4 Requirements
4.1 General provisions
4.1.1 Size
The size of the SGD shall correspond to the tyre size list supplied by the SGD producer.
4.1.2 Adaptability
The SGDs shall be adjustable to the shape and dimension of the tyres for which they are intended.
4.1.3 Design
After mounting and tensioning the SGD, no more than 1/8 of the wheel circumference may remain SGD-
free in any part of the tyre tread.
4.1.4 Static envelope
With vehicle stopped, the additional envelope of the SGD fitted on the tyre shall not be greater than:
— 20 mm on the internal side;
— 20 mm on the tyre tread;
— 25 mm on the external side (restricted to the tyre zone);
— 30 mm (only in case of Envelope Class 30, on internal, external and tyre tread side).
Concerning the envelopes on both the tyre tread and the internal side, the producer shall indicate, for
each SGD type, the appropriate envelope class among those defined in Annex B. In this case, for the
affiliation class of the type, all the dimensions mentioned in Table B.1 shall not be exceeded.
4.1.5 Construction and materials
The SGDs shall be built:
— in order to resist to the usage requirements (e.g.: different road surfaces, different vehicles having
different mass, etc);
— in a way that both snow and ice eventually caught inside the device will not affect its performance
and safety requirements.
In addition, all the elements setting up a SGD:
— shall be articulated among one another in order to permit to the adaption of the SGD to the tyre
deformation during the rolling process. The relative movement between the tyre and the SGD shall
be guaranteed;
— shall not cause any damage to the tyre during normal use as a result of their conformation;
— those permitting, the fitting on the tyre tread shall be shaped in order to achieve the grip on snow
and ice without impairing the behaviour of the vehicle;
— shall permit an increase of adherence both on the longitudinal axis (i.e: hill starting ability, braking)
and on the lateral axis (i.e: road holding in a turn), so to guarantee the necessary safety level to the
vehicle while driving on snowy or/and icy roads.
The side panel/tensioning system of the SGD part shall be connected to each other when mounted, in
such a way that loosening under the occurring loads and movements is prevented.
The tyre tread parts shall be delivered as pre-assembled elements.
