BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS
MANAK BHAVAN, 9 BAHADUR SHAH ZAFAR MARG
NEW DELHI 110002
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Automotive Tyres, Tubes and Rims Sectional Committee had been approved by the Transport Engineering
Division Council.
This standard was first published in 2005. This revision has been undertaken to include the latest sizes of tyres
which have been introduced after the publication of the standard.
In the formulation of this standard, considerable assistance has been derived from the following International
Standards:
ECE R 54 Uniform provisions concerning the approval of pneumatic tyres for commercial vehicles
and their trailers
ISO 10454 : 1993 Truck and bus tyres Verifying tyre capabilities Laboratory test methods
FMVSS 571.119 New pneumatic tyres for vehicles other than passenger cars
In this standard SI units have been used.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex H.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places in the rounded off value
should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
