Proposal for a reference document concerning a general approach for how to handle measurement uncertainties under UN Regulations within the purview of GRBP.

Proposal to extend the scope of the speed category E to align with the technical evolution of agricultural and forestry vehicles.

Proposal from GRBP to align the definitions of “diagonal” or “bias-ply” and “bias belted” tyre structures to the definitions given in UN R30 and R75, to improve the text with regard to description of the composition of the size designation for metric tyres, and to resolve an apparent contradiction regarding the prefixes IF and VF.

Proposal to align the definitions of “diagonal” or “bias-ply” and “bias belted” tyre structures to the definitions given in UNvR30 and R75, to improve the text with regard to description of the composition of the size designation for metric tyres, and to resolve an apparent contradiction regarding the prefixes IF and VF.

Proposal to amend the definition of “radial tyre” in UN Regulations No. 54, 75, 106, 108 and 109 based on the proposal for UN Regulation No. 30 in document GRBP/2021/9.

Proposal for alternative language regarding markings to avoid use of the term “moulded” which could be interpreted as a technical design restriction and to add a reference to “log-skidder” tyres.

Proposal for alternative language regarding markings to avoid use of the term “moulded” which could be interpreted as a technical design restriction.

Proposal to:

introduce a new paragraph (2.18.13) and amend paragraph 3.1.9.and Annex 3,part D to reconcile contradictions
2. clarify Annex 6 “Test method for measuring tyre dimensions” via references to other provisions
3. Correct example in Annex 3, part C by introducing the dimension “b” for the tyre size designation, and

2. clarify Annex 6 “Test method for measuring tyre dimensions” via references to other provisions
3. Correct example in Annex 3, part C by introducing the dimension “b” for the tyre size designation, and
4. Modify inflation pressure markings.

Proposal to

1. modify the scope with regard to Category S and R agricultural vehicles,
2. modify the paragraph numbering (and related footnotes) to improve text clarity,
3. to correct an error in Annex 5 Table 7 where “35×16” should read “36×16”,
4. amend Annex 7 Part E to address variations of load-carrying capacity for tyres for construction applications (industrial tractors or skid-steers / mini-loaders) with speed category symbol “D”.

Proposal to

1. modify the scope with regard to Category S and R agricultural vehicles,
2. modify the paragraph numbering (and related footnotes) to improve text clarity,
3. to correct an error in Annex 5 Table 7 where “35×16” should read “36×16”,
4. amend Annex 7 Part E to address variations of load-carrying capacity for tyres for construction applications (industrial tractors or skid-steers / mini-loaders) with speed category symbol “D”.

Proposal to add tyre sizes and tyre classification codes common in the United States and standardised by the Tire and Rim Association, but needed under UN Regulation No. 106 in order to permit their type approval in conformity with Regulation EU 167/2013 for imported tyres. The proposal adds kPa marking specifications for use in measurements and tyre testing. The proposal further includes changes to the text and addition of tyre size designations to Annex 5 and Annex 7:

1. Paragraph 2.33.2 deleted since new tables for IF and VF were added to Annex 7
2. Paras 3.2., 3.2.2. and 5.4. modified because “tyres submitted for approval” cannot bear an approval mark until approved and the “only” as it is written can be misunderstood. Para. 3.2.2. was aligned to the wording in other UN Regulations. Reference to para. 3.3 in paragraph 5.4. is deleted because paragraph 3.3 does not refer to specific markings
3. Para 6.1.2. amended to align the wording to the headers in Annex 5 and to correct the reference to the footnote
4. Para 6.2.1. amended to restore the proper references after renumbering resulting from the latest Supplements
5. The amendment of Annex 5, Table 5 adds the value for the overall diameter (D) in column (*) that applies to tyres marked with classification code “I-3”
6. Annex 5, Table 6, Note 1 amended because most of the tyre sizes listed in the table, especially those identified by the “classification code I‐3” (i.e. Traction tread), are currently available in both versions: ‘implement’ to be used on agricultural machinery and ‘IND’ to be used on construction vehicles. The two types of tyres have the same type of size designation and the same dimensions. Therefore some manufacturers identify those tyres with the suffix ‘IND’ rather than with the suffix ‘IMP’ thus applying the variation of load capacity with speed as published in Annex 7 Part E. The reason for this proposal is to avoid a duplication of tables with a new table only replacing the suffix IMP with the suffix IND.
7. The addition of the footnote to Annex 5, Table 7 answers the request by GRRF to introduce appropriate formulae in the Regulation instead of continuously updating Annex 5.
8. References in Annex 7 corrected pursuant to the renumbering following the introduction of three new paragraphs in Supplement 15 approved during the 172nd session of WP.29.
9. Annex 7, Part A amended to conform with Tire and Rim Association specifications for code designated diagonal tyres with speed symbol A8.

This document consolidates previous documents GRRF/2017/19 and informal document GRRF-84-17 taking into account the request for addition of tyre sizes and tyre classification codes common in the United States and standardised by the Tire and Rim Association, but needed to be added to UN Regulation No. 106 in order to permit their type approval in order to conform to Regulation EU 167/2013 for tyres to be exported to Europe. It includes addition/modifications of some paragraphs to the main text of the Regulation as well as the addition of some tyre size designations to Annex 5 and Annex 7:

1. ISO 4251-4 replaced by ISO 18805
2. Paragraph 2.33.2 deleted since new tables for IF and VF were added to Annex 7

Germany reviews problems with applying UN specifications for the marking of winter tyres, covering disparities in definitions and performance requirements across the tyre regulations (UN R30, R54, R75, R106, R108, R109 and R117). Therefore, Germany proposes that GRRF work to resolve these disparities and offers two possible solutions: 1) Introduce the definition of "Snow tyre for use in severe snow conditions” and the related performance and marking requirements established under UN R109 and R117 into UN R30, R54, R75, R108, and (possibly) R106; 2) Amending UN R117 to extend the scope of its snow performance criteria to additional tyre classes and categories, such as special tyres (POR, MPT), all terrain (AT) tyres, and retreaded tyres for passenger cars.

Regulation No. 106 contains standardized tyre sizes, which often need to be updated, following the technical progress. In order to accelerate the update process of the Regulation and limit the number of amendments, it is proposed to insert in a new Resolution the standardized sizes and to refer to this Resolution in Annex 5. As a temporary solution to assess the effectiveness of such proposal, the Annex 5 of Regulation No. 106 will be kept as it is with no further updates. After a trial period of approximately two years and upon confirmation of effectiveness, the complete Annex 5 of Regulation No. 106 would be transferred to this Resolution on Tyre Sizes.

Proposal to:

1. Align definitions and contents of paragraphs with the other tyre regulations (UN R30, R54, R117, etc.);
2. Include a definition of “Manufacturer” extracted from the resolution “R.E.3”;
3. Adopt a common definition and use of the terms “Manufacturer’s name”," Brand name", “Trademark”, “Trade description” and “Commercial name” and their links;
4. Clarify which markings shall be moulded on both sidewalls of the tyre; and those which shall be moulded on one sidewall only;
5. Add information in the certificate to clarify the relationship with the certified products;
6. Align definitions with Regulation EU 167/2013 which defines vehicles in category S as “interchangeable towed equipment” and includes tread patterns for ‘implement traction tyres’ that consist of blocks rather than lugs or cleats;
7. Eliminate redundant marking requirements with the requirement for “@kPa” markings effective from 1 September 2017;
8. Clarify the inflation pressure to be used for measurements and tests and related tyre markings;
9. Align the current rules for calculating the dimensional limits in accordance with ISO, all major tyre standards, and as proposed for UN R30, R54, and R75;
