EU Regulation 20/740 of May 25, 2020 on the labeling of tires with respect to fuel efficiency and other parameters, came into force on May 1, 2021.
5 modifications are to be highlighted:
- Tire identification information, such as brand and type designation, is included on the label.
- 5 classes of fuel efficiency and wet grip (from "A" to "E") are listed instead of 7 previously.
- The external rolling noise class is now indicated on a scale from "A" to "C" and the external rolling noise value is reported in decibels (dB).
- A QR code allows the general public to access the European Energy Labeling Database (EPREL) and provides detailed information on all registered products.
- Le cas échéant, des pictogrammes indiquent si le pneu est destiné à être utilisé dans des conditions de neige et/ou verglas, aidant l’utilisateur final à identifier et acheter des pneumatiques spécialement conçus pour les zones avec des conditions hivernales.
