SIRIM says that it will be setting up a special laboratory for automotive component manufacturers to test the endurance level of brake pads, Bernama reports.
The announcement was made by the organisation’s research and innovation technology division vice-president Dr Mohamad Jamil Sulaiman, who said that SIRIM was in the process of acquiring the necessary equipment for the brake pad testing laboratory, which will be set up next year.
Explaining the reason behind the setting up of the lab, Mohamad Jamil said that brake pads purchased from workshop operators must meet the stipulated standards to reduce brake system failure, which often resulted in road accidents.
“We want to make sure that the brake pads function in accordance with the stipulated standards,” he said, adding that the national standards organisation already has a number of laboratories providing measurement and calibration services, including that for photometric testing of LED lights.

Why sirim wanna pandai-pandai? If foreign overlords says their brake pads no problem, then sirim shudnt pandai-pandai persoal our foreign overlords. Just like they say their airbags and diesel engine no problem, so we shud just accept it and dun persoal. Sirim/BNGov bodo piang.
john, we need foreign overlords to help us. See, even your tuan curi duit also, we need the FBI to help us cause here, polis and AG cover up. So john, sorry to say, we need the foreign overlords cause your people like to steal and dishonest whilst love to sleep during work hours.
Hehehe. Just as planned.
There’s no one standard for brake pads. Some is softer and less noisy. Some are harder, noisy and therefore produce more dust.
Brake failure whatever. If you’re speeding downhill, stop making lame excuse for your inability to behave yourself on the road.
Just another way to widen nation’s corruption.
Why aim brake pads first ?? Why not ban the use of retreaded tires straight especially for large trucks ? Every morning also can see the exploded carcass of these retreaded tire junks in the middle of the highway which is so dangerous to other motorists . M’sia has plenty of rubber, why not develop the tire industry instead of pushing for palm oil when palm oil is not selling well ?
Because all of the Malaysian palm oil are owned by cronies, thus directly affect the pockets of those in power. From land concession for palm plantation to the consumer products. Now when the demand for palm oil is down, the government got this brilliant idea of flogging the excess palm oil to the rakyat in the form of B10 diesel.
Q: Sirim tu ape?
A; just a sticker.
Like all the 3pin socket extension sold everywhere with Sirim sticker have the poorest wire connection workmanship – high chance to burn.
Just use OEM parts, there should be no problems about durability and reliability. Why need to waste public money on pointless endeavor like this when the manufacturers already done the testing for their parts? Sometimes it makes you wonder if government agencies have any common sense at all. Go enforce existing rules rather than making up new ones then swiftly forgetting about enforcing it!
Hello SIRIM,
Alang-alang menyeluk pekasam…
Buat lab 1 lagi untuk test brake disc pulak.
Baru seronok.
THERE WASN’T A STANDARD BEFORE?
