ETRMA recommends Rubber Consultants as accredited PAH test centre

ERJ staff report (DS)

Brickendonbury, Hertfordshire -- Rubber Consultants -- the commercial arm of the Tun Abdul Razak Research (TARRC) Laboratory -- has been acknowledged as a certified independent testing body by the European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers' Association (ETRMA).

On 1st March 2011 ETRMA urged EU and National Authorities to intensify and broaden testing and enforcement activities on the compliance with the PAH rich oil ban in tyres.

After an initial round of testing on 110 tyres, the tests showed 11 percent were non-compliant. Rubber Consultants' long held expertise in rubber and tyre testing was utilised by ETRMA to independently verify initial findings.
