European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers Association (ETRMA) has specified on the tire of REACH PAHs (polycyclicaromatichydrocarbons, PAHs) Limited expressed concern about enforcement measures. ETRMA previously published EU-wide tires on the second round of the test report showed that current levels of PAHs compared with the restrictions and has not improved. It is reported that in the first round of the survey results published earlier this year. In both surveys, were found in 10% of the test tire does not comply with the REACH regulations PAH limit. Therefore, ETRMA calls on the EU strictly limited enforcement of PAHs. ETRMA European Chemicals Agency had had to submit a report on the results of implementation of the Forum, but the national law enforcement authorities did not take much actual regulatory action. Germany is currently the world's only tire in the PAH specific restrictive measures taken in Germany had the tire testing, and ask the distributor to recall the two do not meet the requirements of the tire. ETRMA General FaziletCinaralp also pointed out that many EU member states also did not use non-food rapid alert system for notification (RAPEX) system on the market informed on the tire situation, RAPEX European tire market should be regulated to ensure the implementation of REACH restrictions meet the requirements of a tire important way.

    April 2011 to September, in the samples collected during the second round of the tire, ETRMA spent 26 million euros, will focus on different types of tires. The final sample for the EU market from 11 countries, 50 plants of 94 kinds of tires, a total of 51 brands, including 31 kinds of tires is not in the list of the first round of testing, but the survey found that in mid-May 2011 with the same results , qualified the situation has improved. More brands failed several tests in the first round have been determined to be ineligible. In addition, a Chinese factory, four of five kinds of tires under the brand, including car and truck tires, after tests found that PAH concentrations are over the limit. ETRMA said the ultimate goal of this survey is to appeal to consumers and the market surveillance authorities to take appropriate action to prevent non-compliant tire imports. In addition, FaziletClinaralp that the current regulatory measures are too lax, that the implementation of EU legislation unfavorable. For example, on tire fuel efficiency labels, and other important parameters of a lack of strict supervision. Therefore, from November 2012 onwards, the new EU labeling directive 2009/1222/EC came into effect, which will require manufacturers of fuel efficiency, wet road adhesion and noise in areas such as strict control.
