Revised Implementation Rules for Automotive Tires

9. January 2025

To enhance the regulation of mandatory product certification for automotive tires, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation has revised the relevant implementation rules. The updated regulation, titled Mandatory Product Certification Implementation Rules for Automotive Tires (CNCA-C12-01:2024), will take effect on January 1, 2025, replacing the previous version (CNCA-C12-01:2015). Automotive tires usually require CCC certification to be approved for import and sale in China.

Certification bodies designated for this purpose must develop detailed implementation guidelines in line with the revised rules and general requirements for mandatory product certification. These guidelines must be filed with the State Administration for Market Regulation before certifications and certificates are issued under the new framework. From January 1, 2025, certification applications will be processed exclusively under the updated rules. Existing valid certificates will remain usable and will transition naturally through processes like renewal, product modifications, or standard updates.

For further information please also refer to our previous news regarding Standards GB9743-2024 and GB9744-2024 (passenger tires and truck tires), which were revised with main focus put on inclusion of rolling resistance and wet grip, as well as the clarification of tire definitions and size standards and the consistency of rolling resistance test data.
