    The certification builds on top of the company’s already existing ISO 90001 certification and will be complementary to the ECE R90 certification. The certification has been implemented to improve workflow processes and confirm the brake manufacturer's continued commitment to producing best-of-industry quality brake products for OEM and aftermarket and enable expansion of its business activities therein and production efficiency.

    With our ECE R90 and ISO 90001 certifications, we already work daily to ensure high quality and reliability for motorcycle riders and customers all over the world.
