Tyre labelling : manufacturer's responsibility
The tyre labelling regulations in force since 2012 were revised from 1 May 2021 (Regulation (EU) 2020/740) and now include more criteria.
Tyre labels have a clear common performance classification based on several criteria: rolling resistance, braking in the wet, and external noise. They must now also provide information about snow grip and ice grip for winter tyres, as well as a QR code displaying all the technical information about the tyre, to make it easier to compare different tyres on the market.
Our team of experts can support you to meet the additional quality and safety requirements and enable you to market your products all over the world.
