New INMETRO Ordinance for tyres in Brazil
A new INMETRO Ordinance has been published amending the existing Brazilian regulations on tyre certification
The Brazilian National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality (INMETRO) has recently released the Ordinance 329 of 21 October 2020 which amends the existing Ordinance 165 of 30 May – Technical Regulation of New Tires Quality for Passenger Cars.
The new Ordinance introduces additional marking requirements. Tyres having the characteristics of Self Supporting Tyres (SST) and of Extended Mobility Tyres (EMT) according to standard ISO 6992:2018 will have to be marked with two pictograms specified in the Ordinance.
For new tyres, the requirements will enter into force in 18 months, whereas tyres which have already been certified will have a grace period of 60 months.
