Clarifications and corrections to document GRRF/2014/26 which proposes to alter the marking requirements of UN R54 to replace the PSI Index by the inflation pressure in kilopascals (“kPa”) and to add the possibility to put the “LT” marking as a prefix or suffix to align the requirements with current practice for C2 tyres with metric size designation.

Proposal to alter the marking requirements after November 2016 to replace the PSI Index by indicating the inflation pressure in kilopascals (“kPa”) and to add the possibility to put the “LT” marking as a prefix or suffix to align the requirements with current practice for C2 tyres with metric size designation

Document GRRF/2015/27 proposes to modify the marking requirements to replace PSI with kilopascals (“kPa”). The intent is to harmonize the pressure indication and avoid confusion between UN Regulation No. 54 and US FMVSS 119 or FMVSS 139. This proposal would allow for the use of kPa markings in place of PSI prior to the 1 January 2018 transition date.

Proposal to modify the marking requirements to replace PSI with kilopascals (“kPa”). The intent is to harmonize the pressure indication and avoid confusion between UN Regulation No. 54 and US FMVSS 119 or FMVSS 139. The proposal would also change the measurement units for drum speed from min^-1 to km.h^-1 in alignment with the requirements with other tyre regulations and align the wording in Annex 7, Appendix 1 with the text of the Regulation.
