On July 12, 2012, the China-Japan Tire Round Table Meeting jointly organized by the Department of Raw Materials of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry was held at the Beijing Wanshou Hotel. The meeting elaborated and discussed in depth the four agendas of the development status of the tire industry in China and Japan, future development strategies, industry management policies, development of green tires , and technical regulations and standards.
The meeting was co-chaired by Jiang Jian, Director of the Petrochemicals Division of the Raw Materials Division of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, and Miyamoto Miyamoto, Director of the Chemistry Department of the Japanese Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, National Standards Committee, National Certification and Accreditation Administration, Shandong Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau and other relevant government departments, China Rubber Industry Association, Institute of Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning, and Hangzhou Zhongce, Triangle, Guizhou, South China Rubber, Linglong, Double Twenty-five people such as Qiang Tire Co., Ltd. attended the meeting as Chinese representatives; the Japanese agencies such as the Ministry of Economy and Trade, the Japanese Embassy in China, the Japan Auto Tire Association, and Bridgestone, Sumitomo, Yokohama, Toyo, and Michelin (Japan), etc. A total of 22 tire companies participated in the meeting as representatives of the Japanese side.
The report of the Chinese side of the meeting is: China's tire industry and related information, introduction to China's tire industry policy, China's development of green tires, China's tire CCC certification, standards and import and export regulatory requirements; Japan's report is: Japan's tire industry The scale, sub-category production, tire supply and demand outlook, and import and export status, IRSG (International Rubber Research Organization) activities and topics of Japanese tire companies in China, Japan's low-burning tire marking system, tire standards development and tire testing methods. The two sides conducted in-depth and detailed exchanges and full discussions on the content of each agenda.
In the speech, Fan Yande, the head of the China National Rubber Association, introduced the development of the Chinese tire industry and the related contents of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†for tires. As the EU officially began implementing the tire labeling law on November 1, 2012, Japan will soon implement the tire labeling regulations. Therefore, he also raised the concerns of the Chinese side: What is the specific content of the Japanese labeling law? What are the differences with other European and American technical regulations? How to label China's tires exported to Japan; Japan's development of technical regulations on tires, automobiles and other products; Japan's encouragement policies for green products and production. In addition, Fan Rende also put forward two suggestions: First, to establish a Chinese-Japanese mutual recognition company tire laboratory mechanism, established to provide experimental data mutual recognition of indoor laboratories, outdoor test sites, test equipment calibration procedures and test methods to reduce The trial cost will be used to carry out exchanges between China and Japan. The second is that Sino-Japanese companies will strengthen exchanges in energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection, introduce experiences to each other, and promote the exchange and development of the tire industry in the two countries.
According to Koizumi Akio, executive director of the Japan Auto Car Tyre Association, Japan's decision to promote low-fuel tires began at the 34th major national summit held in Hokkaido in 2008. In 2009, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism set up the Low Fuel Consumption Tire Popularization Promotion Committee (composed of experts, consumer representatives, relevant organizations, and relevant government agencies), summarized the topics and specific measures, and began implementing tire labels in 2010. system. The system establishes a classification system that combines rolling resistance performance and wetland grip performance. Tires that meet certain values ​​are called "low-fuel tires," thereby creating a "label system" that provides consumers with accurate information. However, at present, the tire labeling method in Japan is only applicable to the replacement of tires for passenger cars in the summer, but it is considering the development of a labeling method for load-bearing tires. In addition, the Assistant Director of the Chemistry Department of the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Production said that the government has given its opinions on tire noise, but what kind of policy will eventually be announced is still unknown.
Okuda said that the classification of tires should be globally uniform. Therefore, Japan's tire grading values ​​are the same as those in Europe and America, but they only indicate different methods. Its rolling resistance is divided into AAA/AA/A/B/C5 grades, wetland grip performance is divided into a/b/c/d4 grades, roll resistance is in AAA-A grade, wetland grip is above d grade, and is Determined to be a low-fuel green tire. The tire rolling resistance test method was developed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan in 2009, and the wetland grip performance was tested by the EU.
Okuda said that the implementation of the Japan Labeling Law's supervisory procedures is that companies are responsible for product quality on their own, that is, the tire manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that the products are grading under their own responsibility and risk. The specific approach is that each tire manufacturer submits the grading basic data to the tire fair trade committee. These data will be disclosed to ensure the verification of the company logo. If it finds that the business is fraudulent, it can complain to the Consumer Affairs Department, and the government can ask the company to correct it and impose penalties.
If China's low-fuel tires are exported to Japan, they must also be tested and labeled according to Japanese standards. The test does not necessarily have to be conducted in Japan, but the test equipment must be compared and corrected with Japanese standard equipment, and the test data must be recorded and published by the Japan Association before it can be sold in Japan.
It is understood that the penetration rate of low-fuel tires in 2011 was 50.7 percent for five members of the Japan Auto Tire Association (Bridgestone, Sumitomo, Yokohama, Toyo, and Michelin Japan).
The two parties also conducted in-depth exchanges and exchanges on hot topics such as the development of the tire industry, the industrial policies of the two countries, market demand, natural rubber price fluctuations, green tires, tire testing grounds, standards, and import and export supervision. Both sides believed that the round table meeting was very fruitful and both parties gave detailed answers to the other party's concerns. We hope that more communication and exchanges in this area should be conducted in the future.
