EU Energy Labels for Tyres

Regulation (EU) 2020/740 on the labelling of tyres replaced the earlier Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009. It requires that tyres placed on the EU market carry a label showing fuel efficiency class, wet grip class, and external rolling noise class, each on an A to E scale.

Tyre suppliers must register their products in the EPREL database (European Product Registry for Energy Labelling) before placing them on the EU market. The EPREL registration is required under the framework of Regulation (EU) 2017/1369.

For online sales, the tyre label must be displayed near the product price. Customers must be able to see the energy efficiency, wet grip, and noise data before making a purchase decision.

This regulation applies to C1 (passenger car), C2 (light truck), and C3 (heavy-duty truck) tyres placed on the EU market. It applies to all sales channels, including online shops.

If you sell tyres to EU customers through your online store, you must display the EU tyre label regardless of where your business is located. Retreaded tyres, off-road professional tyres, and racing tyres are excluded.

Online retailers must make two documents accessible to customers near the product price: the energy label and the product information sheet (fiche). Both are provided by the supplier via the EPREL database — retailers do not need to create or assemble this data themselves.

The energy label for tyres includes the following information:

EPREL Label Buddy retrieves tyre energy data directly from the official EPREL database. Enter the product's GTIN or EPREL ID, and the app fetches the fuel efficiency class, wet grip class, noise data, and links to the product information sheet.

For tyre shops with large catalogs, the Standard and Pro plans support bulk import of EPREL IDs via CSV. This allows you to link hundreds of tyre models at once instead of entering each one individually.

The app displays the energy arrow icon on your product pages and provides customers with access to the product information sheet in their browser language, drawing from the EPREL database's multilingual resources.
