Full title and description

ISO 10454:2025 — Truck and bus tyres — Verifying tyre capabilities — Laboratory test methods. This International Standard specifies laboratory procedures for verifying the capabilities of truck and bus tyres.

Abstract

This document provides laboratory test methods to verify the capabilities of truck and bus tyres. Only some of the test methods presented will be required depending on the tyre type. The methods apply to all truck and bus tyres and are not intended for grading tyre performance or quality levels.

Scope

Specifies laboratory test methods for verifying capabilities of truck and bus tyres. The standard defines which laboratory procedures are applicable to different tyre types; it does not provide a system for grading performance or defining quality levels. Applicable to all truck and bus tyres.

Key topics and requirements

• Laboratory test methods for tyre capability verification (general test framework).
• Structural strength tests (tests of tyre structure and strength characteristics).
• Endurance/durability tests (long-duration or cyclic loading to assess performance over time).
• Requirements for test specimen preparation, conditioning and controlled laboratory conditions.
• Instrumentation, test equipment and procedural requirements to ensure repeatability and comparability of results.
• Reporting requirements and documentation of test results (records of conditions, measurements and outcomes).
• Applicability guidance (which tests are required for particular tyre types or constructions).

Typical use and users

Used by tyre manufacturers, test laboratories, vehicle manufacturers, conformity assessment bodies and technical committees to verify tyre structural strength and endurance characteristics in controlled laboratory conditions. Also used by R&D teams developing truck and bus tyres and by procurement or regulatory bodies requiring verified test data.

Related standards

Replaces ISO 10454:1993 (withdrawn). Related technical work is carried out by ISO/TC 31/SC 4 (tyre standards). Other complementary standards for tyre performance, dimensions and test methods may be referenced by manufacturers and test labs.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10454:2025 is an International Standard that specifies laboratory test methods to verify the capabilities of truck and bus tyres.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers laboratory procedures used to verify tyre capabilities (including structural strength and endurance tests), requirements for test conditions and reporting, and guidance about which tests apply to which tyre types. It does not establish grading or performance classification levels.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tyre manufacturers, independent and in-house test laboratories, vehicle manufacturers, conformity assessment bodies, R&D teams and standards committees working on tyre safety and verification.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Current — ISO 10454:2025 is the published (Edition 2) replacement for ISO 10454:1993 (the 1993 edition was withdrawn when the 2025 edition was published).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of ISO tyre-related work under ISO/TC 31/SC 4 and complements other ISO standards addressing tyre dimensions, performance and test procedures for road vehicle tyres.
