Abstract
This document amends our standard on brake fluids by removing the evaporation test and modifying the corrosion test. We are removing the evaporation test because we have concluded that it is unnecessary, given changes in brake system designs and in brake fluid formulations since the test was developed. We are modifying the corrosion test to improve test repeatability and reproducibility.
