EU tire new regulations raise export tire concerns
Recently, the European Commission issued the relevant tire labeling regulations - EC1222/2009. Since November 1, 2012, tires for passenger cars, light truck tires, truck tires and buses sold in the European Union must be labelled to indicate the tires. The fuel efficiency, rolling noise and wet grip rating. This regulation has standardized the three major properties of tires: fuel economy (ie, tire rolling resistance requirements), which is divided into 7 grades from A to G; wet grip grade, divided into 6 grades from A to F; Road noise level, according to the provisions of the test noise value is divided into three levels: N ≤ LV-3, LV-3LV, and with a black label. The goal is to reduce energy consumption in Europe by 20% by 2020. In recent years, the European Union has increasingly improved the safety and environmental protection requirements for imported tires. This regulation is again strictly limited after the European Union's REACH regulation restricts the use of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in tires. At present, the EU has become an important market for China's export of tires. Take Jiangsu as an example. Jiangsu is an important base for tire production in China. Tire export volume ranks second in the country. In 2010, Jiangsu exported EU tires accounted for 26.9% of exports. , ranked first. Therefore, the implementation of the series of EU-specific regulations for the tire industry will have an impact on China’s tire exports to the EU. To this end, the inspection and inspection department recommends that: First, tire enterprises exporting to the European Union should attach great importance to and seriously study the relevant new regulations of EU tires, and actively formulate relevant countermeasures, improve the quality control system and related project testing platforms, and from the production process On the improvement of technology, and actively improve the environmental performance of products; at the same time accelerate the development of foreign emerging markets, especially countries such as ASEAN, India and China have signed a free trade agreement, the implementation of "diversification" strategy to reduce the excessive concentration of tire export market risk. Second, the inspection and quarantine departments should strengthen the tracking of REACH regulations and tire labeling regulations, give full play to the advantages of information and technology, and do a good job in the technical service to the tire companies in Europe. Thirdly, the relevant standards-setting departments should also speed up the follow-up of EU tire labeling regulations and REACH regulations, establish and implement new regulations in line with international regulations in the field of tire technology, and improve China's automobile tire safety and international competitiveness.
