Raybestos® recently received police and public service vehicle certification for its line of police friction products. The products were recognized as D3EA PPSV (Police and Public Service Vehicle) certified.

This is the only voluntary, objective and completely independent validation process for replacement brake friction materials and rotors that provides a basis for maintaining compliance with new vehicle Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) requirements, according to the company.

PPSV Certification captures the critical system level performance characteristics of police and other emergency service vehicles and has established performance requirements that may surpass those imposed by OEMs, the company adds. The certification uses independently administered, state of the art dual-end brake dynamometer testing conducted by Greening Testing Laboratories, Inc. of Detroit, Mich.

Raybestos® D3EA PPSV certified brake pads are available on four vehicle platforms:
