EU Tire Label

According to the regulation EU/2020/740 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 2020 on the labeling of tires with respect to fuel efficiency and other parameters all manufacturers of tires for cars, light and heavy trucks are obliged to present to the customer QR code with a link to EPREL database, fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise classification of every tire sold in European Union market in a form of Tire Label specified by this regulation. This obligation comes into force on May 1, 2021 and it supersedes European Tire Labeling Regulation EC/1222/2009 which has been in force since October 2012.

This project (EU-tire-label) aims to simplify label generation and distribution in the web-based services (manufacturer website, E-commerce, etc.). It supports both mentioned earlier specifications: EU/2020/740 and EC/1222/2009.
