ÖNORM V5117 Standard Test Method for Snow Chains for Classes M1, N1, O1, O2

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ÖNORM V5117 testing. The chain must perfectly match each tire size and BS match, especially ÖNORM V5117 (for cars, light commercial vehicles and trailers) or ÖNORM V 5119 (for trucks, articulated vehicles, buses and trailers).

In addition, for the snow chain to be effective in any position of the wheel, the power-transmitting parts of the chain must be spread almost evenly on the wheel. Once used, the snow chain is allowed to be free of up to one-eighth of the wheel circumference. Particularly important: Snow chains must not significantly affect the behavior of the vehicle and cause further damage neither to the vehicle, to the tires nor to the road surface.

The tests applied to a snow chain are harsh. It also provides appropriate guidelines for the standard. Snow chains allowed on inspection are not deformed or damaged. Thus, all elements in the operating system area withstand a force of 4000 N, while all other traktionübertragenden parts withstand 3300 N.
