TS ISO 4223-1/AMD1

TS ISO 4223-1/AMD1 is an amendment to TS ISO 4223-1, the terminology standard for pneumatic tyres used in the tyre industry. It defines a number of significant terms together with their corresponding codes, symbols and values, helping engineers, manufacturers and technical writers use the same concepts consistently.

Pneumatic tyres are tyres that contain pressurised air and play a central role in load carrying, road contact and ride comfort. In technical documentation, precise terminology matters because tyre geometry, dimensions, performance-related descriptors and classification language are often used across design, testing, production and trade. Clear definitions reduce ambiguity when specifying products or comparing tyre types.

How the terminology set is organised

The scope of this part covers selected important terms related to pneumatic tyres, along with associated codes, symbols and values. The note points users to ISO 3877-1 through ISO 3877-4 for other terms used in this field and their equivalents in other languages, and to ISO 3911 for terms and definitions relating to wheels and rims. This shows that the document focuses on a defined core of tyre terminology rather than the entire vocabulary of the sector.

As an amendment document, AMD1 updates the underlying terminology framework of the parent standard rather than replacing the whole subject area on its own. It is therefore most useful where exact wording, term matching and concept separation matter in tyre-related technical communication.

• Covers significant pneumatic-tyre terms with related codes, symbols and values.
• Supports consistent technical language across the tyre industry.
• Sits alongside the ISO 3877 series and ISO 3911 as part of the wider terminology landscape.
• Being AMD1, it represents an update to the parent standard rather than a standalone full replacement.
