SUGGESTIONS • Communication tool to promote GTR to countries non-CP of UNECE • NG to refer to GTS2000 due to the various changes occurred mainly to FMVSS • Priority on sidewall markings harmonization • Select the best regulatory practice – most appropriate standard (engineering, physical and scientific point-of-view, related to real world performance and validated) • For approval of a world class tyre • Economical evaluation in case of specific requirement (world class vs regional requirements) • Table of recognition with acceptance of test methods by Countries (no need for supplementary markings) • Define precisely the tyre type vs vehicle type (ref. SR1 vehicle mass and categories harmonization of UNECE WP.29) ETRTO/RMA/JATMA
INTRODUCTION • The Tyre Industry, in order to be a global player in the global market, currently is required to comply with a number of different national or even regional requirements that exist across the global market and which add cost, leadtime and complexity to tyres. ETRTO/RMA/JATMA
