yes, it's OK, that's just typical marketing hype. It *meets* the standards too, and *exceeds* them as well, like nearly every other brake fluid out there. Properly operating brakes should be strong enough to lock the wheels, front and back. Not that you want to stop that way, but for checking performance, yes. Disc brakes are generally better performers than drums, and your rear brakes should definitely be able to lock if they are in good shape as there is less weight on them when you are decelerating going forward.
