Commission Regulation (EU) No 458/2011

of 12 May 2011

concerning type-approval requirements for motor vehicles and their trailers with regard to the installation of their tyres and implementing Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor1, and in particular Article 14(1)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 is a separate Regulation for the purposes of the type-approval procedure provided for by Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (Framework Directive)2.

(2)

Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 repeals Council Directive 92/23/EEC of 31 March 1992 relating to tyres for motor vehicles and their trailers and to their fitting3. The requirements set out in that Directive should be carried over to this Regulation and, where necessary, adapted to the development of scientific and technical knowledge.

(3)

The scope of this Regulation should be in line with that of Directive 92/23/EEC. The Regulation should therefore cover vehicles of categories M, N and O.

(4)

Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 lays down basic requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to the installation of tyres. Therefore, it is necessary to set out the specific procedures, tests and requirements for such type-approval to ensure that the tyres used on a vehicle are appropriate for the load, speed and use characteristics of that vehicle.

(5)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Technical Committee — Motor Vehicles,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
