Approval Mark E49

E49
Type approval — which authority granted itCyprus
Approved by Cyprus under the UN 1958 Agreement — not made there. An approval granted by any one party is recognised by all the others, which is the whole point of the scheme: the tyre was built wherever its maker builds tyres.

Defined in UN vehicle regulation.

Where E49 is on the tyre

The approval mark sits low on the sidewall in its own small lettering, apart from the size. On a real tyre the E is inside a circle. Here it is on an example tyre.
