         4.1.  The application for approval of a type of pneumatic tyre shall be submitted by the holder of the trade name or mark or by his duly accredited representative.  It shall specify:

         4.1.2.  The trade name or mark;

         4.1.3.  The category of use (ordinary (road-type) or snow-tyre, or for temporary use);

         4.1.4.  Structure: diagonal (bias ply), bias belted, radial, run flat tyre;

         4.1.5.  The speed category;

         4.1.6.  The load-capacity index of the tyre;

         4.1.7.  Whether the tyre is to be used with or without an inner tube;

         4.1.8.  Whether the tyre is "standard" or "reinforced" or "T-type temporary use spare tyre";

         4.1.9.  The ply-rating number of diagonal (bias-ply) tyres;

         4.1.10.  The overall dimensions:  overall section width and outer diameter;

         4.1.11.  The rims on which the tyre can be mounted;

4.1.12.  The measuring rim and test rim;

         4.1.13.  The test pressure where the manufacturer requests the application of Annex 7, paragraph 1.3. to this Regulation;

         4.1.14.  The factor x referred to in paragraph 2.20. above.

         4.1.15.  For tyres suitable for speeds in excess of 300 km/h, the maximum speed permitted by the tyre manufacturer and the load carrying capacity allowed for that maximum speed.  The tyre manufacturer must also specify these values in the technical literature for the tyre type.

         4.1.16.  The identification of the bead retention rim contours specific for the "flat tyre running mode" of "run flat tyres".

         4.2.  The application for approval shall be accompanied (all in triplicate) by a sketch, or a representative photograph, which identify the tyre tread pattern and a sketch of the envelope of the inflated tyre mounted on the measuring rim, showing the relevant dimensions (see paragraphs 6.1.1. and 6.1.2.) of the type submitted for approval.  It shall also be accompanied either by the test report issued by the approved Test Laboratory or by one or two samples of the tyre type, at the discretion of the Competent Authority.  Drawings or photographs of the side wall and tread of the tyre shall be submitted once production has been established, no later than one year after the date of issue of the type approval.

         4.3.  The Competent Authority shall verify the existence of satisfactory arrangements for ensuring effective control of the conformity of production before type approval is granted.

         4.4.  Where a tyre manufacturer submits application for type approval for a range of tyres, it is not considered necessary to carry out a load/speed test on every type
