4. CO2 emission CO2 to be measured and reported
5. Gradeability test AIS 003

6. EMC test (Vehicle level or assembly level) AIS 004 (Part 3)
7. Offset Frontal Collision AIS-098
Note : Only if there is increase in the kerb
mass w.r.t approved model/variant
having highest GVW, by more than 8%
(b) Vehicles shall meet all the safety requirements as per AIS 024, AIS-028
Revision 1 as applicable.
(c) Type approvals for vehicles retrofitted with LPG kits shall be valid for three
years from the date of issue of such approval and shall be renewed for every
three years at a time.
(d) LPG kit shall be type approved for vehicles of specific make. Such kit shall
be considered fit for retrofitment in any vehicle within a specified range of
engine capacity of cc within a range of ± 7% for vehicles up to 1500 cc & ±
5% above 1500 cc.
(e) Real world driving cycle emission measurement using PEMS shall be
carried out for data collection for three years from the date of notification
for the computation of Conformity factor (CF).
(f) The engine power shall be measured on engine dynamometer as per
procedures prescribed in AIS 137 as amended from time to time. Measured
power with LPG shall be within a range of -15% £ Power on LPG £ +5%
w.r.t the power measured on diesel. The power test can be performed, on
request of the manufacturer, on the complete vehicle on a chassis
dynamometer. The engine power shall be calculated as the sum of the power
measured at wheels and the transmission losses of the vehicle.
(g) LPG vehicles or kit components, including their installation, shall conform
to the safety checks given in the Annexure VIII.
(h) In-service conformity and IUPR requirements to be applicable after 3 years
from the date of implementation of this notification.]
(8) Applicable Emission Norms : The emission norms as mentioned in column (3)
of the Table below excluding particulate matter shall be applicable to the corresponding
categories of engines as mentioned against them in column (2) of the said Table.
