TIRE STANDARDS FOR TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES AND LIGHT COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

Introduction
The Libyan National Standards and Metrology Center has developed specific standards for tires used in transportation vehicles and light commercial vehicles. These standards are designed to ensure compliance with international market requirements and enhance safety. HRN Inspection plays a crucial role in the quality control and certification process for tire products exported from Turkey to Libya. Below are the details of the analyzed products:

Analyzed Tire Types

• New Rubber Outer Tires
  • Car Tires: Radial and conventional types for tourism, racing, and other cars.
  • Bus and Truck Tires: Radial and diagonal structures according to load index.
  • Motorcycle and Bicycle Tires: Special designs for small vehicles.
• Retreaded and Used Tires
  • Car, Bus, Truck, and Aircraft Tires: Retreaded tires.
  • Filling Tires and Wheel Bands: Designed for industrial machines.
• Inner Tubes
  • Car and Truck Tires: Manufactured for air resistance and leak-proof qualities.
  • Bicycle and Motorcycle Tires: Optimized structure for light vehicles.

Technical Standards and Requirements

• Size and Mounting Features:

  • Nominal Width: Should be specified in millimeters.
  • Rim Diameter: The design tire diameter should be expressed with appropriate mounting codes.
  • Speed and Load Capacity: Tire speed ratings and load capacity must be indicated.

• Physical and Mechanical Tests:

  • Load and Speed Tests: Safety carrying capacity is measured at maximum speed in accordance with ISO standards.
  • Wear and Durability: Tests are conducted to ensure long-term usage of the tires.

• Service Features:

  • Tube-less construction and rotation direction: Special markings are mandatory.
  • Special tread patterns and color coding: Must comply with standards.

HRN Inspection’s Role

HRN Inspection audits compliance with the criteria established by the Libyan National Standards and Metrology Center. In this process:

• The physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of the tires are tested.
• Compliance with standards is ensured, providing exporters with assurance.
• A compliance certificate is issued to confirm suitability for the Libyan market.

Conclusion

For companies exporting tires to Libya, manufacturing in compliance with standards and adhering to proper inspection processes are crucial. HRN Inspection ensures quality control of products and contributes to the sustainability of international trade. Tires that meet the standards increase market value due to their safety and environmental-friendly features.
