 percent by weight
Mercury and its compounds
0.1 percent by weight
(c)
				What does the environmental compliance level "B" indicate?
A "B" indicates that the brake friction material manufacturer
				  has submitted self-certification documentation and laboratory testing results
				  showing the brake friction material does not contain any of the constituents
				  listed in this subsection in amounts exceeding the following
				  concentrations:
Constituent
Concentration Not to Exceed
Asbestiform fibers

Cadmium and its compounds
0.01 percent by weight
Chromium (VI)-salts
0.1 percent by weight
Copper and its compounds
5.0 percent by weight
Lead and its compounds
0.1 percent by weight
Mercury and its compounds
0.1 percent by weight
(d)
				What does the environmental compliance level "N" indicate?
An "N" indicates that the brake friction material
				  manufacturer has submitted self-certification documentation and laboratory
				  testing results showing the brake friction material does not contain any of the
				  constituents listed in this subsection in amounts exceeding the following
				  concentrations:
Constituent
Concentration Not to Exceed
Asbestiform fibers
0.1 percent by weight
Cadmium and its compounds
0.01 percent by weight
Chromium (VI)-salts
0.1 percent by weight
Copper and its compounds
0.5 percent by weight
Lead and its compounds
0.1 percent by weight
Mercury and its compounds
0.1 percent by weight
(e)
				Should a brake friction material manufacturer mark brake friction material that
				is exempt?
Exemption markings are not required. A brake friction
				  material manufacturer may include additional information in the optional field
				  of the certification marking format specified under SAE
				  J866:JUL2012.
