RPRA is delaying verification requirements for tires
RPRA is delaying verification requirements in 2026 for producers of tires, as outlined further below.
The deadline for submitting annual supply and performance reports by May 31, 2026, remains the same. Registrants will be notified when the registry opens for reporting.
Will producers be required to submit a supply data verification report in 2026?
RPRA is currently consulting on proposed updates to the cut-off thresholds that determine if a producer is considered large or small for supply data verification under the tires program. The proposed cut-off thresholds remove the “medium” producer category. Coming out of the consultation, RPRA will revise its tires supply data verification procedure to include the finalized thresholds.
Producers who meet the “large producer” threshold in the finalized procedure will be required to submit a supply data verification report by June 30, 2026. Small producers will not be required to submit a verification report but will be subject to inspections.
RPRA will communicate with producers when the procedure is finalized.
