NEW EU TYRE LABEL

The new EU Tyre Label is designed to provide clear and standardised classification details to help consumers make purchasing decisions that can save on fuel consumption, cut emissions and reduce costs. With this information, consumers can choose to opt for safe, fuel-efficient and quieter tyres. The label design was based on the familiar EU Energy Efficiency Label.

The new regulation will come into effect on 1 May 2021. However, manufacturers may supply dealers with tyres showing the old label up to 30 November 2021.

Differences in Label Classification

  • Tyres designed for extreme winter conditions will also display an ice icon.

  • The new labelling system will also apply to heavy vehicles (truck and bus tyres).

  • QR code – when scanned, links to the European Product Database for Energy Labelling (EPREL).

  • The sound wave icon that is currently used to express tyre noise will be replaced by A, B and C class ratings.
