This draft was prepared by an industry legislative drafting committee for which Johns-Manvilie coordinated most of the work. Other asbestos manufacturers such as Unarco Industries and Jim Nalter participated in this draft ing. In most cases, it was probably legal counsel for the various corporations who worked on the draft in consultation with their technical people. The draft that we are enclosing is patterned after a House Bill, called the Fere-Tick Bill in the last Congress (HF.8689). Ho action was taken on the Fenwick Bill at that time. The draft legislation proposes an asbestos type compensation plan perhaps patterned after the coal miners compensation bill. It is now being reviewed by our Asbestos Study Committee and the Board of Directors. Mr. Messier, President, asked that I distribute this to the Membership. I talked with Mr. Jim ?.eia ef Johns-Manvi lie and Mr. Bob Pigg of the Asbestos Information Association on this subject. The main pressure for this may be the growing number of product liability suits which are being aimed at producers and manufacturers of asbestos products. It would be the intent of such legislation to have a fund supported by the asbestos industry, the tobacco industry, and the U. S. Government with payments based on certain formulas for those who suffer disability or death from employment-related diseases caused by asbestos. The Asbestos Information Association has no official position on this but several members obviously support it. An industry legislative committee (not FMSI) had a meeting on April 10, 1979. In order to identify what will be termed "Class I" products, as described on page 9 of the draft, that committee recommended that "Exhibit A" listing the type of manufacturer be incorporated as the "Class I" type party. At the end of the draft you will note that "Exhibit A" (which would then become Class I parties) includes, on the bottom line, "Friction materials, automotive." Then if you will refer to page 26 of the draft, you will find that Class I parties would be assessed a contribution amounting to $325 per ton of asbestos fiber purchased and used 15 years ago. Had friction materials manufacturers not been included on Exhibit A, which has never before been part of the legislative draft, they would then be considered a Class II party for which the assessment would be $32.50 per ton. In other words, if a certain Class I manufacturer used 10,000 tons of asbestos in his products in 1965 he x-rould be assessed $3,250,000 in 1980. Had the friction materials manufacturer not been included in Exhibit A (which becomes Class I) the assessment would be $325,000 for the 10,000 tons of asbestos. This, of course, could be scaled down proportionately on lower usage. FMSI 17541 BULLETIIT NO. 650 2 liny 4, 1979 There are other parts to this-suggested legislation which may be of concern to members. Products imported into the United States might be somewhat difficult to control where the importer changes for a certain foreign manufacturer. In other words, the entire burden would most probably be bora by a domestic manu facturer even though they attempt to write the importer into the regulations. In the proposed legislation there are provisions made for those who acquired certain entities who were manufacturing asbestos products in the past. Based on the draft, a company like Lear-Siegler would be responsible for the VJorld-Bestos usage and the old Krasne products. It is interesting to note that the mining and the production of asbestos is not assessed. Obviously most mining is done in Canada and United States legislation could not reach that producer. The burden is to be bora by those manufacturers who use asbestos and turn it into a finished product. It would appear that the listing of Friction Haterials in Exhibit A (ClassI) . groups our manufacturers with others who are distributing products primarily to the construction industry. It is known that the construction industry (shipyards) was where the first significant asbestos disability appeared. I don't believe there have been any significant claims on the part of friction materials instal lers concerning asbestos related disability. It would appear that the grouping of friction materials manufacturers with construction materials manufacturers is out of place. I would think that friction materials should more likely be group ed with the Asbestos Cement Pipe, Floor Tile, Paints Coating and Sealants, Gaskets and Packing and similar type product lines. In the meanwhile, both the Asbestos Study Committee and the Board of Directors are reviewing this. If the Ilembers wish to comment, I'd welcome written comments. Copies of the draft legislation are enclosed for all on this mailing list except Asbestos Study Committee members and the Board of Directors. EUD/erc Distribution: Active Ilembers List C E. W.

J. 07652 BULLETIN N 0. 6 4 9 Hay 3, 1979 NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NETSA) FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY RULEMAKING On April 26, 1979 the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published their five year plan for Ho tor Vehicle Safety Rulemaking. This was a 22 page document which has several references to braking systems and aftermarket brakes. A complete copy of the plan as it appear ed in the Federal Register is enclosed. Many of the sections of the plan do not apply directly to brakes or brake systems but because of continuity it was felt best to include the entire document. The first major reference to brakes appears on page 24594, where the NHTSA indi cates that braking systems are the fourth area in which an "increase in efforts" is planned. Particular reference can be made to the following paragraph: "There is a wide array of problems associated with current braking systems. Some exampies are different stopping distances among vehicles of various types (e.g., pass enger cars and light and heavy trucks), the varied reliability and performance of aftermarket brakes, and the problems associated with inspection and diagnosis of degraded systems." You'll note that the NHTSA is zeroing in on aftermarket brakes. In Section II, where the NHTSA presents a rulemaking schedule showing anticipated dates, through Section III which provides Cross Reference Indices, brake systems and brakes are mentioned.several times. Please note the following: Page 24597: NHTSA plans to expand coverage of DOT 105 to light trucks, vans and multi-purpose vehicles. They will also study performance requirements for heavy duty trucks. Page 24593: The NHTSA addresses the question of brake inspectabllity on vehicles under 10,000# GVWR. They also indicate there that they will undertake a study for an Air Brake Systems Standard #130 for trucks, buses and trailers to replace DOT 121. Page 24601: They address the question of motorcycle brake test proce dures for DOT 122. Page 24602: They mention exploratory research, and you'll notice that under crash avoidance brakes get a heavy play. They are seeking infor mation on long range brake technology such as automatic brake adjust ments, anti-lock systems and the like. .. In addition to their plans for improved braking for motorcycles, and the up-grad ing >'of braking performance by the use of automatic devices, they again indicate concern for increased reliability and performance of aftermarket brake shoe and pad assemblies. This is coupled also with consideration of longer-life braking systems. These items under exploratory research could have the most impact on FMS117543 BULLETIN NO. 649 2- - 2lay 3, 1979 friction materials manufacturers servicing the aftermarket. There are further references to brake inspectabllity and up-grading of hydraulic brake systems and a complete index at the rear Indicating the status on actions that have been taken and proposed rulemaking In the future. The Brake Performance Study Committee reviewed this five year plan and suggested distribution to the membership. If there are notices of proposed rulemaking in the future the Institute through this Committee will comment directly to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

'One was entitled 'Clutch Facings" and included a list of all FI ISI clutch facing numbers in numerical order. The booklet showed the FHSI number, the manufacturer's part number, if available, and the nominal size and drilling. That same year we published an add itional booklet entitled 'Clutch Facings Listed in Order of Size." In this booklet the sequence was strictly by size which then showed the FHSI number for that size. He are now supplementing that information by listing all clutch facings released by FHSI since those catalogs were published. There are 31 additional clutch facing assignments.

The article indicated that Guardian was now manufacturing a considerable number of there own disc brake pads for the aftermarket. Subsequent to the article I had correspondence and a phone conversation with Mr. Norman Morse, President of the Guardian Corporation, consider ing the possibility of their application for Active Membership in the Institute. This is to advise the Membership that I have now received an application, which appears to be in good order, from the Guardian Corporation for Active Membership. This application is now being reviewed by the Membership Committee who will advise the Board of Directors as regards their recommendations. After this has been reviewed by both the Membership Committee and the Board of Directors a mail ballot will be placed on the Active Members. This bulletin is simply to inform the Membership that this application has been received. There is no action to be taken by the Membership at this time. E. W.

The new disc fronts were FMSI 7083A. When the lining prints were distributed to members, the Institute sent prints of a semi-metallic lining. This semimetallic lining had different drilling from the basic organic release for these cars. That semi-metallic lining is used as original equipment on the Ford tlustang/Mercury Capri with the 2.3 liter engine, with turbocharger only.

S.A.. of LIMA PERU This is to advise the Membership that the Institute has received an appli cation for Regional Membership from Dur-Bloc, S.A., of Lima, Peru. Earlier this month Dur-Bloc's General Manager, Mr. Marcos Ludmir Wolfenzon, was in the United States and inquired about Regional Membership. Soon there after I received the Dur-Bloc, S.A. application. According to Mr. Ludmir W., Dur-Bloc manufactures friction materials in Peru, and has sales of about $2,000,000 of friction materials. In addition to this manufacturing activity, Dur-Bloc, S.A. imports and distributes in Peru auto motive products manufactured elsewhere. He mentioned Federal-Mogul and Wagner Electric in the United States as suppliers. Mr. Ludmir IV. indicated that Dur-Bloc, S.A. plans exporting disc brake linings internationally including the United States. I advised that to do so using the copyrighted FMS! numbers and the FMS and FMSI trademarks that Dur-Bloc would be assessed the same annual fee schedule that Active Members pay, and for one category (brake linings) this would be $1,700 per year. The Dur-Bloc application was received with the prepayment of the first year annual dues. The application, upon receipt, was sent to the Membership Committee for its review. If its acceptance is recommended by the Committee, the Board of Directors and finally the Membership will review and vote on this application. There is no action required of the Membership at this time. The foregoing is sent as a matter of information. EWD/erc Distribution-Active Members-List A E. W.

This guide will be a small 5--1/2 7 x 8--1/21: or 6' x 9" booklet with 12 pages. It is aimed at the brake shops and medium size customers handling brake linings and clutch facings. The message has to do with good work practices and handling friction materials. In particular, it emphasizes that the worker should not use an air hose to blow dust from brakes and he should use the proper dust collection equipment if he is machining brake linings or clutch facings. It also has suggestions on respirator usage. Some of the suggestions in the booklet are in line with those made in a ITI0SI1 Alert and in some cases quote directly from the OSHA standard for controlling asbestos in the workplace. There are actually only five pages of text along with five illustrations opposite each page. The front cover has an illustration and of course the title. The rear cover indicate sources of additional information for some of the items mentioned in the text. This will be a profess ional booklet somewhat similar to a booklet which "was put out by the Asbestos Cement Pipe Producers Association. It's usage is primarily in the brake shop as I indicated earlier. Based on Member interest, we will order in quantities above 30,000, and based on that volume projection the booklet will be priced at 9$ (U.S. $.09) per copy. Me now have final copy and are ready for printing. r7ould you please place your order for these booklets on: Friction Materials Standards Institute East 210 Route 4 Paramus, Mew Jersey 07652 U.S.A.

Some of these activities are described in this bulletin. OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH AUHINISTRAYIOK (OSHA) DIRECTIVE AS CONCERNS EXPOSURE AND tIBDICAL ERA! H NATIONS"' ' I have copied from an Asbestos Information Association "Hews and Rotes" of October 31, 1973 concerning this subject. In essence, OSHA issued a directive to its Regional Administrators concerning compliance with the medical examination-requirements of the standard. This is an attempt by OHSA to answer the question as to what consists of exposure to airborne concentrations of asbestos in the workplace. They are advising their Regional Administrators that cop.centrations of 0.1 asbestos fibers (or more) larger than 5 micrometers per cubic centimeter will be considered exposure to asbestos fibers. If these exposure levels are 0.1 or more, medical examinations are required. You may wish to refer to the text as forwarded by the Asbestos Information Association. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY CORlilSSlOl-T (CPSC) T1EU0RAKDUTJ CONCERNING ASBESTOS IN CONSmiER PRODUCTS '~ "' Hr. Jim Reis of Johns-IJanville sent along a Consumer Product Safety Commission memorandum concerning asbestos. This report based its re commenda tions on the Kearney report which was made to identify consumer products containing asbestos. In the Kearney review of products it woo their conclusion that friction materials containing asbestos are not likely to be considered a consumer product because they are not under the jurisdiction of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. This CPSC memorandum concentrated in the areas of bulk asbestos fiber and dry mix texture paints containing asbestos for consumer usage. This report also discussed exposure to asbestos from ceilings and other structural surfac.es. Friction materials were not marked for further Consumer Product Safety Commission study. ENVIKQUI iEIiTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) R3VIFN OR ASBESTOS The Environmental Protection Agency's office of toxic substances has concluded a lengthy report on asbestos. Their concern with asbestos is any area where asbestos usage could affect environmental exposure by airs water or food. Brake linings were mentioned several times in the report as regards air and. water exposure. There was no new epidemiological data as concerned asbestos exposure to friction materials workers. There were references to brake lining wear being a source of asbestos in ambient urban air, and it mentioned possible exposures to individuals from asbestoscontaining products in automotive supply stores.

The writer has organized a half-day session during this week entitled "Analysis and Discussion of Brake Wear Problems on Commercial Vehicles". This panel presentation and discussion will deal with specific problems and their solution, as well as the general difficulties to improving lining and drum life on medium and heavy duty vehicles. The panelists include representatives from two major OEM lining suppliers, a major OEM brake supp lier, and two Midwest truck manufacturers. Because of the wear problems brought about by the Government Brake Regula tion (FMVSS-121), I believe this session would be of interest to your members. I personally feel, to make the Society of Automotive Engineers a more viable organization, we need to get the end user of our products more involved. We need to know your concerns and plan our programs accordingly. I would therefore, appreciate it if you would inform your members of this session, so that those interested could make plans to attend. This session is planned for 9 A.M., Monday, December 11, 1978.

October 6, 1978 Gentlemen: We are enclosing a bulletin advising that we will be proceeding with the Historical Sales Reporting for the 9 months ending September 30, 1978. For those new to the program please understand that this is a cumulative report Including total sales for the first 9 months of calendar 1978. During the most recent sales reporting period, our accountants had some difficulties with some of the reports. In one case, a member reported lower sales in one category for 6 months than he had earlier reported at the 3 months reporting date. While such a result is conceivable (returns) it is unlikely. In another case two reports were received from one member with differing results from two different locations. We ask that one individual be responsible for the sales reporting for each company. Also, we suggest that in submitting data for the 9 months ending September 30, 1978 that the party reporting review and compare the figures submitted for the 6 months ending June 30, 1978. Because of difficulties of the nature described above we have had to delay reports in the past to resolve questions like these. ITe are anxious to have an accurate set of sales statistics and are asking your help to avoid problems such as these. Your help will be most appreciated.

This guide will be a small 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" or 6" x 9" booklet with 12 pages. It i3 aimed at the brake shops and medium size customers handling brake linings and clutch facings. The message has to do with good work practices and handling friction materials. In particular. It emphasizes that the worker should not use an air hose to blow dust from brakes and he should use the proper dust collection equipment If he is machining brake linings or clutch facings. It also has suggestions on respirator usage. Some of the suggestions in the booklet are In line with those made in a NIOSH Alert and In some cases quote directly from the OSHA standard for controlling asbestos in the workplace. There are actually only five pages of text along with five Illustrations opposite each page. The front cover has an illustration and of course the title. The rear cover indicates sources of additional Information for some of the items mentioned in the text. This will be a professional booklet somewhat similar to a booklet which was put out by the Asbestos Cement Pipe Producers Association. It's usage Is primarily In the brake shop as I Indicated earlier. We would expect publication in October 1978 and are currently waiting formal pricing from printers. However, in order to get an estimate of the quantities which will govern the price, we are asking that those members Interested In purchasing such a booklet for distribution to their customers and others indicate the quantities required. We are not asking for orders at this time and we will not solicit orders until we have an estimate of the total quantity that will be ordered. We would expect the price of this booklet to run about IOC a copy. It Is not likely that the price will go much under 10c, and I have sufficient data to indicate that it will not go above 15C. To get a handle on the demand for this booklet without committing your self to a specific purchase order, would you kindly fill out the enclosed ballot and return It to the Institute In the prepaid envelope enclosed. AS decisions for making this purchase may be with those involved with occupational or environmental problems I have taken the liberty of sending the ballot and the return envelope to the party whose address appears below. I would hope to have a formal solicitation of orders with a better estimate on prices shortly. Your help In returning this ballot quickly will speed up publication of this booklet.

These were black covered books of about 32 pages with illustrations of the various 4,000 series blocks. The 1975 edition covered only 4,000 series blocks with nominal 3/4" or over thickness. In the earlier 1972 catalog 4,000 series segments with 3/8" and 1/2" thicknesses were included. Since publication of the "1975 Brake Block Identification Catalog" we had sufficient demand to reprint that book and eventually sold all 15,000 copies of the reprint. The last copies of this reprint were sold earlier this year. We have no more copies of the "1975 Brake Block Identification Catalog" on hand. Until recently there had only been a few blocks released since the 1975 catalog and it was not felt that there was sufficient reason to prepare and publish a new catalog. However, we have now released a total of 13 new brake blocks since the 1975 catalog. Some Members are interested in an up-dated catalog, and we are now checking for the Members' interest in preparation of a new catalog. We can publish a new edition if we can plan on at least 20,000 copies, because of the costs of the catalog. If we can plan on 20,000 or more copies, we can have a price which in the past has been reasonable to the Members. The 1975 catalog cost slightly less that 20$ per catalog. While this bulletin is being sent to several individuals at each Active Member and Regional Member, I am suggesting that the reply come from the person that I have indicated for each company. Normally that person would be the one responsible for catalogs. The individual from xrhom I am asking a reply from your company is: Would that Member kindly complete the enclosed questionnaire and return it to the Institute so that we can gauge the interest in a new Brake Block Identification Catalog. If such a catalog were to be published it is likely that it would be in the late fall of 1978 or early 1979. It would probably be entitled the "1979 Brake Block Identification Catalog." Your reply on this will assist in gauging the interest for such a catalog. E. W.

TTork Practices Booklet for Users of Friction Materials After considerable discussion, the Committee recommended that the Institute publish a work practices booklet for replacement market users of friction materials. This would be aimed at the brake repair shops, with emphasis on work practices to reduce asbestos dust exposure in the shop, and to recommend procedures to assist users in meeting OSHA requirements. A Task Force set up by the Committee is now working on a draft. The Board of Directors has anproved this project and we will advise you on its progress. A Brief Message--Asbestos Dust Control in the Shop At the meeting, it was Indicated that other manufacturers might be Interested in the condensed set of Instructions that Raybestos-Manhattan inserts in boxes containing friction materials. The message contains "three do's and three don'ts Do not breathe dust. Do not use air hose for cleaning. Do not machine without dust collection equipment. Do use vacuum or wet cleaning methods. Do dispose of dust in sealed container. Do wear mask if unable to avoid dust. T'-hns-tianville Program--"Working with Asbestos" Representatives of Johns-Manville attended this committee meeting. They have prepared a cassette/slide program entitled "Norking with Asbestos." This program takes about 30 minutes and discusses asbestos-related health risks, government regulations, monitoring programs, medical surveillance and emission control efforts. The program is oriented to the worker in the asbestos products manufacturing factory. It is used by some as an indoctrination for new employees. It is well suited to employees in friction materials manufacturing plants. One member prepared additional slides of operations in its shop showing dust control features on various presses and cutting equipment.

If interested, one should contact: Environmental Affairs Department Johns-Manville Corporation Greenwood Plaza Denver, CO 80217 Consumer Product Safety Commission--Recall Procedures This past summer, Mr. Adrian Comins of Auto Friction contacted me concerning procedures used by CPSC in its Tris recall, and how it--if applied in the future to asbestos-bearing friction materials--could cause financial burdens to friction material manufacturers. Mr. Comins' comments were passed on to your Officers and Board of Directors and were discussed at the recent committee meeting. Mr. Comins feels the "Repurchase of banned hazardous substances" section in the 'Federal Hazardous Substances Act" is unfair in putting the burden almost entirely on the manufacturer. Mr. Comins wrote CPSC, citing the Tris recall, asking for a change to spread the costs on a recall over others in the distribution chain. He wrote under his personal letterhead, not mentioning friction materials. He feels that if CPSC considers a ban on asbestos-bearing friction materials, that distributors and stores may stock up and then return all materials for full refund plus transportation charges and expenses. He believes that repurchase costs should only be born by manufacturers for goods sold before announcement of proposed action by CPSC. He has recommended that others write CPSC, expressing their concern on repurchase procedures of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Me suggest that any comments be made as an individual, and friction materials not be mentioned. Distribution: Active Members (List C) Regional (Canada) Regional (U.S. Dues) E. M.

J. 07652 BULLET I N N 0. 6 1 7 A March 7, 1978 LABORATORIES--ASBESTOS FIBER COUNTS AND CONSULTING On February 13, 1978, we circulated BULLETIN NO. 617, with a list of laboratories which provided services as regards asbestos monitoring. In this list, we showed 25 laboratories which will run asbestos fiber counts. Also, some laboratories offered professional consulting services. An error has been called to our attention. The Bendix cost per fiber count was incorrect (too high). We have also made some small corrections. Would you please discard your earlier list and use this in its place. The listing is in summary form. If you wish to use the service of such a lab, you should contact the party indicated for more information. There may be set-up charges or minimum charges. All consulting fees are subject to additional charges for consultant's or technician's expenses. The Institute is not endorsing or recommending the listed laboratories.

The 1976 list showed 16 laboratories which would run OSHA fiber counts in their labs from samples sent in by clients. We have now contacted laboratories from a larger list to up-date that list. While a majority of those contacted replied, some who were on our earlier list did not. Several new labs replied. We eliminated some labs which specifically limited their services to policy-holders or to narrow geographic areas. And we eliminated a few replies where the prices quoted were so out of line as to be meaningless. We have listed 25 laboratories that will run the fiber counts in their labs from samples sent in by clients. Some will provide technical services in taking the samples by the membrane filter method. Others will provide consulting services. The listing is in summary form. If you wish to use the service of such a lab, you should contact the party Indicated for more Information. There may be set-up charges or minimum charges. All consulting fees are subject to additional charges for consultant's or technician's expenses.

J. 07652 BULLETIN N 0. 6 1 5 December 30, 1977 VEHICLE EQUIPMENT SAFETY COMMISSION--"MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR BRAKE COMPONENT WEAR WARNING" The Vehicle Equipment Safety Commission (VESC) has amended their regulation VESC-14 "Minimum Requirements for Brake Component Wear Warning." In the VESC transmittal letter of December 19, 1977, Mr. Dairl Bragg, Executive Director of the VESC stated: VESC-14 "Minimum Requirements for Brake Component Wear Warning" was revised this past year as a result of petitions from in dustry asking the VESC to take another look at the available data on Drum and Rotor wear as it relates to monitoring that wear. The committee concluded from their study and material gathered through a public hearing that the monitoring of Brake drum and Rotor wear probably would not be cost effec tive and the monitoring of the wear of those components would not greatly enhance the safety of the system in terms of their life expectancy. We do feel quite strongly about the merits and the cost benefits of the regulation as re vised. We are confident that there would be a significant enhancement to vehicle safety in requiring a system that would monitor the wear of brake pads and linings and alert the operator when a worn out condition occurred so mainte nance could then be performed before further degradation or a total failure of the brake system took place. Among other things, the amended VESC-14: (1) Narrowed scope to vehicles with a GVW of 10,000 pounds or less, (2) Narrowed requirement for device to the friction materials (eliminated drum and rotor device requirement), and (3) Eliminated the effective date.

PURPOSEi The purpose of this regulation is to require vehicles ' manufactured for sale on or after the effective date of this regulation, be equipped with a direct and effective means of determining when the discard point of the service brake friction materials have been reached without requiring the removal of major components, such as wheels, hubs, drums or any structural members of the vehicle, and to require each brake drum or rotor be marked to show the discard point. 1.2The service braking system shall be constructed so that a visible, audible, or tactile signal as herein defined will be given when any service brake friction material has been worn to its discard point. 2. SCOPE: 2.1 The scope of this regulation shall include the service brake friction materials, drums and rotors on all passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks and buses, designed for highway use. with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10.000 pounds or less. 3. DEFINITIONS: 3.1 "Visible signal" means a warning light located in direct view of the seated driver. 3.2 "Audible signal" means a distinctive sound audible to the seated driver under normal vehicle and atmospheric conditions. 3.3 "Tactile signal" means a distinctive pulsating action that can be sensed upon application of the service brake. 3.4 "Discard point" means that dimension which the vehicle manufacturer has established as being the limit of wear beyond which the drum, rotor or friction material is no longer recom mended for highway use. 1 FMS117613 3.5 "Friction material" means that part of a service brake designed to retard or stop the rotation of a wheel through friction by the for cing of this material against a brake drum or rotor made of more durable material. 4. REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS 4.1 Every replacement brake component for a wear warning system or assembly shall allow the system to retain the same type of warning as in the original system design. 5. MARKING OF DRUMS AND ROTORS: 5.1 Each manufacturer of original or replacement drums or rotors shall plainly and permanently identify on the drum or rotor the words "Discard Point" and that dimension predetermined by the manufacturer to be the discard point as defined in section 3.4, in English letters and Arabic numerals not less than 1/4 inch in height. 6. EFFECTIVE DATE: 6.1 This regulation shall be effective on 2 FMSI 17614 FRICTION MATERIALS STANDARDS INSTITUTE, INC., E-210 ROUTE 4, PARAMUS, N.

The notice headlined such items as reporting use of asbestos, penalties, the procedure for reporting, the regulation with items on Inspection and disposal of waste. As this open letter was addressed to motor vehicle and brake repair facilities it is intended specifically for those who do any work on brake linings and clutch facings, and this includes procedures such as blowing out brake dust, grinding, sanding, drilling or chamfering of brake linings or clutch facings. A copy of this letter is sent to you so that you may alert your customers in the California market if they have not already been advised. E. W.

Stace program to prevent job iclatcd cancer. As you know, brake linings and other friction materials used in your industry contain asbestos, which in fiber form is a known cause of lutman cancer. Tlic State's new Occupational Carcinogens Control Act seeks to prevent exposure of employees, employers and others to asbestos and 15 other State regulated cancer-causing substances in the work place. 1 he first new obligation for employers is to report che use of these materials. REPORTING ASBESTOS USE Automotive repair facilities that are registered with the State Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) do not have to report the use of asbestos because tliev arc obliged to register annually with the bureau. But they are not otherwise exempt from State regulations requiring that employees be protected from unsafe exposure to asbestos dust. , Brake and clutch repair facilities which arc not registered with the BAR must report to the chief of the Division of Industrial Safety (D1S) as asbestos users if work practices are used which can create dust. T hese work practices include: blowing out brake dust with compressed air, or the grinding, sanding, drilling, arcing or beveling of brake shoes or clutch facings. If these dusty work practices arc not used, reporting is not required. PENALTIES Reporting must be done by September 1. 1977. After that date there is a $500 fne for failing to report to the chief of DIS. Effective July 1, 1977, there are $1,000 fines for serious safety violations of Cal/OShf^ regulations involving asbestos and a $5,000 fine for repeat infractions. REPORTING PROCESS Repair shops, garages, automobile dealers, and other facilities registered witli the State Bureau of Automotive Repair arc automatically registered with the chicf of DIS and need not follow the reporting process described below. These facilities arc also exempt from the $500 fine for failure to report to the chief of DIS. FMSI 17617 labeling arc exempt from reporting rcmurcmci.ts Providing such products ant handled or stored m aled INSP iU;ns This new Act requires the State Department nf Health to inspect work places where cancer-causing substances arc used. Primary responsibility for enforcing these safety and health standards, as with all other job safety and health standards, rests with the State Division of Industrial Safety in the State Department ot industrial Relations. !t is important to note that even though facilities registered with the bureau of Automotive Repair arc exempt from reporting requirements, tiicy are not exempt from Cal/OSHA safety inspections to ensure compliance with regulations on asbestos. ` T` FOR REGULATIONS AND MORE INFORMATION Free copies of regulations on asbestos and information on how to protect workers may be obtained by contacting one of the State Health Department offices listed below: In Northern California In Southern California State of California Occupational Health Branch Occupational Cancer Control Unit 2151 Berkeley Way Berkeley, CA 94704 State of California Occupational Health Branch Occupational Cancer Control Unit 1449 West Temple Street Los Angeles, CA 90026 (415) 843-7900, Ext. 30b (213) 620-4290 EMPLOYEE COMPLAINTS The law requires the State Department of Health and the Division of Industrial Safety to respond to complaints from employees regarding potentially unlawful use ol the regulated cancer-causing substances in their work places. Priority is given to investigation of such complaints. NO CHARGE CONSULTATION To help employers achieve compliance with the provisions of the Occupational Carcinogens Control Act, the Scate Department of Health will provide penalty-tree, no-churgc consultative services anil educational programs. These services will be provided on request by any employer or employee. RECOMMENDED WORK PRACTICES To keep asbestos exposures as low as possible, it is recommended that removal of dust from brake drums and brake assemblies be done witli a wet rag or vacuuming instead of by means of compressed air. All arcing or grinding of brake linings should be performed with an adequate local exhaust dust collection system. The asbestos dust collected should be disposed ol in sealed impermeable bags or containers.

J. 07602 BULLETIN N 0. 6 1 2 October 12, 1977 OSHA PROPOSED RULEMAKING FOR SUBSTANCES POSING AN OCCUPATIONAL CARCINOGENIC RISK On Tuesday October 4, 1977, OSHA published a notice of proposed rulemaking on suspected carcinogenic substances in the Federal Register. In this proposed rulemaking, substances would be classified: Category I Category II Category III Category IV Toxic substance confirmed as carcinogenic in humans Toxic substance indicated as a potential carcinogenAny toxic substance not classified in Category I or II Toxic substance not found in the American workplace. The proposed regulations then draw up standards for the Categories for control through establishing permissible exposure limits, monitoring, regulated areas, respirators, medical surveillance, etc. Asbestos would be a Type I carcinogen and would require that workers' exposure be kept to "lowest level feasible." While the indications are that OSHA does not intend to re-write the Asbestos Regulation, it appears that this "fill-in-the-blanks" proposal is patterned after the asbestos regulations. Presumably, substances such as lead, benzene, etc would be controlled by establishing the Category, and then filling in exposure limits, etc. The full text of the notice covered 100 pages in the Federal Register of Tuesday October 4, 1977 starting on Page 54147. A single copy of these proposed regula tions is available on request. (Additional copies at $5.00 each). A write-up on these proposals from the NEW YORK TIMES is enclosed.

One issue the Government wants to decide as a general policy is what kinds of proofs will be required to declare that a given substance causes cancer. The second issue is what action the Up to the present, although the Oc cupational Safety and Health Adminis tration has been subjected to an almost endless barrage of criticism by busi nessmen, many experts agree it has been largely ineffective in confronting the health problems created by indus trial processes. Government will expect a business to take after a substance is declared a carcinogen. As spelled out in the 278-page Labor Department proposal, evidence de veloped during specifically defined tests on mamalian animals could be the basis for determining that a toxic . In more than six years of operation, substance is a carcinogen and, once for example, OSHA has managed to so determined, that the exposure limit put into effect regulations limiting the exposure of only 17 of the more than 1,500 carcinogens that scientists believe are present in the nation's factories, hospitals, chemical plants, beauty shops, mines, cleaning stores and even office buildings. "will be set as low as feasible." Assuming the new comprehensive cancer proposal survives the expected challenges ny business and industry, the potential impact of the plan is enor mous. During the last 75 years of in creasing industrialization, for example, deaths from cancer have risen from A report by the General Accounting Office last spring said that at the exist ing pace it would take 05HA more than a century to regulate substances akeady, identified as hazards and that new and dangerous products were being added to the environment every day. "Thus," the General Accounting Of fice report concluded, "the bleak health conditions, which Congress sought to improve (in the Health Act of 1970) still exist, and many may be getting 64 per 100,000 in 1900, to 162.8 per 100.000 in 1970 and 171.5 per 100,000 in 1975. Cancer is now killing about 1.000 persons per day in the United States and each year 900,000 new cases are diagnosed. a Somewhere between 60 percent and 90 percent of these cases, scientists now believe, are triggered by sub stances in the environment of America, many of which originally are generated in the workplaces regulated by worse." OSHA. But' on Monday, Labor Secretary Ray Marshall and Dr. Eula Bingham, the head of the OSHA, made a proposal that would provide a drastic While the human anguish behind these statistics is impossible to qualify, the costs can be estimated. According to some studies, about $1.8 billion a change in the agency's approach to year is spent in the United States solely hanlth problems and a great increase in the pressure on business to confront these problems. / Mr. Marshall and Dr. Bingham recommended the Federal Govern ment's first comprehensive plan to con trol the hundreds of substances that produce cancer end the abandonment of the present substance-by-substance for hospital care for cancer petients, $3 billion to $5 billion a year is spent for ail kinds of treatment of cancer and perhaps $12 billion a year is lost in earning power and productivity be cause of cancer. Mr. Marshall referred to these broad er costs to society--some of which are reflected In higher health-care premi ums paid for the general population-- approach. Under the plan, model fili-inthe-blanks regulations would be estab lished for carcinogens. More important, perhaps, the proposal provides that the Government will argue on a-once-andfcr-all basis two key policy issues that when asked whether he had calculated what the new comprehensive enforce ment plan would cost industry. The Secretary said that he believed the poli cy, when implemented, would save society a great deal of money. Associated Prtss Dr. Eula Bingham But the proposal could result in a tremendous increase in Government , pressure on industry to limit the ernis- ; sions of cancer-causing agents and this ` would cost money--first industry's money, then the public's money when it buys what industry sell. The plastics industry, representing a segment of in dustry that would be particularly af fected, said that it shared the Govern- ment's concern in wanting to reduce j occupational exposure to carcinogens. But it denounced the plan as "nothing | more than an attempt by a regulatory , agency to devise a `quick fix' method ! of dealing with the admittedly difficult ! task of reducing the risks of occupa- : tional health hazards. No push button i formula will provide the right answer." i The potential significance of the ! OSHA proposal does not end in the t workplace. Other Federal agencies-- ! such as the Consumer Product Safety | Commission, and the Environmental j Protection Agency--regulate carcino- i gens on a substance - by - substance basis. Should this approach survive legal challenges--which past individual cases would suggest is likely--then t they, too, could begin a broader, far j speedier, cleanup drive.

Fraser, President of the United Auto Workers to Mr. Ray Marshall, Secretary Labor. This letter was written on July 6, 1977 and I received a copy of it at the recent meeting of the Asbestos Information Association in Washington. Mr. Fraser is petitioning the Secretary to establish rules for occupational exposure to asbestos as the proposal appeared in the Federal Register on October 9, 1975. Along with medical surveillance, record keeping requirements, regulated areas and other controls in the workplace, there was the proposal to establish the 0.5 fiber per cubic'centimeter maximum concentration for asbestos fibers. This proposal was to be areduction from the current 2 fiber per cc level. By petitioning for an emergency standard, Mr. Fraser, among other things is attempting to speed the regulatory process and have the new standard finalized as soon as possible.

MICHIGAN 4 0 214 PMONC < 3H) 920-3000 Dear Secretary Marshall: On behalf of the UAW I am writing to petition you to exercise your authority under Section 6(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 U. S. C. 1655(c), to establish the proposed moo Cl cation of the Occupational Standard for Exposure to Asbestos, 29 CFR 1910.1001, as an emergency temporary standard. In addition, the UAW petitions that as speedily as possible thereafter you commence hearings and promulgate a permanent standard consistent with recent medical findings, under Section 6(b) of OSHA, 29 U.S. C. 1655(b), and 29 CFR 1931. 3. This petition is made on behalf of UAW members engaged in tfie manufacture of friction products, the repair and remanufacture of brak.-s and transmissions, maintenance workers in contact with asbestos insulation, chemical formulation workers and others who are regularly or incidentally exposed to this highly hazardous material. These workers may suffer irreparable harm if the normal, time-consuming standa rd-setting process is pursued. The risk to health is documented by data presented in the preamble to the proposed standard, which notes that cancer can arise; from both brief and low-level exposures to asbestos fibers. That proposal was dated September 30, 1975, over one and one-half year s ago. Thus, any additional delay in acting on the proposal through norma! channels , which could take additional years, may r.'..'.d! in cn.of b'u'r o; m, : ; and n e.s o* ! i a.l i on m c.hich would have beta prevented by improved control over the workplace. The delay in promulgation of the standard affects our members in two major ways. First, we are aware of several plants in the friction products industry which apparently arc in compliance with the current standard of 2 fibers per cubic centimeter, but in which obvious steps to control airborne; asbestos exposure have not berm taken. The current standard thus allows pollution to the limit of 2 fibers per cubic centimeter, -in.l v.-1 > i e r. r :. n r e c .poS'-d Lo levels oi a.;; b es 1 < > s fibers .e! a- b e-e'sld easily be lowered. FMSI 17627 In addition, the current requirements fo r protective clothing and locker room facilities are tied to the measurement of levels of airborne asbestos fibers in excess of 2 fibers per cubic ceritimeter. In our experience the clothing of workers becomes quite visibly contaminated with asbestos containing dust or mud where airborne asbestos measurements do not indicate a requirement for hygiene practices under the current standard. Therefore, workers may take asbestos home, serving to provide a continuing source of preventable exposure to themselves, and a completely unconscionable exposure to their families. While these issues have been pursued through collective bargaining, the weakness of the current standard is a major obstacle. Where such demands are won, the companies employing cur members are placed at a competitive disadvantage to other employers. ' We are prepared to submit data and to testify in support of these assertions. We are aware that the standards - s citing machinery of OSIIA is currently greatly overloaded with the need for initial regulation of many substances. The solution to this problem, however, should not be to delay action but to increase staffing and support for these activities. Tile environment of asbestos-using operations which are apparently in compliance with the current standard of 2 fibers per cubic centimeter are visibly dusty although not highly contaminated. Our members arc well aware of the hea'tb hazards of the dust which they come in contact with every day and demand bettor control. The fact that the application of the cur rent OSIIA standard does not furnish relief is damaging to the credibility of the on I ire OSI I A effort. For these reasons , the HAW is filing this petition to request that tlie proposed modification of the Occupational Standard for Exposure to Asbestos, 29 CFR 1910.1001 Is adopted as an emergency temporary standard, and that as soon as nomsibl o thereafter, a permanent standard r 11,1 : .. 1 i ; J with r , 1' 1" i mode : ' 1 c b > 11' t 1.. - , 1 r ; 1; i 1 i.; !.; d . 1 v.

Mr. Ike Weaver of Raybestos-Manhattan recently sent me a copy of a paper by Dr. Harvey B. Snyder of the Exxon Company which appeared in the Medical Bulletin. Dr. Snyder discussed some background on asbestos along with a description of some of the physical characteristics of asbestos fibers. He also wrote further on clinical asbestosis with some theories on the pathogenesis of asbestos. Following Dr. Snyder's presentation, the Exxon Company presented recommendations for the handling of asbestos. I have copied a few pages from this article as it appeared in the Medical Bulletin and am enclosing it for your information. There are recommendations concerning the use of protective dust respirators when working with asbestos products. While most handling of asbestos has been covered in the OSHA standards there appears to be a logical classification of asbestos-containing materials in which friction materials are placed in Group Number V. After classification of friction articles in this group the Exxon presentation shows Table II with guides for the use of respiratory protection equipment. In particular this involves grinding, sanding, cutting, drilling, banding, riveting, and application of friction materials. It indicates type of respirator to be used depending on the operation. Following this is a list of the names and addresses of manufacturers and/or distributors of certain types of respiratory protection equipment. In addition, this paper included a listing of British sources of dust respirators. This enclosed information may be of help to you and your customers as regards recommended respirator usage in working with friction materials. CC: Active Members - List C Regional Members E. W.

J. 07652 BULLET I N N 0. 6 0 7 July 29, 1977 CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION At the Annual Meeting, those attending were advised that the friction materials industry is now coming under review by an additional federal bureau. In addition to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a new bureau--the Consumer Product Safety Commission--will be considering brake linings. In particular, they would be studying asbestos containing brake linings, and I would imagine clutch facings. Enclosed is a copy of a memo that was written by Mr. John Marsh, Director of Environmental Affairs at Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc., to others in the Raybestos organization. This letter indicates that brake lining will now be studied "to determine whether or not such products should be banned." The implications of such a study and the consequences of a possible ban on asbestos containing friction materials are obviously far-reaching. Based on reaction at the Annual Meeting, we will follow-up on this subject. We are distributing a copy of Mr. Marsh's letter in accordance with recommendations of our Board of Directors. The foregoing is for your information. EWD/erc E. W.

Gordon W. S. Simpson SUBJECT: Consumer Product Safety Commission date: May 13, 1977 Officials of the CPSC take pride in referring to their organization as an "open" agency. All files are open to the public for inspection and copying and all meetings are also open to the public. There are some benefits in being able to peruse Commission files at will, but scheduling meetings with Commission personnel Is a bit awkward. My first request for a meeting on Tuesday was turned down because I had not followed proper procedure. It was explained that notice of scheduled meetings (public hearings) must be published at least seven days in advance in the CPSC schedule of hearings in order that all interested parties may have an opportunity to participate ar.d to have knowledge of the Commission's position on the matters discussed. Thus every meeting is a public hearing. I then called on Stewart McKinney who was able to arrange an appointment on Thursday with Vincent Rocque, Esquire, Special Assistant to Commissioner Barbara Franklin. Franklin is considered to be understanding of the problems of industry in regulatory matters. Mr. Rocque was very cordial but declined to discuss matters of substance. He said the Commissioners would instruct the staff to investigate consumer use of brake linings to determine whether or not such products should be banned and referred me to Michael Brown, Executive Director or Suzanne Schiffer, Director of Communications for further information. He commented that it would be months before action would be taken with respect to brake linings but suggested it would be a good idea to "get in at the bottom of the curve". Rocque advised that the Commission's Product Safety Advisory Council would meet next Monday and Tuesday to review a draft policy on voluntary safety standards and would discuss the Commission's priorities setting mid-year review of its activities. A copy of the Membership cf the Advisory Council is attachea. The meeting will be covered by the AIA/NA. FMS117636 Page 2 May 13, Mr. Rccque then took me to the reference room and showed me the location of the asbestos file. There is a battery of Xerox machines for copying purposes (no charge) and there are absolutely no restrictions on what one may look at. It was interesting as well a3 somewhat disconcerting to discover, in a petition filed July 15, 1976 by the Natural Resources Defense Council requesting banning of asbestos containing dry wall patching compounds, detailed references to asbestos exposure among brake service mechanics. In fact, the authors of the petition have used data in a Mount Sinai study of brake mechanics alleging that "over one-half of the mechanics had characteristics of asbestcsis which are generally thought of as indicators for cancers" as a basis for justifying the ban on asbestos containing patching compounds, because the exposure levels in the two types of work are assumed to be similar. Although the petition referred to contains some outrageous exaggerations and probably mistatements as well, it is fully documented (74 references). Responding to this and ether petitions that can be expected will not be a simple task. I plan to contact the Executive Director of the Commission, Mr. Brown at the time of the next AIA/NA meeting in June. /as attachment cc: Messrs. F. S. Daly R. R. Moalli R. B. Sims I. H. Weaver IT. H.

In my covering memo, | in- ' correctly stated that "...Dr. Lewinsohn did not believe there was sufficient medical evidence to indicate that the 2 fiber/cc level for occupational exposure to asbestos should be reduced." Dr. Lewinsohn advises that statement in my memorandum was not correct. He indicated that as the present 2 fiber/cc standard had been recommended in 1968 and introduced into legislation since 1970 that sufficient time had not yet elapsed to validate it or invalidate it as a safe level for cancer or mesothelioma although it did present an apparent acceptable safe level for asbestosic allowing for a 1/ risk of developing the earliest demonstrable effects. Dr. Lewinsohn did not indicate that the 2 fiber/cc level was inviolate. This bulletin is to act as a correction of earlier BULLETIN NO. 606.

LEWINSOHN PRESENTATION "MEDICAL ASPECTS OF OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO ASBESTOS" Enclosed is a copy of Dr. Lewinsohn's presentation to our Annual Membership Meeting in Scottsdale, Arizona on Jtine 22, 1977. Dr. Lewinsohn included a slide program to illustrate several items discussed in this paper. At the conclusion of his talk, Dr. Lewinsohn indicated that he did not believe there was sufficient medical evidence to indicate that the 2fiber/cc level for occupational exposure to asbestos should be reduced. On Page 21 of Dr. Lewinsohn's transcript, reference is made to a technical bulletin to be issued by NIOSH outlining acceptable work practices for brake service mechanics. A preliminary draft of the NIOSH recommended procedures for asbestos brake and clutch servicing--just released by NIOSH--is enclosed. This draft is condensed, but our "Recommended Procedures for Reducing Asbestos Dust During Brake Servicing" ( copy also enclosed) are in harmony with the NIOSH recommendations. With transmittal of Dr. Lewinsohn's paper it was suggested that members provide appropriate work practice instructions for all workers who may subsequently handle your products--and in particluar those doing brake service work.

J. 07652 BULLETIN NO. 6 0 4 July 8, 1977 QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM At the tAjne 1977 Board of Directors meeting, a report entitled "A Quality Control Program for the Friction Materials Industry" was reviewed, and it was recommended that it be released to the Membership. Your copy of this report is enclosed. This was prepared in response to questions arising as to manufacturers exercising "due care" in assuring that their products conform to safety standards, and "good faith" when safety related defects may be alleged for products not specifically covered by a standard. A Quality Control Sub committee was formed to report to the Brake Performance Study Committee, and worked on this project starting in 1973. This program is for your information. Except in a few cases, it is not being released to non-members. As regards reference material, it is suggested that those interested contact the SAE or ASTM for referenced standards and practices. Certain items such as the Permafuse and Goodrich booklets would have to be secured by requesting same from those manufacturers. For other referenced material, other than text books and military specifications, we will provide copies on request. However, where the requested material comes to more than 50 pages, we will charge a basic price of $3.00, plus .05 per page over 50 pages. A good reference book for the SAE material is "Motor Vehicle Braking Systems and Components," HS24, 1977 Edition.

It includes programs for quality through out all stages of the manufacturing cycle including purchased material, processing, assembly, inspection and testing, as well as some recommendations for field identification. It is a compilation of much current practice used by present manufacturers. The extent to which the total information is used is a matter of individual discretion. FMS117648 I QUALITY PROGRAM MAMAGETE-TT A.. The program should be such that personnel can: 1. Analyze and use Quality Records. 2. Identify and evaluate Quality problems. 3. Initiate, recommend or provide solutions. B. The Responsibility and Organization for Quality: 1. Quality personnel should have well defined responsibilities and authority and the organizational freedom to perform their function. 2. Definition of responsibilities and authority should be made in a Quality Manual with a clear statement of company policy and procedures to be used in carrying out this policy. 3. The Quality Manual should also include: 3.1 Objectives 3.2 Organizational Charts 3.3 Job Descriptions 3.4 Relationships between Departments 3.5 Inspection Planning 3.6 Raw Material Control 3.7 Process Control 3.8 Finished Goods Control 3.9 General Test Methods 3.10 Corrective Action Responsibility Ref. 11.2 M11-Q.-9858A - Military Specification 11.6 Quality Control Handbook, Juran 1** FMSI 17649 II CONTROL OF PURCHASED R'ATFEIALS AND COlTOr.TENTS All purchased materials and components should be controlled by a documented system. A. Raw 'Materials Each manufacturer should have the assurance that each raw material he purchases meets the requirements, mainly the chemical and physical properties, of the material. His method of assurance is by his receiving inspection, periodic testing, supplier surveillance or certification, or any combination of the foregoing. The following is a listing of the tests that may be run on various raw materials: 1. Resins 1.1 Hot Plate Cure 1.2 ?Ielting Point 1.3 Inclined Plate Flow 1.4 Hexa Content 1.5 Viscosity 1.6 Solids 1.7 Gel Time l.S Screen Analysis 2.

Solvents 4.1 Distillation 4.2 Kauri-Butanol 4.3 Specific Gravity 4.4 Boiling Point 4.5 Refractive Index -2- FMS117650 3. Components A manufacturer should be certain the components he purchases meet their various physical, chemical visual and dimensional require ments. The components should be tested by receiving inspection, periodic testing, assembly testing, supplier surveillance or certification, or any combination of the foregoing. Listed below are some of the components and typical properties which can be checked: 1. Rivets & Bolts 1.1 Shank Diameter 1.2 Shank Length 1.3 Head Diameter and Angle 1.4 Hardness 1.5 Thread Size 1.6 Function 2. Adhesive 2.1 Solids 2.2 Viscosity 2.3 Flow 3.

Pilot Production Pun Procedure The manufacturer should have an established written procedure for the accomplishment of pilot production evaluations. It is recom mended that this procedure be envoked whenever a new material is being `scaled ut>" for production and/or whenever new or replace ment items of production equipment are being introduced. The following topics are recommended as integral parts of the pilot production procedure. 1. Supervision of the process by assigned representative(s) of both the production and engineering departments. 2. Documentation of all processing and raw material parameters and retention of these for the marketing life of the product or for periods as required by regulations. 3. Retention of samples of the resulting product for a like period. 4. Chemical, physical and/or frictional testing of the product from the pilot production run should be conducted in order to ascertain whether the product'3 properties are within the limits determined during the product development stage. 5. A conference should be held to review engineering and economic features of the pilot production run and the resulting product. B. Establishment of Design Limits The product development engineer (s) should retain accurate records of physical and performance characteristics of a -product throughout its development and pilot production evaluations. The scope of these records should cover all characteristics of the product which would be necessary to establish meaningful product design limits. Design limits which are calculated from pre-production material should be continually reestablished and reverified through the pilot production run and normal "onstream" production. The frequency of testing and verification should be quite high during the development and pilot run stages until the product proves to exhibit consistent properties. Some suggested approaches are listed below. 1. Experimental Product Stage 1.1 Eigh frequency of hardness and density. 1.2 High frequency of verification of frictional properties. 1.3 High frequency of verification of dimensional characteristics 1.4 Sample extremes of hardness and density distribution for performance evaluation. -4- FMS117652 1.5 Set up tentative design limits based on accepted statistical methods. 2. Pilot Production Run Stage 2.1 Reduce frequencies if sampled parts test within limits of 1.5. 2.2 Calculate new design limits employing the production data using accepted statistical methods. 2.3 If statistical data indicates a change in limits, parts should be revalidated for their performance character istics . C. In-Process Control The manufacturer should establish and maintain procedures for physical examination, measurement or test of the products at significant work operations. This covers a wide range with the following as examples; 1. Process Control Charts 1.1 Temperature 1.2 Pressure 1.3 Time 2. Types of physical tests 2.1 Gogan or other Applicable Hardness 2.2 Specific Gravity 2.3 Tensile 2.4 Dimensiona1 3. Audit-type check 3.1 Setup approval 3.2 Roving inspector 3.3 Operator inspector These examples and others should be employed in any combination in order to protect the product quality as deemed appropriate by the manufacturer. It is recommended that important in-process controls be traceable to manufactured materials. D. Gage Control Manufacturer is responsible for the selection, application and maintenance of all inspection equipment. Inspection equipment can be defined as any gage or other measuring and testing device used to assure product conformance. These could be normal purchased items such as micrometers and verniers or specifically designed gages. Sometimes production tooling, such as jigs, fixtures or templates are used for inspection purposes. - The following is recommended: 1. Assure all new inspection equipment is correct when purchased. -5- ~ FMSI 17653 2. Repair and calibrate all inspection equipment on a written scheduled basis. 3. Maintain a master file on all insoection equipment. -6- FMS117654 IV SPECIFICATIONS, DEALINGS AMD CHANGE CONTROL A. Specification System Documented procedures for product manufacturing should be provided to specify acceptable manufacturing practices and techniques. These procedures could include: 1. Product Engineering specifications 2. Machine setup instructions 3. Operator Production instructions 4. Process card and/or Routing information which would give process specifications such as thicknesses, tolerances, tool numbers, etc. 5. Inspection instructions 6. Procedures for handling discrepant material Only properly approved and accepted materials (purchased items) shall be released to Production against material requisitions. Provisions should be made for lot control of any production run. B. Change Control of Drawings, Specifications and Procedures Each manufacturer should have a documented system in effect to insure that the current applicable drawings, procedures or specifications are in use. Following is a li3t of criteria to be considered: 1. Established distribution lists for all drawings, specifications, and written procedures. 2. A recall system for all obsolete drawings etc. from all plant locations and/or individuals. 3. A master file of documents managed by a limited number of personnel. This file will reflect all changes. 4. Control of reproduction of drawings, procedures and specifications. -7- FMS117655 V IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS A. Internal A manufacturer should be able to Identify materials and processing used for a batch, lot, or time period. This identification should be associated with: 1. Materials and components used. 2. Routing of product through the manufacturing cycle. 3. In-process controls. 3. External 1. Regulatory requirements for edge coding and manufacturer identification and possible expansion thereof. 1.1 Regulation V-3 Edge Coding 1.2 NHTSA Docket 73-14, Manufacturer Identification Code 2. Recommended additional identification to help a manufacturer limit size of a recall. 2.1 Any individual in subsequent assembly (as for example, a re-builder) should provide identification on the assembly. 2.2 Batch, lot or time period code. -3- FMS117656 VI DOCUMENTATION' AND RECORD RETENTION In order to demonstrate compliance to standards and care in manufacturing, the manufacturer should have an established record retention system. The guidelines for this system are; A. Existing Federal Standards Tlhen a Federal Standard exists, the following guides should be used: 1. U.S. Government '`Guide to Record Retention Requirements." 2. LIFTS/, requirements are now in effect for vehicle manufacturers (5 years) and tires (3 years). 3. Public Law 93-492 Defect Notification Requirement of 3 years for equipment manufacturers. B. No Federal Standards Record retention recommendations to show evidence of control where not required by regulations are: 1. Processing control data, 3 months. 2. Friction, Fhysical tests, 2-7 years. 3. Other, minimum 2 years - maximum 7 years. -9- FMS117657 VII CONTROL OF FIJISuFI- PRCTUCT A. Inspection Each manufacturer should have established an effective inspection system for control of quality. The following are elements of that system: 1. Documented inspection procedures that define property to be checked, sample size or frequency, method of test and tools and gages used. 2. A record system for the data generated via inspection that is traceable to lot, batch or production time neriod, and retained in accordance with accepted industry practice and government regulations. 3. Calibration records for all equipment used in the inspection process. (Dee section III, paragraph D Gage Control) 4. A documented system that provides for the identifica tion and segregation of non-conforming materials. 5. A system that allows the final inspection data to be reviewed and related to the processing steps for analysis and corrective action. -10- FMS117658 B. Testing Each manufacturer should have a set procedure of batch or periodic control tests that are performed on his finished lining. Tests that could be performed are: 1. Chemical Tests 1.1 Acetone Extract 1.2 Ash 1.3 Pyrolytic Gas Chromatography 1.4 Infrared Spectrum 1.5 Differential Thermal Analysis 2. Physical Tests 2.1 Flexural Strength 2.2 Tensile Strength 2.3 Shear Strength 2.4 Gogan or other hardness 2.4.1 SAE J379a 2.5 Specific Gravity 2.5.1 SAE J330 2.6 'lot Gogan 2.7 Hot Compression 2.8 Swell 2.8.1 SAE J160 3. Friction and Uear Tests 3.1 Vehicle Testing 3.1.1 SAE J843d 3.1.2 DOT 121 3.1.3 DOT 105-75 3.1.4 SAE J134a 3.1.5 SAE J786a 3.1.6 SAS J108a 3.1.7 Other applicable procedure 3.2 Inertia Dynamometer 3.2.1 SAE J 667 or any variation 3.2.2 SAE J212 3.2.3 Other applicable procedure 3.3 Bench Dynamometer Chase Machine 3.3.1 SAE J661a 3.3.2 GM-R 60 FAST Machine 3.3.3 Ford FAST -11- FMS117659 VIII FREQUENCY OF VERIFICATION OF DESIGN LIMITS A. The frequency that various physical, cher.ical, mechanical and dimensional properties are verified on a production basis is determined by a combination of very complex variables . The items that are taken into consideration when setting up a test frequency or sampling plan are: 1. The risk of making a bad decision (ie., letting bad material pass). 2. The risk of rejecting good material. 3. The economic consequences of not catching defective material. 4. The cost of the test required to determine the property. 5. The capability of the process for maintaining the property. 6. The importance of the property to functionality. 3. Any sampling plan has two risks associated with it as determined by its operating characteristics curve. These are: 1. The risk of passing bad lots that have a higher defect level than desired. 2. The risk of rejecting good lots. The manufacturer should be aware of these risks and choose his plan accordingly. C. As the frequency of testing increases: 1. Testing costs go up. 2. Possible defects may be discovered sooner. 3. Assuming adequate traceability, the size of any recall goes down. D. The method of selecting the product for test should be appraised carefully to assure that it fits the way the defect occurs. A random sample is an acceptable method only when one is ignorant of the process, the product or the way the defect occurs. A small sample selected with the proper engineering logic and process knowledges is more meaningful than a large random sample. E. Sampling in lieu of 100% testing can be used only if the process capability can be demonstrated. For properties that can be defined with a number (thickness, shear strength, density, length, etc.) a process is considered capable if during an extended period of time the specified tolerance is at or within the limits calculated by accepted statistical techniques. -12- FMS117660 IX ATTACHMENT OF FRICTION ' 'ATFRIAL Documented procedures and frequencies for verifying the quality of attachment should be developed by the manufacturer. These procedures can consist of a combination incoming material controls, in-process controls and both destructive and non-destructive assembly testing. Requirements and standards for determining the quality and integrity of the attachment should be documented. A. Controls Used for Attachment 1. Bonded or Integrally molded attachment (REF: SAE J840) 1.1 Cement Controls 1.1.1 1.1.2 1.1.3 1.1.4 Supplier Certifications Physical Tests (solids, flow, viscosity, etc.) Film Thickness Storage Conditions 1.2 Bonding or Holding Controls 1.2.1 Time and Temperature cycle 1.2.2 Pressure 1.3 Assembly Testing 1.3.1 Shear Testing 1.3.2 Chisel Testing 1.3.3 Proof Load Test 2. Riveted or Bolted Attachment 2.1 Dimensional Checks 2.1.1 2.1.2 2.1.3 2.1.4 Hole and rivet (or bolt) diameter Proper countersink angle of hole and rivet (or bolt) Counterbore diameter Inside radius (arced) or flatness (disc) of material 2.2 Inspection of Assembly 2.2.1 Lining Cracks 2.2.2 Rivet Length 2.2.3 Proper Peening of Rivet (Rivet tightness) -13- FMS117661 X FIELD PROBLEMS AND DEFECT REPOD.TIiTG A. A formal system to expeditiously process field complaints should be established so that: 1. Proper corrective action can be initiated. 2. A record system of defects and corrective action can be maintained. 3. This reporting system should: 1. Be initiated at the level at which the defect is encountered. 2. Be processed directly into the responsible group with possible screenin'? by field engineering. 3. Have emphasis on the speed at which accurate product defect information is fed into the proper engineering or Quality Control group at the manufacturing level. 4. Be completely described in the Quality Ilanual with responsi bility for investigation and corrective action clearly spelled out. C.

Members orders were solicited in 3ULLETIN NO. 589 of January 18, 1977. The basic catalog price of 4374.40/M is the final price. Punchi.np will be 611.50/M (as against $12.60/M estimated). While the catalog has 104 pages and we had estimated 112 pages, we received orders for only 66,000 copies versus our original estimate of 80,000 copies. There appears to be a sizable overrun--in excess of 3,000. Should any members wish to order from the excess, all such copies are covered and punched and would be available at 0385.90/M from the Institute Office.
