Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009 on the labelling of tyres with respect to fuel efficiency and other essential parameters (Text with EEA relevance)
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
Point in time view as at 31/01/2020.
There are outstanding changes not yet made to Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Any changes that have already been made to the legislation appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
[F1The fuel efficiency class must be determined on the basis of the rolling resistance coefficient ( RRC ) according to the ‘A’ to ‘G’ scale specified below and measured in accordance with Annex 6 of UNECE Regulation No 117 and its subsequent amendments and aligned according to the procedure laid down in Annex IVa.]
Textual Amendments
F1 Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1235/2011 of 29 November 2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the wet grip grading of tyres, the measurement of rolling resistance and the verification procedure (Text with EEA relevance).
If a tyre type is approved for more than one tyre class (e.g. C1 and C2), the grading scale used to determine the fuel efficiency class of this tyre type should be that which is applicable to the highest tyre class (e.g. C2, not C1).
C1 tyres | C2 tyres | C3 tyres | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
RRC in kg/t | Energy efficiency class | RRC in kg/t | Energy efficiency class | RRC in kg/t | Energy efficiency class |
RRC ≤ 6,5 | A | RRC ≤ 5,5 | A | RRC ≤ 4,0 | A |
6,6 ≤ RRC ≤ 7,7 | B | 5,6 ≤ RRC ≤ 6,7 | B | 4,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 5,0 | B |
7,8 ≤ RRC ≤ 9,0 | C | 6,8 ≤ RRC ≤ 8,0 | C | 5,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 6,0 | C |
Empty | D | Empty | D | 6,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 7,0 | D |
9,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 10,5 | E | 8,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 9,2 | E | 7,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 8,0 | E |
10,6 ≤ RRC ≤ 12,0 | F | 9,3 ≤ RRC ≤ 10,5 | F | RRC ≥ 8,1 | F |

The external rolling noise measured value (N) must be declared in decibels and calculated in accordance with UNECE Regulation No 117 and its subsequent amendments.
The external rolling noise class must be determined on the basis of the limit values (LV) set out in Part C of Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 as follows.

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
