EU Regulation 458/2011 establishes the provisions concerning the approval and installation of tires on vehicles. This regulation is crucial for ensuring that tires installed on vehicles meet specific safety and performance standards, thereby enhancing overall road safety and vehicle efficiency.

The regulation specifies the technical standards for the construction, installation, and performance of tires. These standards ensure that tires are capable of withstanding various driving conditions, including different speeds, loads, and environmental factors. The regulation mandates that tires must be marked with essential information, such as tire size, load capacity, speed rating, and manufacturing details, to ensure proper selection and usage.

Testing procedures are rigorously defined to ensure compliance with the regulation. These tests assess the tire's durability, performance under different conditions, and resistance to wear and tear. Manufacturers must conduct these tests to demonstrate that their tires meet the required standards. The regulation also requires regular inspections and maintenance of tires to ensure their continued performance and safety over the vehicle's lifetime.

The regulation includes provisions for the enforcement of compliance and the penalties for non-compliance. Regulatory authorities have the right to inspect tires and their installation to ensure that they adhere to the specified standards. Non-compliance can result in fines, penalties, and other legal consequences.

The TAT Lab is authorized to perform testing and certification for compliance with EU Regulation 458/2011. This includes conducting all necessary tests to ensure that tires meet the specified standards for safety, performance, and durability. By performing these tests, TAT Lab helps enhance road safety in Iran by ensuring that vehicles are equipped with tires that meet international safety and performance standards.
