M/457 - Tyre pressure gauges
Standardisation mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI in the field of tyre pressure gauges for motor vehicles and tyre pressure management systems (measuring instruments)
Mandate M/457 requests CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop European standards for tyre pressure gauges and tyre pressure management systems used in motor vehicles. The aim is to ensure the accurate measurement and management of tyre pressure, promoting safety and efficiency. The mandate covers measuring instruments relevant to these systems. The decision involves the approval or disapproval of the mandate as referenced in resolution CEN/BT C28/2010, guiding the standardisation bodies in harmonising technical specifications and requirements across the European Union.
Purpose
The mandate M/457 concerns the development of European standards for tyre pressure gauges and tyre pressure management systems used in motor vehicles. It aims to ensure reliable and accurate measurement instruments to promote road safety and consumer protection.
Standardisation request
The European Commission requested the European standardisation organisations CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop harmonised standards for tyre pressure gauges and tyre pressure management systems. These standards are intended to cover measuring instruments to be used in motor vehicles, addressing technical specifications, performance criteria, and testing methods.
Expected deliverables
- Harmonised European standards for tyre pressure gauges applicable to motor vehicles.
- Standards for tyre pressure management systems incorporating measuring instruments.
- Technical requirements and conformity assessment procedures to ensure reliable operation and interoperability.
- Supporting documents that may assist manufacturers, regulators, and market surveillance authorities.
Context
This mandate was issued to standardise the measuring instruments used in tyre pressure monitoring, which is critical for vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and tyre wear. The request followed the resolution referenced as CEN/BT C28/2010, indicating the formal decision process within the CEN Technical Board. Standardisation under this mandate supports regulatory requirements and promotes market harmonisation across EU member states.
This mandate covers the standardisation of tyre pressure gauges for motor vehicles and tyre pressure management systems, focusing on measuring instruments related to tyre pressure monitoring and management.
General Information
This document covers reports on three experimental sampling studies which have been performed under mandate M/454 in order to check the accuracy of the developed sampling method for sampling of static heaps by comparing it to the sampling of the same fertilizer product in motion according to EN 1482-1 and to determine which sizes of static fertilizer heap, if any, can be sampled using existing sampling equipment.

This European Standard applies to the tyre pressure gauges (TPG) which operate using pressure equipment (devices used in fixed or mobile installations) to inflate the tyres of road using vehicles (M1 and M2 categories) and which may be capable of interacting with vehicles equipped with tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) whereby the TPG may be steered by the TPMS/vehicle.
To set the correct tyre inflation, this European Standard defines requirements and processes for the interoperability of TPG with TPMS/vehicle, through standardized interfaces and data exchange formats allowing advanced information, management and control systems between TPG and TPMS/vehicle. The architecture is open and scalable to support the different levels of interoperability (from full interoperability to fully manual).
This European Standard does not define communication protocols (works specifically made under M/453 European mandate).
This European Standard may be applied to all TPG categories referenced in the revision of EN 12645.
The driver/operator is considered as being responsible for the validation of the parameters and tyre pressure.
This European Standard will be applicable upon development of Infrastructure solution (V2I-I2V communication solutions).

This European Standard defines metrological and technical requirements and tests of tyre pressure measuring instruments.
Tyre pressure measuring instruments (often referred to as Tyre Pressure Gauges, [TPG]) are for the inspection of pressure and/or inspection of inflation/deflation of tyres of motor vehicles.
It establishes in the context of motor vehicles tyres, the minimum characteristics of the chain of measurement of tyre pressure measuring instruments intended to increase, inspect or adjust the pressure of tyres inflated by air or nitrogen.
These devices, classified in different categories, are hereinafter referred to by generic term, "tyre pressure measuring instruments".
This chain of measurement consists of all the elements between the tyre valve and the display device (connector, hose, control device, measurement components, reservoir, preset device etc.).
They indicate the pressure difference (pe) between the air or the nitrogen in the tyre and the atmosphere.
The field of application established above can be extended to other applications where no specific standard exists.
Because of the influence of tyre pressure on road safety and energy efficiency, periodical reverification is strongly advised.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/457 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Standardisation mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI in the field of tyre pressure gauges for motor vehicles and tyre pressure management systems (measuring instruments)". Standardisation mandate to CEN, CENELEC and ETSI in the field of tyre pressure gauges for motor vehicles and tyre pressure management systems (measuring instruments) There are 6 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
