In a
message posted on the CMP mailing list on the subject of Simex 9.00-16 tyres, Richard Notton notes a reason for tyres being marked "implement":

[The Simex ST24/SA24 tyres] have performed faultlessly on the F15 and I do wonder if the huge weight of actual run-flats might not overawe the shock absorbers. In tiny numbers these wont be E marked but must have "another" designation, in this case I believe something like "implement" was stamped in black ink, almost invisible except in a certain light, on one wall only which really defines which way the tyres are fitted, if you get my drift.

So in fact the "implement" rating on tyres might only have to do with the fact that it does not pay back to certify a certain type of tyre of which only relatively small numbers are sold in the European Union.
Who knows more about this?
