One of the most relevant parameters for vehicle authentication is the brake performance of the vehicle. Countries follow their own automotive standards for various components manufactured. Criteria put forth by these standards may vary accordingly. The key brake performance parameters considered are its stopping distance, deceleration, and stopping time. This article delivers a comparative study on three brake testing standards: Indian Standard, European Economic Commission, and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. The article provides an outline to brake testing procedure of service, secondary and parking brakes of automobiles with four or more wheels without trailer. Parameters like Mean Fully Developed Deceleration (MFDD) and Stopping Distance are discussed in detail. Tests prescribed by the three standards like P type test, F type test, H type test, and Burnishing test are detailed. Parameters have been compared according to the specifications as per the standards. This article shall be of assistance to policymakers and industrial experts to select the best criteria out of these three standards while framing revised editions of testing standards.
