“At the time, the land was completely expropriated. Later, five years later, because of insufficient funds, the land was taken back.†When talking about the plan of the former Ministry of Chemical Industry to build a tire testing ground in Langfang, Hebei, in 1984, an industry insider was helplessly facing the tire world. Web editor said.
This is also a common feeling of tire companies. For many years, there has been no third-party public testing ground for the entire tire industry, which has caused difficulties in the detection of export products of tire companies. According to the requirements of the European Union's "Labeling Method" for tires, of the three indicators of rolling resistance, slippery road surface grip, and noise, both the wet grip and the noise indicators must pass the tire testing ground to obtain test data.
Go abroad to test "is a helpless move"
“All our tire inspections are sent to foreign countries for completion. Domestic inspections are also possible, but at this stage, foreign inspection reports are more persuasive than domestic ones. For this reason, we have to spend high costs and spend relatively long time. The inspection was carried out.†An employee of Shandong Jinyu tire technology department recently told the editor of Tyre World Network.
Shortly afterwards, Zhengxin Rubber Mags Test, which invested nearly 150 million U.S. dollars, was officially opened on November 16. According to reports, it is the second outdoor tire testing ground in China, and it is also the largest tire professional testing ground in Asia. The testing grounds are independent of each other. They are aimed at high-speed, braking, dry/wet land handling, noise, and durability. Vibration and noise and other conventional properties are tested, and the test conditions and equipment have reached the world's leading level.
However, if the trial site is considered to be in use, it will change the status quo that the industry has to go abroad for testing because there is no compliance test site. It would be wrong.
Tireworld.net recently edited a call to Zhengxin Rubber Co., Ltd. It was learned that the newly opened testing ground was "self-sufficient" and did not provide inspection services for other companies. It only ensured its own production of Marquis tyres in wetland adhesion and rolling resistance. , noise control and other performance, in line with EU standards.
This means that the status quo of the lack of a proving ground in the entire industry has not yet been changed.
Xu Shiqiang, manager of China United Rubber Exhibition Department, recently briefed Tire World Network on the status of tire testing. He said that at present, if it is to meet the requirements of testing in order to sell domestically, if you want to pass the threshold of the EU and the United States, it is the only way for a tire company that does not own a test field to send it to a foreign company. "The main inspection sites are Finland, Germany, and the United Kingdom."
The "Difficult to detect" status is hard to change
Previously, there were reports that there are currently three outdoor tire test sites still under construction or under construction. They are the Central Asia Tire Testing Site of Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd., Jiaozhou Bay Tire Testing Ground of Race Wheels Co., Ltd., and Beijing. Rubber Industry Research and Design Institute of Jiangsu Tire Testing Ground. So, will the situation improve in the near future?
"It's hard to say that the possibility is not great." Asked whether the trial sites under construction of the first two tire companies mentioned above are open to the whole industry, most people in the industry have given such an answer.
There are also informed sources that the exquisite tire test site will be open to the entire industry.
The explanation of this person is that the investment in the proving ground is very large and will not leave the machine idle for a long time. In addition, the original intention of setting up the test field is to solve the problem that domestic tires must be sent to foreign countries to generate huge amounts of money. If only for their own testing, the cost will be very difficult to recover. “It would be better to send them to foreign countries for testing.â€
In May this year, Ma Liangqing, deputy director of the Beijing Rubber Industry Research and Design Institute, once introduced that its tire test site project was led by the North Oak Institute. On the basis of the National Rubber Tire Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, an investor that had nothing to do with the tires was recruited for construction. , as a third-party public test site in China. It is understood that the project has issued an announcement in March this year to solicit cooperative investors.
The above project is the only project that clearly establishes a third-party public proving ground. The editor recently called on China Rubber to understand the progress of the project. The insider revealed: “The original test site was set up in Jiangsu, but the plan has produced some changes. The current situation is not yet clear.â€
From this point of view, the status of "difficult to detect" within the industry is still difficult to change for quite some time. In this regard, China National Rubber Co., Ltd. Senior Engineer Song Libo said that to establish a tire testing ground, land and funds are problems, if it involves the joint-stock system, it will face more trouble operating.
“Domestic professional third-party tire testing grounds will come out sooner or later, but it will take time to change the status quo and look forward to the above-mentioned companies to complete the project as soon as possible,†he said.
