through deliberations at the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee
as the result of proposal for revision of Japanese Industrial Standard
sub111itted by Japan Bicycle Promotion Institute (JBPI)I (Japanese Stan-
dards Association (JSA) with the draft attached, based on the pro
vision of Article 12 Clause 1 of the Industrial Standardization Law ap-
plicable to the case of revision the provision Article 14.
Consequently, JIS K 6302:2008 is repJaced with this Standard, and JIS
D 9112:1991 has been withdrawn and replaced with this Standard.

round bar at the nlid-point of its bottom face adjacent to the carcass gradually to an
angle of 90, and hold it at this angle for 1 min. See if any fracture occurs in the test
piece, The standard and the standard humidity of the shall be
in accordance with 6.1 and 6.2 of JIS K 6250, respectively.
8.3 Bead wire tensile test
The bead wire tensile test shall be as follows.

K 6302: 2011
a) In the case of hard d.rawn steel wire If the sample is a single wire, take a
wire of about 200 mnl length so as to include the joint, such that the joint is at the
Inid-point of the test piece. Perforlll the tensile test specified in JIS Z 2241 using
this test piece, and express the l11eaSul'ed value of tensile strength in kN. If the
sample consists of two or more wires, use one of \vires by avoinding the part
where the wires are overlapped, and multiply the result by the number WIres.
For the test result, round the mean of the measured values of the two test pieces to
one decimal according to the rounding method in JIS Z 8401.
b) In the case of aramid fibre Perform the test method specified in 8.5 a) of JIS L
1017, and express the measured value of tensile strength in kN. For the test result,
round the measured value to one decimal place according to the rounding method
in JIS Z 8401.
8.4 Carcass cloth tensile test
Take a cloth layer of 10 mnl width (measure the innerlTIost layer f1'0111 a lower point
of the tread central part in the case of cord fabrics) from the carcass cloth in the direc-
tion of warp if it is cord fabric, and in both directions of warp and weft if plain weave
fabric, to prepare the test piece. lVleasure the tensile strength of the carcass cloth by
Class 1 or better tensile tester specified in JIS B 7721 according to the nlethod in a) 01'
b), in the case of cord fabl'ics, and according to the method b), in the case of plain weave
fabric. The tensile speed shall be 200 111m to 300 mnl per lnin, and and the free length
of test piece between grips shall be at least 20 mm. The standard temperature and
standard humidity of the laboratory shall be in accordance with 6.1 and 6.2 of JIS K
6250 respectively.
a) Method A }\treasure the maximuim tensile force when all cords of 10 mm width
test piece break sinlultaneously, and calculate the tensile strength by the following
formula. For test result, round the mean of the values obtained from three test
pieces to one decimal place according to the rounding rnethod specified in JIS Z

The cohesive strength between rubber and cloth shall be as follows.
a) If the carcass cloth is cord fabrics, take a piece of about 15 nlm from the sanlple in
the direction parallel to the warp of cloth adjacent to the tread and
cut off the bead part at one end. pee] off a srnaU part of the cloth d j ~

8.7 Water pressure test for rim running off resistance
8.7.1 Test apparatus
For the test apparatus, a water pressure testing manual pump or an equivalent, which
uses a pressure proof hose or a pipe with a minium inner mallleter of 3 111m as the
conduit to connect to a tyre rubber tube. The length of the conduit shall be 2 m or less.
The testing rim shall be that specified in JIS D 9421 and shall be symmetrical. Those

concerned with delivery.
8.7.2 Test method
l\10unt the specinlen on an appropriate 1'il11 as described above, and connect to the
water pressure tesitng pU111P through the conduit. After deflating the tube, re-inflate to
apply inner pressure gradually to adjust to position the bead in the correct and
increase the inner presssure gradually. The inner pressure shall be applied
gradually by attaining the standard inflation pressure specified in table 1 to table 3,
thereafter raised at a rate of 100 kPa 10 kPa per min. Read the pressure when the
bead runs off from the rim at any place, and take the value as the rim running-off
pressure. The indicator shall be read at time of pointer stabilizing, and the
measuring unit shall be 100 kPa.

K 6302 : 2011
The test apparatus shall be constructed so as to press the tyre on a drum surface
perpendicularly toward its centre to interlock the tyre with the drum rotation. The drunl
shall be made of iron with a smooth surface, and shall have the outer diameter of 760
lllm 10 111m and the width not less than twice the nOlninal width of specimen tyre. The
drum shall be attached with two shock bars of a length equal to the drum width on the
surface at even intervals along the periphery and in parallel with the drum axis.
The sectional shape of the shock bar shall be a rectangle of 10 mm 0.1 nnll width and
5 mm 0.1 mm height with each curvature radius of LO nnn 0.05 mm on the corners.
8.8.2 Test method
Putting a rubber tube of the corresponding designation into the sanlple tyre, and
mount thenl on a recommended rinl. Apply the standard inflation pressure specified in
table 1 to table 3 in the tube. Then, press the tyre vertically on the drum face with the
maxinlum load specified in table 1 to table 3, and rotate the tyre through the dl'Ulll
rotating. Set the drum rotating speed at a rate 40 km/h 4 km/h to perform the running
test until the running distance on the drum surface attains the running endurance
distance by the tyre designation given in table 4, and examine the tyre condition.
The room temperature of laboratory, measured at a position apart 1 m or 11101'e from
the specinlen, shall be 25C 10C.
8.9 Sidewall rubber owning test
8.9.1 Sampling and preparation of test piece
The sampling and preparation of test piece shall be as follows.
a) Cut the tyre into 60 mIll length x 55 mIll width, and take it as the test piece.
b) After heat-treating the test piece in a thermostat at a temperature of 60C 2 C
for 1 h, wind it around a round bar ( 15 mm) to make it a flat strip.
8.9.2 Test method
The test method shall be in accordance with JIS K 6259. In this case, the ozone
concentration shall be 250 ppb 50 ppb, and the testing time shall be 16 h. The part
within 5 mm of the tyre tightening part shall not be evaluated.
