SHAH ALAM: Sirim Bhd will set up a special laboratory for automotive component manufacturers to test the endurance level of brake pads, said its Research and Innovation Technology Division vice-president Dr Mohamad Jamil Sulaiman.
He said, at present, Sirim was in the process of acquiring the necessary equipment for the laboratory to be set up next year. "We want to make sure that the brake pads function in accordance with the stipulated standards," he said.
Mohamad Jamil said brake pads purchased from workshop operators must meet the stipulated standards to reduce brake system failure which often resulted in road accidents. He said Sirim already has laboratories providing measurement and calibration services including photometric testing of LED lights.
