0 Introduction
The Rules is prepared based on safety risks and certification risks of tyres for motor vehicles and specifies the basic principles and requirements for implementing compulsory product certification on tyres for motor vehicles.
The Rules shall be used together with the general implementation rules issued by the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the Republic of China (CNCA), e.g., Rules for the Implementation of Compulsory Product Certification - Manufacturing Enterprise Classification Management, Certification Mode Selection and Determination, Rules for the Implementation of Compulsory Product Certification - Utilization of Testing Resources and Other Certification Results of Manufacturing Enterprises and Rules for the Implementation of Compulsory Product Certification - General Requirements for Factory Inspection.
The certification authority shall formulate the detailed rules for the implementation of certification in accordance with the requirements of general implementation rules and the Rules, and shall implement these detailed rules together with the general implementation rules and the Rules.
The certification client shall be able to assume the relevant quality and legal liabilities such as recall and three guarantees.
Manufacturing enterprises or importers shall ensure that the certified products they manufacture or import continuously meet the requirements of certification and applicable standards.
The compulsory product certification activities implemented in ODM mode shall also meet the relevant requirements of the Rules for the Implementation of Compulsory Product Certification - Supplementary Provisions in case of ODM Mode Involved.
1 Application Scope
The Rules is applicable to the new pneumatic tyres for motor vehicles, including passenger car tyre, truck tyre, and motorcycle tyre and originally aims to the tyres for motor vehicles of M, N, O, and L categories (see GB/T 15089 for definitions of vehicle category).
The Rules is not applicable to retreaded tyres and those designed specifically for competition.
The adjustment of application scope caused by the changes of laws, regulations, relevant product standards, technologies, industrial policies and other factors shall be subject to the announcement issued by CNCA.
2 Terms and Definitions
For the purpose of the Rules, the terms and definitions in laws and regulations related to compulsory product certification apply.
3 Certification Basis
3.1 Certification Standards
The mandatory provisions in GB 9743 Passenger Car Tyres, GB 9744 Truck Tyres and GB 518 Motorcycle Tyres.
In principle, the latest edition of certification standards issued by the administrative department of national standardization shall apply. New applicable standards added or other editions of the standard, if required, shall be subject to the CNCA's announcement on applicability to the requirements of relevant standards.
3.2 Requirements in case of Certification Standard Changes
The certification authority is responsible for keeping track of the formulation, revision and other changes of the standards used as the compulsory product certification basis, and specifying the conversion periods and certification implementation schemes at discretion corresponding to such changes in accordance with the relevant regulations, and publicizing them to the public.
Certification authority shall provide accurate information on change conditions of standards in detail to certification client.
The certification client shall take the initiative in obtaining the update information of relevant standards and implementation requirements of certification test standards via website, etc.
4 Certification Mode
The basic certification modes specified in the Rules are determined under the premise of the integrity and self-discipline, effective management and stable production of manufacturing enterprises and on the basis of the inherent risks and characteristics of the tyres for motor vehicles and the manufacturing technique commonly adopted by enterprises.
Basic certification mode for compulsory certification of tyres for motor vehicles is as follows:
Type test + initial factory inspection (inspection on enterprise quality assurance capacity and product conformity) + post-certification supervision;
As for the tyres products for motor vehicles, the inspection on enterprise quality assurance capacity and product conformity is carried out in the review mode of production conformity;
The above-mentioned post-certification supervision refers to one among or various combinations of the three kinds of modes: post-certification follow-up inspection, sampling testing or inspection on production site, and market sampling testing or inspection or various compositions.
5 Certification Unit Division
In principle, the products produced by the same producer (manufacturer) in the same manufacturing enterprise (site) and of the same category (Note 1), with the same structure (Note 2) and to the same series (Note 3) shall be regarded as a certification unit:
In principle, the certification client shall propose certification entrustment according to unit division principle.
See the Compulsory Certification Unit Division of the Tyres Products for Motor Vehicles (Annex 1) for the certification unit division in principle.
Note 1: Category: passenger car tyre, truck tyre and motorcycle tyre.
Note 2: Structure: radial tyre, bias tyre and bias-belted tyre.
Note 3: Series: refer to the product series specified in the standards GB/T 2978 Size Designation, Dimensions, Inflation Pressure and Load Capacity for Passenger Car Tyres, GB/T 2977 Size Designation, Dimensions, Inflation Pressure and Load Capacity for Truck Tyres and GB/T 2983 Series of Motorcycle Tyres.
6 Certification Entrustment
6.1 Proposal and Acceptance of Certification Entrustment
The certification client shall be able to assume the relevant quality and legal liabilities such as recall and three guarantees. The certification client shall propose certification entrustment to the certification authority in a proper manner; the certification authority shall deal with the certification entrustment and feed back the acceptance or unacceptance information according to the time limit requirements in detailed rules for the implementation of certification.
The certification client shall be able to assume the relevant quality and legal liabilities, such as recall and three guarantees.
The certification authority shall not accept relevant certification entrustment not meeting the national laws and regulations and the relevant industrial policies.
6.2 Application Data
The certification authority shall define the application data list in the detailed rules for the implementation of certification according to the relevant laws, regulations and standards and the demand of certification implementation, including certification application form or contract, registration certificate of certification client/producer/manufacturing enterprise, Technical Parameter Table of the Tyres Products for Motor Vehicles (Annex 2) and Production Conformity Control Document (prepared according to Annex 3) at minimum.
The certification client shall provide the required data according to requirements of application data list in detailed rules for the implementation of certification. The certification authority is in charge of the review, management, preservation and confidentiality of relevant data, and shall inform the certification client of the result of data review.
6.3 Implementation Arrangement
The certification authority shall come to an agreement with the certification client upon relevant responsibilities and arrangement in each link of certification implementation, and shall determine the specific certification implementation scheme based on the actual situation and classified management condition of manufacturing enterprise and according to the requirements of the Rules and the detailed rules for the implementation of certification, and shall also inform the certification client of this scheme.
