China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is expected to release an upgraded version of the access rules for the tire industry in around August, according to a source with the China Rubber Industry Association.
The source disclosed that specific standards for “green” tires would be added to the existing rules, and the industry would have to meet stricter requirements on energy consumption and emission control and would have to formulate comprehensive schemes on recalling defective products.
A list of eligible enterprises that meet the new standards will be publicized along with the forthcoming access rules.
