Proposal to correct paragraph number references due to the recent renumbering of definitions.

Proposal to allow for the case of a tyre designed for a special application that also fulfills the requirements for a snow tyre such that the tyre, at the manufacturers initiative, shall be marked with the inscription M+S or M.S or M&S while remaining in the category of use “special use tyre”. The proposal further adds “test laboratories” in the headline of paragraph 12. as quoted in subparagraph 12.1. in document WP.29/2016/51 as adopted during the June WP.29 session with the aim of harmonizing the tyre regulations.

Proposal to

• amend the tyre dimensional requirements,
• amend the requirements for the load/speed performance test,
• align definitions and content with the other tyre regulations (UN Regulations Nos. 117, 54, 75 etc.),
• include a definition of “manufacturer” extracted from the resolution R.E.3,
• adopt a common definition and use of the terms “Manufacturer’s name”, “Brand name”, “Trademark”, “Trade description” and “Commercial name” and their links, and
• add information in the certificate to enable approval authorities to more easily understand the products the certificate addresses.
