INTRODUCTION

The Government of India felt the need for a permanent agency to expedite the publication
of standards and development of test facilities in parallel when the work on the preparation
of the standards is going on, as the development of improved safety critical parts can be
undertaken only after the publication of the standard and commissioning of test facilities.
To this end, the erstwhile Ministry of Surface Transport (MOST) has constituted a
permanent Automotive Industry Standards Committee (AISC) vide order No. RT-
11028/11/97-MVL dated September 15, 1997. The standards prepared by AISC will be
approved by the permanent CMVR Technical Standing Committee (CTSC). After approval,
the Automotive Research Association of India, (ARAI), Pune, being the Secretariat of the
AIS Committee will publish this standard. For better dissemination of this information
ARAI may publish this document on their Website.

Conformity of Production (CoP) Procedure for verifying compliance to Constant Speed

Fuel Consumption Norms for Commercial Vehicles with GVW/GCW exceeding 3.5 tonnes,
have been mandated by government vide notification S.O. 2670 dated 16th August 2017 and
the subsequent notification to be issued by MoRTH. The notification calls for testing of
vehicles for continued compliance. A need was felt to formulate a procedure addressing
these requirements.

The AISC panel and the Automotive Industry Standards Committee responsible for
preparation of this standard is given in Annex D and Annex E respectively.

to time, of the selected samples.
4.8 The Test Agency will inform the vehicle manufacturer, its time schedule for the selection
of random sample and for carrying out the CoP tests. If the vehicle manufacturer has a
problem for this time table for reason such as that particular model is not likely to be
scheduled for production at that time, or enough number of vehicles may not be available
etc., the time schedule should be modified based on mutual convenience of the
manufacturer and test agency.
5.0. CoP PERIOD AND SELECTION OF RANDOM SAMPLE
5.1. The CoP for every vehicle model and its variants shall be carried out once in the period
of two years, viz. 1st April of first year to 31st March of third year.
5.2. The period between commencement of production/import of a new model and beginning
of next rationalized CoP period is less than 2 months; the same would be merged with
the rationalized CoP period.
5.3. The number of a specific vehicle model and its variants produced/ imported were less
than 250 in any consecutive period of six months in a year, CoP should be carried out as
per clause No. 6 of this standard.
Provided that in case the number of vehicles sold in India for a given base model and its
variants (manufactured in India or imported to India) are less than 250 in any consecutive
period of six months in a year, then such base model and its variants need not be
subjected to the above test, if at least one model or its variants manufactured or imported
by that manufacturer or importer, as the case may be, is subjected to such tests at least
once in two years;
Provided further that, in case the number of base models and its variants manufactured /
imported is more than one and if the individual base model and its variants are less than

up one of the vehicles out of such models and their variants once in two years for carrying
out CoP test.

4/19
 AIS-149

5.4 If the vehicle manufacturer produces a vehicle model in more than one plant, the test
agency may randomly choose one plant for CoP compliance checking among all the
plants in which model is produced. Sample selection for CoP and extended CoP tests
shall be from the same plant. When a vehicle model is approved for CoP in one plant, it
shall be deemed to be compliant to CoP in all the plants in which it is produced. Similarly,
when a vehicle model failed to meet CoP in one plant, it shall be deemed to be failed to
meet CoP in all the plants in which it is produced. To the extent possible, the test agency
shall select successive vehicle models for CoP compliance checking from different plants
at random in order to cover all plants of the company in the shortest time possible.

6.0. CHECKS ON CONFORMITY OF PRODUCTION BY THE TESTING AGENCY

6.1. General:
These requirements are consistent with the test to be held to check conformity of
production according to this procedure. The CoP shall be applicable to every model and
its variant as per the Type Approval obtained by the Vehicle Manufacturer with the test
agency.
6.2. Running in:
The randomly selected vehicle shall be run in by the vehicle manufacturer as
recommended by the concerned vehicle manufacturer under strict supervision and
control, before the vehicles are tested by the respective test agency. After this, the
manufacturer will be permitted by the test agency to carry out all the adjustments
recommended in his user's/service manual and as amended and intimated to the
concerned test agency from time to time, under the control of test agency.
6.2.1 As an alternative to the running in procedure, manufacturer may use a fixed evolution
coefficient (EC) of 0.92 and multiply all values of CSFC measured at zero km by this
factor.
6.3. Testing procedure:
The test procedure shall be as described in IS 11921. Fully built vehicles shall be tested
in the fully built form as submitted by the vehicle manufacturer. In case of incompletely
built vehicles, the tests shall be conducted on the vehicle with the fitment of a test cabin
and load body as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
6.4. Sampling:
Two vehicles has to be randomly chosen from a sample size of at least 5 vehicles. One
vehicle will be subjected to test while the second vehicle will be kept as standby.

7.0 EXTENDED CoP TESTS

7.1 If the first sample tested for CoP fails to meet CoP requirements as mentioned in clause
8, the test agency shall select 2 additional samples (i.e., cumulative sample of 3 vehicles
including the first vehicle) and conduct extended CoP test. Table-2 shall be followed for
sample selection and to decide pass/fail of CoP tests in conjunction with clause 8.

7.1.1 In the case of 10.1, the samples should be offered for random selection within four weeks
of start of production / import without implementing any design / production
modifications which would affect performance.

7.1.2 The test agency shall endeavour to complete further testing of the samples of the vehicles
selected according to 10.2 within 6 weeks from the date of selection of the samples.

7.2 For each of the tests, the following procedure is used where the test statistic is the number
of vehicles which have not met the limit criteria as mentioned in clause 8 for the tests:

(i) If the test statistic does not exceed the pass decision number for the sample size
given in the following table, a pass decision is reached for the test,

(ii) If the test statistic equals or exceeds the fail decision number for the sample size
given in the following table, a fail decision is reached for the test,

(iii) Otherwise, an additional vehicle is tested and the procedure is applied to the sample
with one extra unit.

8.0 CoP REQUIREMENTS

8.1 The vehicle model shall meet the prescribed Constant Speed Fuel Consumption limits
defined in the notification issued by MoRTH / MoP&NG/ MoP.

8.2 A tolerance of +8 percent (on account of vehicle & test variations, atmospheric
conditions, calibrations & test equipment accuracies) shall be allowed on the CSFC
limits (in L/100km) notified by BEE for type approval to judge whether the test value of
the sample meets the requirements of CSFC limits as stated in 8.1 above. This tolerance
shall also be applicable to all the samples in the extended CoP tests done as per para 7.0.

9.0 CoP CERTIFICATE

If the vehicle meets the requirements of CoP, the test agency will issue a CoP certificate
to the manufacturer. The certificate for CoP will cover the vehicle model and its variants
produced/planned to be produced during the CoP interval. The CoP report and CoP
certificate shall be as per the format given in Annexes B and C respectively.

10.0 CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE / NON-COMPLIANCE / NON-SUBMISSION

10.1. If the vehicle fails to meet the requirements of CoP (including extended CoP tests), the
testing agency shall send the Copies of the test report to the nodal agency and the vehicle
manufacturer. The nodal agency will make a decision and convey the same to the
manufacturer and test agencies within 4 weeks of the receipt of the failure report of the
CoP, after calling for a Standing Committee meeting to discuss and advise the nodal
agency. The vehicle manufacturer will be given an opportunity to present his case to the
committee before advising the nodal agency. Based on the recommendations of the
committee, the nodal agency may issue the order for withdrawal of type approval
certificate and stop dispatch of the vehicles by the manufacturer from his works.

7/19
 AIS-149

10.2. In case the type approval certificate has been withdrawn as per Para 10.1 above, the
manufacturer can subsequently identify the reason for not meeting the CoP and necessary
corrective measures. Then they should inform the same to the Nodal and concerned test
Agency and offer the rectified vehicle for testing. The test agency will carry out a
complete test as per the relevant type approval procedure on this rectified vehicle. If the
modifications are only in the production process without involving any model change, it
should meet the CoP norms. If the modifications call for changes resulting in a model
change, it should meet the type approval norms. If the modified vehicle passes the
relevant norms, the manufacturer will write to the Nodal and concerned Test
Agency which has carried out the test, the modifications which are to be finally carried
out on the vehicles to be produced/ Imported in future and the vehicles which require
retrofitting/rectifications. Type approval will be restored by the nodal agency subject to
Para 10.5. Further, a special CoP will be carried out within a month, if a regular CoP is
not scheduled within that period. If the regular CoP is scheduled within that period, a
special CoP need not be carried out.

10.3. The manufacturer can also offer the rectified vehicle from serially produced vehicles, for
random selection if the changes do not constitute a model change. In case the
manufacturer offers serially produced vehicle for random selection instead of a
submitted sample, the special CoP mentioned above need not be carried out.

10.4. If a manufacturer identifies the reason for not meeting the CoP and the necessary
corrective actions (if the corrective measures do not constitute a model change), when
actions under preceding 7.1 to 10.3 are on-going, the manufacturer should inform the
same to the Nodal and concerned test Agency and request to abort the actions on-going
under Para 7.1 to 10.3 and offer the vehicle for carrying out the tests as per Para 10.2 and
10.3 Then the testing agency will carry out the test as per Para 10.2 and 10.3 and report
the results to the nodal agency. If the vehicle meets the requirements, then the nodal
agency will instruct the test agency to issue the CoP certificate along with instructions
to the manufacturer to carry out corrective actions, if any, within a stipulated period as
per Para 10.5. The CoP certificate will be issued by the test agency after the special CoP
vehicle meets the requirements, if the case calls for it. If the vehicle does not meet the
requirements, action under Para 10.1 will follow.

10.5. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure at his cost that the modifications /
modified components are carried out / retrofitted, within a period specified by the nodal
agency, on all the vehicles produced /dispatched in the period between the dates of which
the CoP became due as per Para 4.0 and restoration of the type approval by the nodal
agency as per Para 10.2 or when the nodal agency has informed the test agency and the
manufacturer as per Para 10.4.
