Hello everyone,
This term appears in the following paragraph (instruction manual for a semitrailer's EBS braking system for EN_GB Market), but I cannot find information about it:
Bei Fahrzeugen mit EBS und dynamischer Bremsregelung ist eine Bremsabstimmung nicht erforderlich und nicht durchführbar. Nach den ersten 5.000 km Fahrt auf die Einhaltung der **EG-Bremsenbänder*** prüfen.

EC deceleration bands
Bremsband/deceleration band is measure of brake performance. From first reference below:
'The deceleration band stipulates the range in which the deceleration (in %) must be at a certain control pressure'
The second reference below shows the reference bands for towed and towing vehicles or, in your case, semitrailers.
Evidently there are specified braking performance ranges for every respective semitrailer/vehicle, shown by a characteristic curve on the graph (x-axis = pressure, y-axis = deceleration as %). The vehicle is in-spec when the behavior curve is within these bands. Here's a discussion in German stating exactly that:
'mit EG-Bremsband: die Berechnung erfolgt wie bei „mit beladenem Fahrzeug“, das Fahrzeug muß aber nicht mindestens zu 2/3 beladen sein, dafür muß sich die Abbremsungskurve innerhalb des EG-Bremsbands bewegen'

margins of tolerance as defined by ECE R90
i.e. 15%
R90 calls for linings to be tested for speed sensitivity, cold performance, and replacement Brake pads and brake shoes are permitted to deviate from the frictional characteristics of their original-equipment counterparts by not more than 15%.

After the first 5,000km, test for compliance with ECE R90.

: Maybe, but "R90" seems like overtranslation, and you haven't explained how EG in German becomes ECE in English.
