Recently, the European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers Association (hereinafter referred to as “ETRMAâ€) released a second round of inspection reports on tires within the European Union. The report shows that the current levels of PAHs have not improved compared with the restrictions.
It is reported that the results of the first round of survey were published earlier this year. In both surveys, it was found that 10% of the test tires did not meet the REACH regulation PAHs restrictions. Therefore, ETRMA called on the European Union to strictly enforce law enforcement on PAHs limits.
From April to September 2011, ETRMA spent 260,000 euros to collect the second round of tire samples, and will focus on different types of tires. The final sample was 94 tires from 50 plants in 11 countries in the EU market, a total of 51 brands, of which 31 were not in the first round of the test list, but the survey found no difference with the results in mid-May 2011 , Eligibility has not improved. There are several unqualified brands that have been rated as unqualified in the first round of testing. In addition, there is a Chinese factory, five kinds of tires under four brands, including car and truck tires, after testing found that the PAH content exceeds the limit.
ETRMA stated that the ultimate goal of this survey is to appeal to consumers and market watchdogs to take appropriate actions to prevent unsatisfactory tire imports. In addition, FaziletClinaralp said that the current regulatory measures are too lax, which is unfavorable to the implementation of EU regulations. For example, there is a lack of strict supervision on the tire's fuel efficiency label and other important parameters. Therefore, starting in November 2012, the EU's new labeling directive 2009/1222/EC will take effect, which will require manufacturers to exercise strict control over fuel efficiency, wet road adhesion and noise.
ETRMA had previously submitted the results of the report to the European Chemicals Agency's executive forum, but law enforcement authorities in various countries have not taken much practical regulatory action. Currently, only Germany has adopted specific restrictions on PAHs in tires. Germany once tested tires and asked distributors to recall two tires that did not meet the requirements. Etrema Secretary-General FaziletCinaralp also pointed out that many member states did not use the European RAPEX system to report on the tire conditions on the market. RAPEX should be one of the EU tyre industry's implementation of REACH restriction supervision to ensure that tires meet the requirements. The important way.
Extensive reading:
PAHs: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) refer to a class of organic compounds with two or more benzenes. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons containing two or more benzene rings in the molecule, including more than 150 compounds such as naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, and pyrene. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are often found in crude oil, creosote, tar, dyes, plastics, rubber, lubricating oils, anti-rust oils, stripping agents, gasoline anti-coagulants, capacitor electrolytes, mineral oil, asphalt, and other petrochemical products. In addition, it also exists in daily chemical products such as pesticides, charcoal, fungicides, and mosquito coils. Some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) also contain nitrogen, sulfur, and cyclopentane, and frequently occurring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have oncogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are mostly four- to six-ring fused ring compounds. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) (1976) lists 94 compounds that are carcinogenic to experimental animals. Among them, 15 species belong to PAHs. Since benzo (a) pyrene is the first chemical carcinogen to be found and it is very carcinogenic, it is often represented by benzo (a) pyrene as a representative of polycyclic aromatic amines. It accounts for all carcinogenicity. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 1%-20%.
