  3. correct the wording from “load capacity index” to “load index” (as defined in para. 2.32);
  4. correct a reference to para. 3.2.13. of the Regulation in Annex 7, Appendix 1;
  5. correct a boundary value of load index in Annex 7, Appendix 1;

In Annex 10, the proposal aligns the text with Annex 7 of UN R117, 02 series of amendments, Supplement 5.

The proposal would also clarify provisions for the minimum heights for markings for tyres with nominal rim diameter codes ≥ 20 and nominal section width ≤ 235 and for tyres with nominal rim diameter codes < 20 and nominal section width > 235. The proposal also corrects tables and figures for the use of lowercase letter to denote tyre dimension specifications.

WP.29/2018/59

In order to have a Regulation on the retreaded tyres with definitions and provisions structured in the same way of those previously introduced in amendments of “new tyres” Regulations, this amendment:

  1. Indicates that for the purpose of this Regulation “tyres” means “pneumatic tyres”, so all the text has been reviewed
  2. Introduces a definition of :
    • “retreader” copy based on that “manufacturer” in the tyres regulations
    • Brand name", “Trademark”, “Trade description” and “Commercial name” as defined in the tyre regulations
    • Material manufacturer / material supplier
  3. Takes into account the rounding rules (already approved in the other tyre regulations) for the calculation of width and diameter of the tyres
  4. Aligns the title and the provisions of the para. 12 related to the names and addresses of Technical Services, Approved Laboratories and administrative Department with their equivalent in the tyres regulations
