In accordance with Regulation 1222/20091 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2009, the obligation to provide end-users with information on the fuel efficiency class, wet grip class and external rolling noise class and measured value of tyres comes into force as of 1 November 2012.

Tyre distributors are required to label tyres clearly and visibly with a label compliant with the directive (Figure 1). This obligation also applies to mail order - e-commerce sites.
