Regulation (EU) 2020/740 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 2020 on the labelling of tyres with respect to fuel efficiency and other parameters, amending Regulation (EU) 2017/1369 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009
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.).
This is the original version as it was originally adopted in the EU.
This legislation may since have been updated - see the latest available (revised) version
The fuel efficiency class shall be determined and illustrated on the tyre label on the basis of the rolling resistance coefficient (RRC in N/kN) according to the ‘A’ to ‘E’ scale specified in the table below and measured in accordance with Annex 6 to UNECE Regulation No 117 and aligned in accordance with the laboratory alignment procedure set out in Annex V.
If a tyre type belongs to more than one tyre class (e.g. C1 and C2), the grading scale used to determine the fuel efficiency class of that tyre type shall be that which is applicable to the highest tyre class (e.g. C2, not C1).
C1 tyres | C2 tyres | C3 tyres | |
---|---|---|---|
Fuel efficiency class | RRC in N/kN | RRC in N/kN | RRC in N/kN |
A | RRC ≤ 6,5 | RRC ≤ 5,5 | RRC ≤ 4,0 |
B | 6,6 ≤ RRC ≤ 7,7 | 5,6 ≤ RRC ≤ 6,7 | 4,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 5,0 |
C | 7,8 ≤ RRC ≤ 9,0 | 6,8 ≤ RRC ≤ 8,0 | 5,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 6,0 |
D | 9,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 10,5 | 8,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 9,0 | 6,1 ≤ RRC ≤ 7,0 |
E | RRC ≥ 10,6 | RRC ≥ 9,1 | RRC ≥ 7,1 |
G = G(T)-0,03
where:
G(T) = wet grip index of the candidate tyre as measured in one test cycle
C1 tyres | C2 tyres | C3 tyres | |
---|---|---|---|
Wet grip class | G | G | G |
A | 1,55 ≤ G | 1,40 ≤ G | 1,25 ≤ G |
B | 1,40 ≤ G ≤ 1,54 | 1,25 ≤ G ≤ 1,39 | 1,10 ≤ G ≤ 1,24 |
C | 1,25 ≤ G ≤ 1,39 | 1,10 ≤ G ≤ 1,24 | 0,95 ≤ G ≤ 1,09 |
D | 1,10 ≤ G ≤ 1,24 | 0,95 ≤ G ≤ 1,09 | 0,80 ≤ G ≤ 0,94 |
E | G ≤ 1,09 | G ≤ 0,94 | G ≤ 0,79 |
The external rolling noise measured value (N, in dB(A)) shall be declared in decibels and calculated in accordance with Annex 3 to UNECE Regulation No 117.
The external rolling noise class shall be determined and illustrated on the tyre label on the basis of the limit values (LV) set out in Part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 as follows:
The snow grip performance shall be tested in accordance with Annex 7 to UNECE Regulation No 117.
A tyre which satisfies the minimum snow grip index values set out in UNECE Regulation No 117 shall be classified as a tyre for use in severe snow conditions and the following pictogram shall be included on the tyre label.
The ice grip performance shall be tested in accordance with reliable, accurate and reproducible methods, including, where appropriate, international standards, which take into account the generally recognised state of the art.
The tyre label of a tyre which satisfies the relevant minimum ice grip index values shall include the following pictogram.
