Overview

ISO 18885-1:2017 specifies the identification requirements for Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) snap-in valves. This international standard defines the key characteristics, methods for identification, and traceability measures of TPMS snap-in valves used in automotive applications. The document aims to standardize identification protocols to facilitate the accurate application and recognition of snap-in valves across different countries and markets.

By implementing ISO 18885-1:2017, manufacturers and stakeholders ensure consistent quality and enable end-users, service providers, and regulatory bodies to reliably identify and trace TPMS snap-in valves. This improves maintenance, safety, and interoperability of tyre pressure monitoring systems globally.


Key Topics

  • TPMS Snap-in Valve Definition
    A snap-in valve consists of a metal inner insert bonded to an elastomeric rubber body, designed to seal and retain the valve within the tyre rim.

  • Identification Methods
    The standard recommends visible identification on the external (weather) side of the valve, including:

    • Raised identifier beads on the rubber part – either circular or longitudinal shapes.
    • Use of an extended brass shoulder is noted but not advised for new products.
    • Marking the valve with the code “TPMS” on the valve body with a minimum letter height of 1.5 mm.
  • Traceability Requirements
    Proper traceability includes clear alphanumeric codes showing production date details such as day/year, week/year, or month/year. These codes are preferably marked on the brass or rubber parts, visible from outside the tyre.

  • Manufacturer Identification
    The valve should display the manufacturer's name or logo on either the internal or external side of the valve body, ensuring authenticity and traceability back to the producer.


Applications

  • Automotive Industry
    Essential for vehicle manufacturers and tyre suppliers to standardize TPMS components, ensuring compatibility and safety during manufacturing, servicing, and replacement.

  • Vehicle Safety and Maintenance
    Enables technicians and service personnel to easily identify TPMS valves, verify manufacturing dates, and traceability for quality control and warranty management.

  • Regulatory Compliance
    Supports compliance with international regulations requiring effective tyre pressure monitoring, contributing to vehicle safety and environmental standards through proper tyre inflation management.

  • Global Market Facilitation
    By harmonizing identification methods, ISO 18885-1:2017 helps companies sell TPMS-enabled tyres and valves internationally with consistent standards recognized across borders.


Related Standards

  • ISO 9413 – Tyre Valves: Dimensions and Designation
    Defines the physical dimensions and designation criteria for tyre valves ensuring interchangeable and standardized parts.

  • ISO 3877-2 – Tyres, Valves and Tubes: List of Equivalent Terms
    Helps unify terminology related to tyre valves across different languages and markets to reduce ambiguity.

  • ISO/IEC Directives Parts 1 & 2 – Development and Maintenance of ISO Standards
    Encompasses editorial and procedural rules under which ISO 18885-1:2017 was developed and published.


Implementing ISO 18885-1:2017 enhances the safety, traceability, and international acceptance of TPMS snap-in valves, supporting consistent tyre pressure monitoring for modern vehicles. This standard is a vital tool for manufacturers, automotive industry professionals, and regulatory authorities dedicated to advancing tyre safety technologies worldwide.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
