Recital 6
(6) In particular the Commission should be empowered to establish the specific procedures, tests and requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, components and separate technical units. In addition, the Commission should be empowered to define more precisely the physical characteristics and performance requirements tyres must fulfil to be defined as “Off-road professional tyre”, “special tyre” or “special use tyre”, “snow tyre” or “mud and snow tyre”, “reinforced tyre” and “extra load tyre”. The Commission should also be empowered to define the precise scope of application of the requirements set out in this Regulation. In addition, the Commission should be empowered to set out additional safety requirements for vehicles intended for the transport of dangerous goods by road within or between Member States. Furthermore, subject to technical and economic feasibility, the Commission should be empowered to extend mandatory installation of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems and other advanced safety features to other categories of vehicles than those initially covered. The Commission should also be empowered to establish specific procedures, tests and technical requirements for the type-approval of advanced vehicle systems other than those mentioned in this Regulation and to amend the limit values on rolling resistance and rolling noise for tyres as a result of changes in the test procedures without lowering the existing ambition level with regard to the environment. Since those measures are of a general scope and are designed to amend this Regulation by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.

Article 1
Article 1
This Regulation establishes requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles, their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor, with regard to their safety. The type-approval requirements with regard to installation of Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems refer to safety, fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions. This Regulation also establishes requirements for the type-approval of tyres, with regard to their fuel efficiency, CO2 and noise emissions.

Article 9 – paragraph 2
Article 9 – paragraph 2
2. Vehicles in categories M1 shall be equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, capable of warning the driver when any tyre is operating at a dangerously low pressure level, and advising the driver when any tyre is operating at a pressure level significantly below the optimum pressure for good fuel consumption, with a minimum degree of accuracy defined as follows: To enhance safety, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System shall be able to detect and warn the driver within five minutes when the actual in-service operating tyre pressure of one or more tyres is under-inflated by 0.5Bar (50kPa) or more, as compared to the in-service operating tyre pressure corresponding to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold tyre inflation pressure. To reduce fuel consumption, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System shall be able to detect and warn the driver within 30 minutes when the actual in-service operating tyre pressure of one or more tyres is under-inflated by 0.3Bar (30kPa) or more, as compared to the in-service operating tyre pressure corresponding to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold tyre inflation pressure.

1. The measures designed to amend non- essential elements of this Regulation, by supplementing it, relating to the specific procedures, tests and requirements for type-approval relating to the provisions of Articles 5 to 10 and of Annex I shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 40(2) of Directive 2007/46/EC. These measures shall include a more precise definition of the physical characteristics and performance requirements that tyres must fulfil to be defined as “Off road professional tyre.”, “special tyre” or “special use tyre”, “snow tyre” or “mud and snow tyre”, “reinforced tyre” and “extra load tyre”.
