What is B.E.E.P?

SAE/J2430/B.E.E.P

Brake effectiveness evaluation has always been a demanding automotive engineering task. The introduction of the SAE J2430 SURFACE VEHICLE STANDARD IN 1999 and the adoption of it by the Brake Manufacturer’s Council is the basis for the Brake Effectiveness Evaluation Procedure for friction material use on passenger car and light truck brake systems makes the task much easier. It is a single-ended inertia dynamometer test reviewed  and endorsed by the braking industry and supported by almost 100 dynamometer tests and 50 fully instrumented vehicle tests.

The  SAE/J2430/B.E.E.P. Test procedure resembles the main sections of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 105(2) and 135(3). Not having a reference material on the other axle, it gives a high degree of repeatability and consistency from test to test.

B.E.E.P Is the culmination of a decade long effort by BMC with the guideline objective that aftermarket brake materials meet the same performance levels as those required for new vehicles.

Note: All tests are based on a Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable, D601 ceramic platform and were conducted by a third party independent test lab (Link Laboratories, Detroit, MI). Test result are available from Autospecialty upon request.
