operating speed of no more than 200 km/h and an axle weight of no more than 21 t, or
a maximum operating speed of no more than 120 km/h and an axle weight of no more
than 30 t (hereinafter referred to as rolling stock brake pads); it also applies to the
composite brake pads for railway vehicles, which have a maximum operating speed of
no more than 160 km/h and an axle weight of no more than 18 t (hereinafter referred to
as railway vehicle brake pads).

4.1.1 The brake pad consists of a steel back and a friction body; the friction body
consists of a bonding material, a reinforcing material, a friction material.
4.1.2 The structure and dimensions of the brake pad shall comply with the provisions
of Appendix A.
4.2 Appearance
4.2.1 The steel back shall not have cracks or other defects that may cause the brake pad
to break during use.
4.2.2 The friction surface shall be flat. The friction body shall not have inclusions,
cracks, blistering, bulging, delamination, looseness, warping and other defects.
4.2.3 The friction body and the steel back shall be firmly bonded.
4.3 Usage requirements
Under normal use conditions, the following requirements shall be met:
a) The brake pad shall maintain its brake friction performance in accordance with
the requirements specified in this standard.
b) The brake pad shall not break; it shall not produce deformation that affects
disassembly. The friction body shall not fall off; there shall be no peeling or
falling pieces exceeding 10% of the friction area. The friction surface shall not
have defects such as bulges and ablation.
c) The brake pad shall not cause groove wear or plow-shaped wear on the friction
surface of the brake disc. The brake pad's friction surface shall not produce metal
inlays that cause damage to the above-mentioned brake disc or affect the brake
friction and wear performance.
d) The brake pad shall not cause hot spots, thermal peeling, thermal cracks that may
cause the brake disc to break on the friction surface of the brake disc.
4.4 Physical and mechanical properties of friction body
The physical and mechanical properties of the brake pad's friction body shall comply
with the provisions of Table 1.

4.5.3.3 The average friction coefficient of the continuous emergency braking stop, or
the average friction coefficient of the stop condition immediately after continuous
braking, shall not exceed ±15% of the average friction coefficient in the normal
temperature dry state and the same braking conditions.
4.5.4 Instantaneous friction coefficient of continuous braking
The instantaneous friction coefficient after 2 minutes of braking shall be within the
range of 0.25 ~ 0.5; the difference between the maximum and minimum values shall
not exceed 0.15.
