This standard specifies the method for measuring wet grip performance of tyres for use on passenger cars braking on a wet-paved surface, and it is used to assess the wet grip capability of tyres for use on passenger cars braking on a wet-paved surface.
The test method of comparison with standard reference test tyre is adopted in this standard.
This standard is applicable to new passenger car tyres.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purpose of this standard, the terms and definitions established in GB/T 6326 as well as the following ones apply.
3.1
candidate tyre
tyre that is evaluated by testing
3.2
standard reference test tyre; SRTT; reference tyre
special test tyre (set) that is used as a benchmark in an evaluation programme. These tyres usually have carefully controlled design features to minimize variation. They are produced, controlled and stored according to relevant
3.3
control tyre
tyre (set) that is used to indirectly work out the comparison result between SRTT amd candidate tyre by comparing it with candidate tyre and then with SRTT when the candidate tyre and the reference tyre cannot be directly compared on the same vehicle
