EU Tire Label Law will be formally implemented on November 1

EU tire labeling law will be officially implemented on November 1, 2012. The regulations require cars sold in the European Union tires, light truck tires, truck tires and bus tires must be labeled to indicate their fuel efficiency of tires, wet road grip level of soil fertility and road noise. The implementation of the tire labeling system focuses on the promotion of green tires.

For China's tire industry, one side is the good news of the expiration of the US special security case, and the other is the impact and test that the EU's green tire labeling law will bring.

It is reported that the EU Tire Label Law will be formally implemented on November 1, 2012. The regulations require that tires for passenger cars, light truck tires, truck tires, and buses sold in the EU must be labeled to indicate the tire's fuel efficiency, wet road grip, and road noise level. The core of the tire labeling system is the promotion of green tires. The goal is to reduce energy consumption in Europe by 20% by 2020.

According to statistics, the rolling resistance of passenger car tires in China is mostly grades E and F. Most of them can meet the minimum requirements for the first phase of the EU, but a considerable proportion of products cannot meet the minimum requirements of the second phase of the EU. Shanghai Tyre & Rubber (Group) Co., Ltd.'s investigation and analysis of national heavy-duty tires shows that about 30% of heavy-duty tires do not meet the minimum requirements for rolling resistance in the first phase of the EU, and 70% do not reach the second-stage rolling resistance of the EU. Minimum requirements.

Zhuchuang information provided by the data show that from 2009 to 2011, China's exports to the EU's tires accounted for the proportion of total tire exports were 15.15%, 16.31%, 18.43%, respectively, the export amount of 16.17%, 17.24% , 19.56%, are rising year by year.

Industry insiders told reporters that the domestic tire companies' products are mainly low-end, cost-effective to occupy the market, itself is mainly used as a spare tire, repair shop with tires, etc., the quality level in general. However, the labeling law of the European Union does not have a definite boundary at present. If it is lower than what kind of parameter requirements, it cannot be exported. It is also necessary to observe the specific implementation standards set by the EU.

In the face of new shocks, some domestic enterprises are already preparing. According to the reporter's understanding, Shuangqin shares have been labeling after July 1, 2012; the tires sold by Fengshen shares can reach EU standards; S-Glen tires can reach the first phase of the EU standard, and the second phase is still under evaluation.
