Tire convergence with international standards need to

China's tire standards lagged, adapting domestic tire companies to quickly develop new products to the needs; the existing standards, to amend a long time, generally more than 2 years, it is difficult to meet the production, trade and certification and related industries. In order to solve the problem of lagging behind national standards, the tire industry in China two years ago from a common practice in developed countries, to set up a "Chinese tire rim valve standard Yearbook" (hereinafter referred to as the "Almanac") Council, the preparation of the publication of "Yearbook", as the industry Standard of national standards in the market, not the new tire specifications to add variety, but so far the country has not yet been approved, it can not be used as business sales, based on the certification of the tire. This contradiction to the tire business in the new product development, marketing and 3C certification brings a lot of trouble.

Too old by current standards, the production scale-free can

It is understood that the current standard tires in 1997 was made public, including mandatory standards and recommended standards. Mandatory standards are "GB9743-1997 car tires" and "GB9744-1997 truck tires," including tire performance requirements, signs, packaging, testing, and other rules; recommended standards are "GB/T2978-1997 series of car tires" And "GB/T2977-1997 truck tire family," including the specifications, size, air pressure load, and so on.

Although these standards are published in 1997, but the standard-setting work began in 1994, 1996 and reported to the relevant state departments. As a result, the current standard-setting time of the lapse of 10 years, much has been unable to meet the needs of the development of tire industry. According to statistics, currently on the market truck tire specifications about 60%, about 35% of car tires is not the current standard.

Jiangsu Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. General Manager Zhang Maoxin reflect, at the time the slow development of the automobile industry, import less, so the national standard is applicable at the time. But after so many years, the rapid development of the auto industry, tire of the increasingly high demand for the existing standard has been far behind the pace of the times. In order to meet the business needs of the market, often to develop new products, and these new products in the existing standards and can not find greatly restricted the development of new products enterprises. At present, the business development of new products are developed in the light of other standards or "Yearbook."

There is no national standard of new products on the market repeatedly Koufa

Tire business in the strongest response is that behind the national standard, the businesses most directly to the loss of the development of the national standard of no new products in the market for Commerce, Industry and the quality inspection departments have been repeatedly closed down and punished.

As the 3C certification is a mandatory national standard certification requirements of technical performance, taking into account the recommendation of the national standard specifications, so there is no national standard products can not be present for 3C certification. However, the needs of the market, auto industry development needs of a growing number of new product specifications, and some need to export some of the specifications are domestic sales, and these products can not be carried out 3C certification. As a result, when these products hit industry and commerce, quality inspection and testing sector, it is usually fine for the failure of products being seized and punished. Companies often need to specify the country of the sector to open 3C certification to prove that their products are qualified. However, this proved that not all local quality inspection departments and industrial and commercial recognition. Reflect the enterprise, the more backward regions face more penalties, more and more new products corporate tire Koufa suffered more.

"Yearbook" to increase the timeliness standards, but have no legal status

According to the tires of the National Standardization Technical Committee Rim to the Secretary-General Wang Ke, based on the experience of foreign countries, lagging behind the national standard to solve the problem, the best approach is to use industry standards organization established by the Yearbook. "Yearbook" to amend a year, faster time-to meet the business needs, but also work with standard international practice. At present, developed countries are allowed to trade organizations to develop their own technical standards recommended for government departments and recommended that the Government departments to develop technology to enforce laws and regulations. The United States as early as 1903, Japan in 1982, Europe in 1956 began publishing rim tire valve Yearbook standards, and our country than the United States a full 100 years later.

Wang said first, despite China's "Year Book," published later, but in a timely manner because of its fast, still the majority of tire companies have been approved. "Almanac" has just been released, almost all enterprises have to buy tires, and even many business enterprises and product specification standards are cited, "Yearbook." At the same time, "Yearbook" of the production process to review the procedures, techniques and procedures and so on all national quality standards to ensure that the National Institute of Standards and coordinated industry standards. As a result, "Yearbook" is actually added to national standards, its preparation and publication of the norms of the tire rim of the valve market order to ensure interchangeability of the products has played a positive role. "Almanac" has been recognized abroad, and industry organizations in many countries hope that China will be published in English.

However, due to the current standards, whether mandatory or recommended by the standards of national standardization administrative department in charge of centralized management, the country has not yet been clearly defined to allow organizations to set their own standards, "Yearbook" also failed to regularize their status, could not lawfully As a complement national standards and certification is based on.

National Standardization Committee, said the leadership for the rapid development of the tire industry, "Yearbook" published in resolving the conflicts behind the standard of positive significance, but "Yearbook" to get the national recognition, but also the needs of countries and sectors to work together.
