Question for our German friends:
Are you allowed to use non oem pads?
Do aftermarket pads have to have TUV certification?
It is true that pads have to be technically approved, which can be verified by an "E"-number plus the regulation used ("90R" / "R90") printed on the pads.

I have however never had any problems w/ pads during my many TÜV inspections, b/c one can rely on the fact that ANY pad sold in Europe MUST have said approval. Otherwise it would be illegal to sell them in the first place.
I can only imagine getting into problems when you source them from abroad. And these problems may actually arise even before TÜV, b/c customs inspectors will deny entry of such goods into the EU.
