What Is ECE R90? E-Mark Rules for Exporting Chassis Parts to Europe

What E-Mark Is

The E-mark shows a part meets UN ECE regulations - usually required for the EU and accepting markets.

What ECE R90 Covers

• Replacement brake parts (pads, discs, drums): must equal or exceed the original
• Mandatory for aftermarket; OE parts exempt
• Tests include friction, speed sensitivity and fade

Reading the Mark

• E plus number in a circle: approving country (E1 Germany, E4 Netherlands, E8 Czech)
• Regulation number (e.g. R90) and approval code
• Different regs for different parts

Dampers and Chassis Parts

• Shocks often need no E-mark, though high-performance suspension may
• Brakes, lighting and belts have clear ECE rules
• Confirm applicable regs per destination - do not miss certificates
