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Point in time view as at 31/12/2020.
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.

They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time.

For the purposes of testing wet grip of C1 tyres, the following definitions apply:
‘ test run ’ means a single pass of a loaded tyre over a given test track surface;
‘ test tyre(s) ’ means a candidate tyre, a reference tyre or a control tyre or tyre set that is used in a test run;
‘candidate tyre(s) (T) ’ means a tyre or a tyre set that is tested for the purpose of calculating its wet grip index;
‘reference tyre(s) (R) ’ means a tyre or a tyre set that has the characteristics indicated in ASTM F 2493-08 and referred to as Standard Reference Test Tyre 16 inches (SRTT16″);
‘control tyre(s) (C) ’ means an intermediate tyre or a set of intermediate tyres which is used when the candidate tyre and the reference tyre cannot be directly compared on the same vehicle;
‘ braking force of a tyre ’ means the longitudinal force, expressed in newton, resulting from braking torque application;
‘braking force coefficient of a tyre (BFC) ’ means the ratio of the braking force to the vertical load;
‘ peak braking force coefficient of a tyre ’ means the maximum value of a tyre braking force coefficient that occurs prior to wheel lockup as the braking torque is progressively increased;
‘ lockup of a wheel ’ means the condition of a wheel in which its rotational velocity about the wheel spin axis is zero and it is prevented from rotating in the presence of applied wheel torque;
‘ vertical load ’ means the load in newton imposed on the tyre perpendicular to the road surface;
‘ tyre test vehicle ’ means a dedicated special purpose vehicle which has instruments to measure the vertical and the longitudinal forces on one test tyre during braking.]

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.
