Tire certification for cars, pickup trucks, and trucks is mandatory in Uruguay and is regulated by Decree 349/998. LSQA, as a certification body accredited by the Uruguayan Accreditation Body (OUA), provides this service by ensuring compliance with applicable technical and safety requirements.
Having this certification is essential because:
- Verifies that tires comply with national and international technical standards in terms of quality, safety, and performance.
- Ensures reliable product performance under different conditions of use, protecting the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
- Enables legal commercialization in the Uruguayan market, ensuring the product has been evaluated by a recognized body.
- Provides consumer confidence and market transparency, as products are certified by an independent body.
- Contributes to strengthening the industry by driving continuous improvement and the adoption of international quality standards.
LSQA carries out this process through technical audits, documentation review, verification of the manufacturer’s quality management system, and type testing of the tires.
