EC publishes amended tyre label regulation

ERJ staff report (DS)

Brussels -- The European Commission has updated its official tyre labelling regulation. The changes finally set the detailed rules for wet grip grading of tyres, the measurement of rolling resistance and the verification procedure.

The new regulation is named as Commission regulation no  1235/2011, dated 29 November. It amends Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009 which was adopted on 25 November 2009 .

The regulation was published in the 30 November edition of the Official Journal of the European Union and enters into force 20 days after publication. It becomes effective from 30 May 2012, ensuring companies have good time to  use the regulation ahead of the introduction of tyre labels from 1 November.
