ANNEX  V 
 
LABORATORY ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF 
ROLLING RESISTANCE  
 
1.   Definitions  
For the purposes of the laboratory  alignment procedure for the measurement of rolling 
resistance, the following definitions apply : 
1) ‘reference laboratory’ means a laboratory that is part of the network of laboratories, the 
names of which have been published in the Official Journal of the  European Union for the 
purpose of the laboratory alignment procedure, and that is able to achieve the accuracy of test 
results determined in Section 3 with its reference machine . 
2) ‘candidate laboratory’ means a laboratory participating in the laboratory  alignment procedure 
that is not a reference laboratory . 
3) ‘alignment tyre’ means a tyre that is tested for the purpose of performing the laboratory 
alignment procedure . 
4) ‘alignment tyre set’ means a set of five or more alignment tyres for the alignment  of one 
single machine . 
5) ‘assigned value’ means a theoretical value of the rolling resistance coefficient (RRC) of one 
alignment tyre as measured by a theoretical laboratory which is representative of the network 
of reference laboratories that is used fo r the laboratory alignment procedure . 
6) ‘machine’ means every tyre testing spindle in one specific measurement method; for 
example, two spindles acting on the same drum shall not be considered as one machine . 
 
2. General provisions  
 
2.1. Principle  
 
The measured (m) rolling resistance coefficient obtained in a reference laboratory (l), (RRC m,l 
), shall be aligned to the assigned values of the network of reference laboratories . The measured 
(m) rolling resistance coefficient obtained by a machine in a cand idate laboratory (c), (RRC m,c 
), shall be aligned through one reference laboratory of the network of its choice . 
 
 
 
2.2. Tyre selection requirements   
 
Alignment tyre sets shall be selected for the laboratory alignment procedure in accordance with 
the follo wing criteria. One alignment tyre set shall be selected for C1 tyres and C2 tyres 
together, and one set for C3 tyres : 
 
a) the alignment tyre set shall be selected so as to cover the range of different RRCs of C1 tyres 
and C2 tyres together, or of C3 tyres;  in any event, the difference between the highest RRC m of 
the alignment tyre set, and the lowest RRC m of the alignment tyre set shall be, before and after 
alignment, at least equal to : 
 
(i)  3 N/kN for C1 tyres and C2 tyres; and  
(ii) 2 N/kN for C3 tyres;  
 18 b) the RRC m in the candidate or reference laboratories (RRC m,c or RRC m,l ) based on declared 
RRC values of each alignment tyre of the alignment tyre set shall be distributed evenly . 
 
c) load index values shall adequately cover the range of the tyres to be tested, ensuring that the 
rolling resistance values also cover the range of the tyres to be tested . Each alignment tyre shall 
be checked prior to use and shall be replaced when : 
 
(i) the alignment tyre shows a condition which makes it unusable for further tests; or   
(ii) there are deviations of RRCm,c or RRCm,l greater than 1,5 % relative to earlier 
measurements after correction for any machine drift . 
 
2.3. Measurement method  
 
The reference laboratory shall measure each alignment tyre four times and retain the three last 
results for further analysis, in accordance with paragraph 4 of Annex 6 to UNECE Regulation 
No 117 and under the conditions set out in paragraph 3 of Annex 6 to UNECE Regulation No 
117.  
 
The candidate laboratory shall measure each alignment  tyre (n + 1) times, with n being specified 
in Section 5 of this Annex and retain the n last results for further analysis, in accordance with 
paragraph 4 of Annex 6 to UNECE Regulation No 117 and applying the conditions set out in 
paragraph 3 of Annex 6 to  UNECE Regulation No 117 .  
 
Each time an alignment tyre is measured, the tyre/wheel assembly shall be removed from the 
machine and the entire test procedure referred to in paragraph 4 of Annex 6 to UNECE 
Regulation No 117 shall be followed again from the start.  
 
The candidate or reference laboratory shall calculate : 
 
a) the measured value of each alignment tyre for each measurement as specified in paragraphs 
6.2 and 6.3 of Annex 6 to UNECE Regulation No 117 (i.e. corrected for a temperature of 25 °C 
and a  drum diameter of 2 m)  
b) the mean value of the three last measured values of each alignment tyre (in the case of 
reference laboratories) or the mean value of the n last measured values of each alignment tyre 
(in the case of candidate laboratories); and  
c) the standard deviation (σ m ) as follows : 
 
 
 
 
 
where : 
i, is the counter from 1 to p for the alignment tyres . 
j, is the counter from 2 to n + 1 for the n last repetitions of each measurement of a given 
alignment tyre . 
n+1, is the number of repetitions of tyre measurements (n + 1 = 4 for reference laboratories and 
n + 1 ≥ 4 for candidate laboratories) . 
19 p, is the number of alignment tyres (p ≥ 5) . 
 
2.4. Data formats to be used for the computations and results  
The measured RRC values corrected from drum diameter and temperature shall be rounded to 
two decimal places : Then the computations shall be made with all digits: there shall be no 
further rounding except on the final alignment equations . All standard deviation values shall be 
displayed to three deci mal places . All RRC values will be displayed to two decimal places . All 
alignment coefficients (A1 l , B1 l , A2 c and B2 c ) shall be rounded and displayed to four 
decimal places . 
 
3. Requirements applicable to the reference laboratories and determination  of the 
assigned values  
 
The assigned values of each alignment tyre shall be determined by a network of reference 
laboratories. Every second year the network shall assess the stability and validity of the assigned 
values . Each reference laboratory participating in the network shall comply with the 
specifications of Annex 6 to UNECE Regulation No 117 and have a standard deviation (σ m ) as 
follows : 
a) not greater than 0,05 N/kN for C1 tyres and C2 tyres; and  
b) not greater than 0,05 N/kN for C3 tyres . 
The alignment tyre sets that have been selected in accordance with Section 2.2 shall be 
measured in accordance with Section 2.3 by each reference laboratory of the network . The 
assigned value of each alignment tyre is the average of the measured values gi ven by the 
reference laboratories of the network for this alignment tyre . 
 
4. Procedure for the alignment of a reference laboratory to the assigned values  
Each reference laboratory (l) shall align itself to each new set of assigned values and always 
after any significant machine change or any drift in machine control tyre monitoring data . The 
alignment shall use a linear regression technique on all individual data. The regression 
coefficients, A1 l and B1  l , shall be calculated as follows : 
RRC = A1 l × RRC m,l + B1 l 
where : 
RRC l, is the assigned value of the rolling resistance coefficient . 
RRC m, l, is the individual measured value of the rolling resistance coefficient by the reference 
laboratory ‘l’ (including temperature and drum diameter corrections) . 
 
5. Requirements applicable to candidate laboratories  
Candidate laboratories shall repeat the alignment procedure at least once every second year for 
every machine and always after any significant machine change or any drift in machine control 
tyre monitoring data. 
A common set of five different tyres that have been selected in accordance with Section 2.2 
shall be measured in accordance with Section 2.3 first by the candidate laboratory and then by 
one reference laboratory. More than five alignment tyres may be  tested at the request of the 
candidate laboratory . 
 
The candidate laboratory shall provide the alignment tyre set to the selected reference 
laboratory . 
 
The candidate laboratory (c) shall comply with the specifications of Annex 6 to UNECE 
Regulation No 11 7 and preferably have standard deviations (σ m ) as follows : 
 20 a) not greater than 0,075 N/kN for C1 tyres and C2 tyres; and  
b) not greater than 0,06 N/kN for C3 tyres . 
 
If the standard deviation (σ m ) of the candidate laboratory is higher than those values after four 
measurements, the last three being used for the computations, then the number n + 1 of 
measurement repetitions shall be increased as follows for the entire batch : 
n+1 = 1+(σ m/γ)2 , rounded up to the nearest higher integer value . 
 
where : 
γ = 0,043 N/kN for C1 tyres and C2 tyres . 
γ = 0,035 N/kN for C3 tyres . 
 
6. Procedure for the alignment of a candidate laboratory  
One reference laboratory (l) of the network shall calculate the linear regression function on all 
individual data of the candidate laboratory (c). The regression coefficients, A2 c and B2 c , shall 
be calculated as follows : 
RRC m,l = A2c × RRC m,c + B2 c 
where : 
RRC m,l, is the individual measured value of the rolling resistance coefficient by the reference 
laboratory (l) (including temperature and drum diameter corrections) . 
RRC m,c, is the individual measured value of the rolling resistance coefficient by t he candidate 
laboratory (c) (including temperature and drum diameter corrections) . 
If the coefficient of determination R2 is lower than 0,97, the candidate laboratory shall not be 
aligned . 
The aligned RRC of tyres tested by the candidate laboratory shall b e calculated as follows : 
RRC = ( A1l × A2c) × RRC m,c + (A1 l × B2 c + B1 l)

value within the verification tolerances referred to in the table below, three additional tyres or 
tyre sets are to be tested; the average measurement value stemming from  the three additional 
tyres or tyre sets tested is to be used to verify the declared information, taking into account the 
verification tolerances referred to in the table below . 
 
3. Where the classes or values on the tyre label are derived from type‐approval test results 
obtained in accordance with  Regulation on type -approval requirements for the general safety 
of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate te chnical units intended 
therefor (661/2009/EU) or UNECE Regulation No 117, Ministry may use measurement data 
obtained from the conformity of production tests on tyres that were carried out under the type‐
approval procedure established by Regulation on the a pproval and market surveillance of motor 
vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for 
such vehicles  published in the Official Gazette No. 31104 dated 19/04/2020 (EU/2018/858) .
