New EU rules on labelling of tyres

Published: Sept. 7, 2018, 7 a.m.

b'In May 2018, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a new regulation on the labelling of tyres for the purposes of fuel efficiency, safety, and noise reduction. This would increase consumer awareness of the tyre label and improve market surveillance and enforcement. It would oblige suppliers to display the tyre label in all forms of purchase, including where the tyre is not physically shown in the store and where it is sold online or on a long-distance basis. The tyre would now also apply to heavy-duty vehicles, and include visual information on tyre performance in snow or ice conditions. From 2020, all tyre labels would be included in the new product registration database for energy efficiency labelling.
