Overview
ISO 17464:2016 - "Pneumatic tubes for automotive vehicles - Technical requirements and test methods" specifies technical requirements, sampling and laboratory test procedures for inner tubes used in pneumatic tyres for automotive vehicles. The standard defines material classes, dimensional and uniformity criteria, mechanical and ageing performance limits, air‑tightness checks, and marking and traceability requirements. It references established test methods (e.g., ISO 37, ISO 188) to ensure consistent quality and safety of tubes across the automotive supply chain.
Key topics and technical requirements
Practical applications and users
- Manufacturers of inner tubes and rubber compounds use ISO 17464 to design, test and certify production lots.
- Automotive OEMs, tyre remanufacturers, aftermarket tube suppliers and quality assurance laboratories rely on the standard to specify procurement criteria and verify performance.
- Regulatory and procurement teams include ISO 17464 in specifications to ensure compatibility, durability and safety of pneumatic tyre systems.
