This standard specifies the method for measuring the snow grip performance of passenger car tyres. To reduce the measurement deviation, this standard adopts the test method of comparing with standard reference test tyre.
It is applicable to the 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
a set of special candidate tyres that are used as a benchmark in an evaluation system These tyres usually have carefully controlled design features to minimize variation and they are produced, controlled and stored according to the relevant standards.
3.3
control tyre
tyre which is used to indirectly obtain the comparison result between candidate tyre and standard reference test tyre by comparing with the candidate tyre and then the standard reference test tyre when the candidate tyre and the standard reference test tyre cannot be directly compared on the same vehicle
3.4
braking test
specified amount of anti-blocking brake system (ABS) braking carried out repeatedly on the same tyre in a short time
3.5
mean fully developed deceleration; mfdd
mean deceleration calculated according to the measuring distance recorded when the vehicle slows down between two specified speeds
3.6
snow grip index; SG
ratio of the snow grip performance between the candidate tyre and the standard reference test tyre
