On October 21, the first batch of “Chinese Tire Labels” by China Rubber Industry Association were officially approved and issued to five enterprises.

The five enterprises were Shandong Fengyuan Tire Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Qingdao Doublestar Tire Industry Co., Ltd. affiliated to Doublestar Group Co., Ltd., Shandong Doublestar Tire Co., Ltd., Double Coin Group (Jiangsu) Tire Co., Ltd. affiliated to Double Coin Tire Co., Ltd., and Double Coin Group (Chongqing) Tire Co., Ltd.

After the preliminary examination of application materials, China Rubber Industry Association accepted the application forms and letters of commitment with the official seals affixed and signatures of the enterprises’ legal persons signed of five enterprises, as well as the detection reports on rolling resistance coefficient, wet-land function, and rolling noise provided by the third-party public service platform. According to relative laws and regulations, the Tire Grading Standard and the Management Rules for Tires Labeling, after expert review, China Rubber Industry Association signed with five enterprises written Terms of Use for tire labels, officially approving and issuing the first batch of “Chinese Tire Labels”.

It is known that the “tire label” specifies the oil-reserving function, braking function and tire noise level of brands of tires, providing customers with a more visual judgment standard, which will guide customers to find cost-effective products and curb the pervasiveness of counterfeit and shoddy products in the market. By scanning the “tire label” QR code, customers indirectly get to know details like the basic information about companies, tire classification, term of validity of labels, pattern features, etc.

According to Zhu Hong, director of the Technical and Economic Committee for China Rubber Industry Association, the Tire Grading Standard and the Management Rules for Tires Labeling would be officially implemented from September 15. Since the platform for online declaration and data management was opened to enterprises on that day, it has accepted consultation from plenty of companies. By now, over 20 large Chinese tire companies along with other ones with foreign investment have officially logged onto the platform for application.
