Abstract
This chapter tries to summarize the situation regarding existing regulation on brake and tire composition, worldwide. The most important pieces of legislation affecting brake composition include asbestos ban; REACH and REACH-like regulations; the European regulation on classification, labeling, and packaging of chemical substances and mixtures; and regional regulations related to restrictions on the use of trace elements and heavy metals. On the other hand, tire composition is driven mainly from REACH and REACH-like regulations, while it is also affected from the Global Automotive Declarable Substances List and International Material Data System. The most important chemical substances prohibited in brake manufacturing include asbestos, cadmium, chromium (VI), lead, and mercury, while in case of tires, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
