Overview

prEN 16662-3 (CEN) defines the production control requirements for supplementary grip devices (SGDs) for tyres of passenger cars and light duty vehicles. It is the common audit and quality-system document that complements the performance and test provisions in EN 16662-1 and prEN 16662-2. The standard sets out how manufacturers must perform continuous factory production control (self-monitoring) and how accredited inspection bodies must carry out third‑party surveillance to verify ongoing conformity.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: General audit and quality system requirements applicable to every manufacturer and every type of SGD.
• Initial testing: Positive initial test results according to EN 16662-1 and prEN 16662-2 are required before market placement; test reports must confirm that all required tests were performed.
• Production control (self-monitoring):
  • Continuous or short-interval examination of products and processes.
  • Product properties to be monitored include dimensions (envelope classes per EN 16662-1) and performance properties defined in prEN 16662-2.
  • Frequency of checks determined using statistical methods relative to production/delivery volumes.
  • Manufacturer must document results and maintain an internal quality assurance system.
• Third‑party surveillance:
  • Surveillance contract required between producer and an accredited inspection body; covers each production plant.
  • Inspections at least once every 2 years, including review of factory production control documentation and testing of samples from running production.
  • Sampling performed by the inspection body; all tests defined in prEN 16662-2 shall be inspected.
  • Reporting obligations: testing body and applicant must report negative results or contract expiration to national authorities (if applicable) without delay and provably.
• Non‑conformity handling:
  • Deviations must be corrected within 3 months and verified by the inspection body.
  • If corrections fail, inspection body informs authorities and the product can no longer be marked as compliant; the applicant must notify retailers and take appropriate market actions.
• Documentation: Surveillance reports must record inspection findings and test outcomes.

Applications and users

Who uses prEN 16662-3:

• SGD manufacturers implementing factory production control and internal quality systems.
• Accredited testing bodies and inspection bodies conducting initial testing and periodic surveillance.
• Regulatory and national authorities overseeing market surveillance.
• Retailers and procurement teams assessing supplier conformity. Practical benefits include consistent product quality, reduced market risk, clear corrective action timelines, and documented evidence needed for compliance claims and market access.
