                 The above approval mark affixed to a pneumatic tyre shows that the type of tyre
          concerned has been approved in the Netherlands (E 4) pursuant to Regulation No. 106
          under approval number 002439. The first two digits of the approval number indicate that
          the approval was granted in accordance with the requirements of Regulation No. 106 in its
          original form.
          Note: The approval number must be placed close to the circle and either above or below
          the "E" or to the left or right of that letter. The digits of the approval number must be on
          the same side of the "E" and face in the same direction. The use of Roman numerals as
          approval numbers should be avoided so as to prevent any confusion with other symbols.

            Notes:
            1. These Tyres may be classified in categories of use "Tractor Drive Wheels" or "Implement".
            2. Implement Tyres are identified either by suffix "IMP" placed after the Tyre size designation (e.g. 11x4.00 -
               4 IMP)or by the word "IMPLEMENT" marked on the Tyre sidewalls.
            3. Tyres of radial structure are identified by means of the letter "R" in place of " - " (e.g. 11x4.00 R 4).
            4. Coefficient "b" for the calculation of the Overall diameter Dmax:
               (a) 1.12 for tyres with Nominal rim Diameter (d) less than 380 mm;
               (b) 1.10 for tyres with Nominal rim Diameter (d) 381 mm and above.

3.5.           The tyre pressure must not be corrected throughout the test and the test load
               must be kept constant throughout each of the three test steps.
3.6.           During the test the temperature in the test room must be maintained at
               between 20 C and 30 C or at another temperature if the manufacturer so
               agrees.
3.7.           The load/speed test programme must be carried out without interruption.

4.1.           Mount two new tyres of the same type on a trailer
4.2.           Apply on the trailer a mass in order that each tyre be equally loaded with a
               test load corresponding to the load carrying capacity allowed for that tyre
               type at 15 km/h (see load variations in Annex 7).
4.3.           Run the trailer at a constant speed of 15 km/h ± 1 km/h for 48 hours.
                                                                                                              51

            4.3.1.      Temporary interruptions are allowed, but they must be compensated by an
                        additional run-in of 5 min for every 20 minutes of interruption.
            4.4.        The tyre pressure must not be corrected and the test load must be kept
                        constant throughout the test.
            4.5.        During the test the ambient temperature shall be between 5 C and 30 C or
                        at another temperature if the manufacturer so agrees.
            5.          Equivalent test methods
                        If a method other than those described above is used, its equivalence must be
                        demonstrated.

                         industrial or construction applications (e.g. loaders, excavators, etc.) or some
                         agricultural vehicles (e.g. telehandlers).
            2.46.        NHS (not for highway service) means a tyre primarily designed for use
                         outside of public roads, but suitable for temporary/incidental use on public
                         roads.
            2.47.        SS differentiates tyres for off-highway vehicles such as mini and skid-steer
                         loaders from other tyres which use similar size designations, but may use
                         different rim bead seat configurations.

              conformity with the requirements of paragraph 2.18.
6.2.2.        However, for the types of tyres for which the size designation is given in the
              first column of the tables of Annex 5 the outer diameter D and the nominal
              rim diameter (d) expressed in mm are given opposite the tyre size designation
              in those tables.
6.3.          Tyre section width: specification of tolerances
6.3.1.        The overall width of a tyre may be less than the section width determined
              pursuant to paragraph 6.1., or shown in Annex 5;
6.3.2.        The overall width of a tyre may not exceed the section width determined
              pursuant to paragraph 6.1. by more than the following:
                      Radial construction: +5 per cent
                      Diagonal (bias) construction: +8 per cent
                      Calculated value to be rounded to the nearest mm;
6.3.3.        However, for the types of tyre for which the size designation is given in the
              first column of the tables in Annex 5, the allowed percentages are those given
              in the relevant tables, if any.
6.4.          Tyre outer diameter: specification of tolerances
6.4.1.        The outer diameter of a tyre must not be outside the values D min and D max
              obtained from the following formulae:
                      D min = d + 2 • Hmin
                      D max = d + 2 • Hmax
              Where
              Hmin = H • a , rounded to the nearest mm
              Hmax = H • b , rounded to the nearest mm
              "H" and "d" are as defined in paragraph 6.2.1.
              Coefficients "a" and "b" are specified in paragraph 6.4.2.
6.4.1.1.      For sizes listed in Annex 5: H = 0,5 (D - d)
              (for references see paragraph 6.2. above).
6.4.2.        Coefficients "a" and "b" are respectively:
a b a b
            6.4.3.       However, for the types of tyre for which the size designation is given in the
                         first column of the tables in Annex 5, the allowed percentages are those given
                         in the relevant tables, if any.
            6.5.         Test procedures
            6.5.1.       The actual dimensions of tyres are measured as prescribed in Annex 6.
            6.5.2.       The test procedure to assess the resistance of the tyre to burst is described in
                         Annex 8.
            6.5.2.1.     A tyre which, after undergoing the relevant test to assess the resistance to
                         burst, does not exhibit any tread separation, ply separation, cord separation,
                         broken beads or broken cords is deemed to have passed the test. The tyre
                         tested shall not be used for any other tests.
            6.5.3.       The test procedures to assess the suitability of the tyre for the claimed
                         performances are described in Annex 9.
            6.5.3.1.     A tyre which, after undergoing the relevant load/speed test, does not exhibit
                         any tread separation, ply separation, cord separation or broken cords is
                         deemed to have passed the test. The tyre tested shall not be used for any other
                         tests.
            6.5.3.2.     A tyre which, after undergoing the relevant load/speed test, does exhibit
                         chunking, due to the specific test conditions is deemed to have passed the
                         test.
            6.5.4.       Where a tyre manufacturer produces a range of tyres it is not considered
                         necessary to carry out tests on every type of tyre in the range.

                   The above approval mark affixed to a tyre shows that the type of tyre concerned has
            been approved in the Netherlands (E 4) pursuant to UN Regulation No. 106 under approval
            number 002439. The first two digits of the approval number indicate that the approval was
            granted in accordance with the requirements of UN Regulation No. 106 in its original form.
            Note: The approval number must be placed close to the circle and either above or below
            the "E" or to the left or right of that letter. The digits of the approval number must be on the
            same side of the "E" and face in the same direction. The use of Roman numerals as
            approval numbers should be avoided so as to prevent any confusion with other symbols.

            Notes:
            1. Agricultural steering wheels tyres are identified either by suffix "Front"
               placed after the Tyre size designation (e.g. 4.00 - 9 Front) or by one of the
               following additional markings added to the Tyre sidewalls: "F-1", "F-2" or
               "F-3".
            2. Tyres of radial structure are identified by means of the letter "R" in place of " - "
               (e.g. 4.00R9).
            3. Overall diameters (D) in column (*) apply to tyres for industrial service (construction
               applications) marked with classification code "F-3" – see paragraph 3.1.8 of this
               Regulation. These tyres may be marked with the suffix "IND" instead of "Front".
            4. For diagonal tyres marked on the tyre sidewall with classification code "F-1" (see
               paragraph 3.1.8. of this regulation), the overall diameter (D) is to be increased by 12 mm.

             Notes:
             1. Log-Skidder Tyres are identified by suffix "LS-1", "LS-2", "LS-3", or "LS-4" placed after the size designation (e.g.
                30.5L-32 LS-2).
             2. Tyres of radial structure are identified by means of the letter "R" in place of "-" (e.g. 30.5LR32 LS).
             3. The Tyre size designation may be supplemented by a rim contour prefix (e.g.: DH35.5L-32 LS instead of
                35.5L-32 LS).

4.1.           Mount two new tyres of the same type on a trailer
4.2.           Apply on the trailer a mass in order that each tyre be equally loaded with a
               test load corresponding to the load carrying capacity allowed for that tyre
               type at 15 km/h (see load variations in Annex 7).
4.3.           Run the trailer at a constant speed of 15 km/h ± 1 km/h for 48 hours.
4.3.1.         Temporary interruptions are allowed, but they must be compensated by an
               additional run-in of 5 min for every 20 minutes of interruption.
                                                                                                              57

                         constant throughout the test.
            4.5.         During the test the ambient temperature shall be between 5 C and 30 C or
                         at another temperature if the manufacturer so agrees.
            5.           Equivalent test methods
                         If a method other than those described above is used, its equivalence must be
                         demonstrated.
