The Legal Alternative to Snow Chains in most Countries Worldwide

Chain laws vary from state-by-state. Some states do not have chain laws at all, while others can invoke emergency declarations that overrule state statute. AutoSock is approved or permissible in every state.

AutoSock is generally approved across Canada for all vehicle classes and it is mandatory to carry them between October and April for commercial vehicles. B.C. currently makes an exception for vehicles above 11794 kg (26001 lb), which need to carry metal chains for major highways such as the Coquihalla Pass.

AutoSock is the first product worldwide to be certified according to new European standard EN16662-1:2020. Following EU procedures, the standard has been implemented as national standard in all EU member states, as well as in Norway, Iceland, Serbia and Turkey. This means, AutoSock for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles below 3,5 t gross weight can now be used whenever snow chains are mandatory in any country of the EU except Austria. 
Switzerland: As from October 2020, AutoSock for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles is a legally accepted alternative to snow chains.

The Japanese Ministry of Transportation released updated regulations concerning the use of traction devices and AutoSock can be used for any vehicles (including trucks) when snow chains are required.
