Before granting approval the authority must be satisfied that retreaded tyres conform to this Regulation and that the tests prescribed in paragraphs 6. 5 and 6. 6 have been successfully carried out on at least 5 and not necessarily more than 20 samples of retreaded tyres representative of the range of tyres produced by the retreading production unit. In the case of each failure being recorded during tests, two further samples of the same specification tyre shall be tested. If either or both of these second two samples fail, then a final submission of two samples shall be tested. If either or both of the final two samples fail, then the application for approval of the retreading production unit shall be rejected. If all the requirements of this Regulation are met, then approval shall be granted and an approval number shall be assigned to each retreading production unit approved. The first two digits of this number shall indicate the series of amendments incorporating the most recent major technical amendments made to the Regulation at the time of issue of the approval. The approval number shall be preceded by (cid:132)109R(cid:147) signifying that the approval applies to a tyre retreaded as prescribed in this Regulation. C 212 E/86 DE Amtsblatt der Europ(cid:228)ischen Gemeinschaften 25. 7. 2000 The same authority shall not assign the same number to another production unit covered by this Regulation. Notice of approval or of extension, refusal or withdrawal of approval or of production definitely discontinued pursuant to this Regulation shall be communicated to the Parties to the 1958 Agreement applying this Regulation, by means of a form conforming to the model in annex 1 to this Regulation. There shall be affixed conspicuously to every retreaded tyre conforming to this Regulation, in the space referred to in paragraph 3. 3 and in addition to the markings prescribed in paragraph 3. 2, an international approval mark consisting of: A circle surrounding the letter (cid:132)E(cid:147) followed by the distinguishing number of the country which granted approval (1); and An approval number as described in paragraph 5. 6. Annex 2 to this Regulation gives an example of the arrangements of the approval mark. PRESCRIPTIONS Tyres shall not be accepted for first retread unless they have been type approved and bear either an (cid:132)E(cid:147) or (cid:132)e(cid:147) mark, except that this requirement shall not be mandatory until 1 January 2000 at the latest. Conditions before retreading: Tyres shall be clean and dry before inspection. Before buffing, each tyre shall be thoroughly examined both internally and externally to ensure its suitability for retreading. Tyres where damage is visible which has resulted from overload or underinflation shall not be retreaded.

Preparation: After buffing, and before the application of new material, each tyre shall be thoroughly re-examined, at least externally, to ensure its continued suitability for retreading. The entire surface to which new material is to be applied shall have been prepared without overheating. The buffed surface texture shall not contain deep buffing lacerations or loose material. Where procured material is to be used the contours of the prepared area shall meet the requirements of the material manufacturer. Damage caused during buffing must not exceed defined limits of repair, see paragraph 5. 3, and must be repaired. Buffing damage to diagonal ply tyres shall not extend beyond the outermost carcass ply in the crown area. It shall be assumed that the first ply encountered is a carcass ply unless a breaker can be positively identified. If a breaker is fitted, localised damage is permissible. Localised buffing damage to the belt of radial tyres is permissible. For larger damage it is permissible for the complete belt or sections of the belt to be replaced. Where a protective breaker is fitted, and can be positively identified as such, if it is damaged it is permissible to remove it and it need not be renewed. Exposed steel parts shall be treated as soon as possible with appropriate material as defined by the manufacturer of that appropriate material. Retreading: The retreader must ensure that either the manufacturer or the supplier of repair materials, including patches, is responsible for the following: (a) defining method(s) of application and storage, if requested by the retreader, in the national language of the country in which the materials are to be used; (b) defining limits of damage for which the materials are designed, if requested by the retreader, in the national language of the country in which the materials are to be used; (c) ensuring that reinforced patches for tyres, if correctly applied in carcass repairs, are suitable for the purpose; (d) ensuring that the patches are capable of withstanding twice the maximum inflation pressure as given by the tyre manufacturer; (e) ensuring the suitability of any other repair materials for the service intended. The retreader shall be responsible for the correct application of the repair material and for ensuring that the repair is free from any defects which may affect the satisfactory service life of the tyre. The area surrounding a reinforced repair to a sidewall or shoulder of a radial ply tyre may bulge slightly when the tyre is fitted and inflated to the recommended operating pressure. Reinforced repair materials with physical properties that restrict the height of the bulge to not more than 4 mm shall be used. The retreader shall ensure that either the manufacturer or the supplier of tread and sidewall material issues specifications concerning the conditions of storage and use of the material in order to guarantee the material’s qualities. If requested by the retreader, this information shall be in the national language of the country in which the materials are to be used. The retreader must ensure that the repair material and/or compound is documented in a manufacturer’s or supplier’s certificate. The material compound must be suitable for the intended use of the tyre. The processed tyre shall be cured as soon as possible after the completion of all repairs and building-up operations and at the latest according to the material manufacturer’s specifications. The tyre shall be cured for the length of time and at the temperature and pressure, appropriate to, and specified for, the materials and processing equipment used. The dimensions of the mould must be appropriate to the thickness of the new material and the size of the buffed tyre. The thickness of original material after buffing and the average thickness of any new material under the tread pattern after retreading shall be as given in paragraphs 6. 4. 8. 1 and 6. 4. 8. 2. 6. 4. 8. 1.

For diagonal (Bias-ply) tyres: The thickness of original material above the breaker shall be ‡ 0. 80 mm; The average thickness of new material above the buffed casting line shall be ‡ 2. 00 mm; The combined thickness of original and new material beneath the base of the grooves of the tread pattern shall be ‡ 3. 00 mm and £ 13. 00 mm. 6. 4. 9. The service description of a retreaded tyre shall not show either a higher speed symbol or a higher load index than that of the original, first life, tyre unless approval has been granted to the manufacturer of the original, first life, tyre for that same carcass to be used at the revised service description. Information that an original, first life, carcass has been upgraded in this way shall be made freely available by an approval authority to any retreading production unit and shall be communicated to other parties to the 1958 Agreement (see Article 5 of the Agreement Concerning the Adoption of Uniform Technical Prescriptions for Wheeled Vehicles, Equipment and Parts which can be Fitted and/or Used on Wheeled Vehicles and the Conditions for Reciprocal Recognition of Approvals Granted on the basis of these Prescriptions (cid:151) document E/ECE/324-E/ECE/TRANS/505/Rev. 2). The standard form shown in annex 1 to Regulation No. 54 shall be used to communicate this information. 6. 4. 10. Upgrading of the service description as given in paragraph 6. 4. 9 shall only be permitted for the first retread of an original, first life tyre. Tyres which have been previously retreaded shall not have either the speed symbol or the load index raised above that shown on the used casing. 6. 5. 6. 5. 1. 6. 5. 2. 6. 5. 3. Inspection: After curing, whilst a degree of heat is retained in a tyre, each retreaded tyre shall be examined to ensure that it is free from any apparent defects. During or after retreading the tyre must be inflated to at least 1. 5 bar for examination. Where there is any apparent defect in the profile of the tyre (e. g. blister, depression, etc. ) the tyre shall be specifically examined to determine the cause of this defect. Before, during or after retreading the tyre shall be checked at least once for the integrity of its structure by means of a suitable inspection method. For the purposes of quality control a number of retreaded tyres shall be subjected to destructive or non destructive testing or examination. The quantity of tyres checked and the results shall be recorded. 25. 7. 2000 DE Amtsblatt der Europ(cid:228)ischen Gemeinschaften C 212 E/89 6. 5. 4. 6. 6. 6. 6. 1. 6. 6. 2. 6. 6. 3. 7. 7. 1. After retreading, the dimensions of the retreaded tyre, when measured in accordance with annex 6 to this Regulation, must conform either to dimensions calculated according to the procedures in paragraph 7 or to those given in annex 5 to this Regulation. Note that the maximum outer diameter of a retreaded tyre may be up to 1. 5 per cent greater than the maximum outer diameter of a new, original tyre permitted by Regulation No 54. Performance test: Tyres retreaded to comply with this Regulation shall be capable of meeting the load/speed endurance test as specified in annex 7 to this Regulation. A retreaded tyre which after undergoing the load/speed endurance test does not exhibit any tread separation, ply separation, cord separation, chunking or broken cords shall be deemed to have passed the test. The outer diameter of the tyre, measured six hours after the load/speed endurance test, must not differ by more than – 3. 5 per cent from the outer diameter as measured before the test. SPECIFICATIONS Tyres retreaded to comply with this Regulation shall conform to the following dimensions: 7. 1. 1. Section width: 7. 1. 1. 1. The section width shall be calculated by the following formula: S (cid:136) S1 (cid:135) K(cid:133)A (cid:151) A1(cid:134) where: S: is the actual section width in millimetres as measured on the test rim; S1: is the value of the (cid:132)Design Section Width(cid:147), referred to the measuring rim, as quoted in the International Tyre Standard specified by the retreader for the tyre size in question; A: is the width of the test rim in millimetres; A1: is the width in millimetres of the measuring rim as quoted in the International Tyre Standard specified by the retreader for the tyre size in question. K: is a factor and shall be taken to equal 0. 4. 7. 1. 2. Outer diameter: 7. 1. 2. 1. The theoretical outer diameter of a retreaded tyre shall be calculated by the following formula: where: D: is the theoretical outer diameter in millimetres, D (cid:136) d (cid:135) 2H d: is the conventional number defined in paragraph 2. 21. 3 in millimetres; H: is nominal section height in millimetres and is equal to Sn multiplied by 0. 01 Ra where: Sn: is the nominal section width in millimetres; Ra: is the nominal aspect ratio. All of the above symbols are as quoted in the tyre size designation as shown on the sidewall of the tyre in conformity with the requirements of paragraph 3. 2. 2 and as defined in paragraph 2. 21. 7. 1. 2. 2. However, for tyres whose designation is given in the first column of the tables in annex 5 to ECE Regulation No 54, the outer diameter shall be that given in those tables. 7. 1. 3. Method of measuring retreaded tyres: 7. 1. 3. 1. The dimensions of retreaded tyres shall be measured in accordance with the procedures given in annex 6 to this Regulation. 7. 1. 4. Section width specifications: 7. 1. 4. 1. The actual overall width may be less than the section width or widths determined in paragraph 7. 1. C 212 E/90 DE Amtsblatt der Europ(cid:228)ischen Gemeinschaften 25. 7. 2000 7. 1. 4. 2. The actual overall width may also exceed the value or values determined in paragraph 7. 1 by: 4 per cent in the case of radial ply tyres and 8 per cent in the case of diagonal (bias-ply) and bias belted tyres. However, for tyres with a section width exceeding 305 mm, intended for fitting in dual (twin) formation, the nominal value or values shall not be exceeded by more than: 2 per cent in the case of radial ply tyres and 4 per cent for diagonal (bias-ply) and bias belted tyres. 7. 1. 5. Outer diameter specifications: 7. 1. 5. 1. The actual outer diameter of a retreaded tyre must not be outside the values of Dmin and Dmax obtained by the following formulae: Dmin (cid:136) d (cid:135) (cid:133)2H (cid:2) a(cid:134) Dmax (cid:136) 1; 015 (cid:2) (cid:137)d (cid:135) (cid:133)2H (cid:2) b(cid:134)(cid:138) where: 7. 1. 5. 1. 1.

ANNEX 6 METHOD OF MEASURING PNEUMATIC TYRES 1. The tyre shall be mounted on the test rim specified by the retreader and inflated to the Nominal Inflation Pressure quoted in the nominated International Tyre Standard (see paragraph 4. 1. 4. 7 of this Regulation) in relation to the Maximum load carrying capacity fot that Size and Load index. 2. The tyre, fitted to the appropriate rim, shall be conditioned to the ambient temperature of the laboratory for at least 24 hr save as otherwise required by paragraph 6. 6. 3 of this Regulation. 3. The pressure shall be re-adjusted to the value in paragraph 1 of this annex. 4. The overall width shall be measured at six equally spaced points around the tyre, taking account of the thickness of any protective ribs or bands. The highest reading obtained shall be taken as the overall width. 5. The outer diameter shall be calculated from a measurement of the maximum circumference of the inflated tyre. 25. 7. 2000 DE Amtsblatt der Europ(cid:228)ischen Gemeinschaften C 212 E/97 ANNEX 7 PROCEDURE FOR LOAD/SPEED ENDURANCE TESTS (in principle in accordance with Regulation No 54) 1.
