Under CMVR
Harmonization of Automotive Regulations
• Approval of vehicle/ component is required according to the law of
nation
• Different countries adopt different technical regulations
• With globalization of trade, efforts are made to harmonize vehicular
regulations world-wide
• Major role is played by WP.29 under UNECE

•Inspection
and
Certification
VEHICLE TESTING – PRESENT SCENARIO
•Every year a fitness certificate is issued, for the
roadworthiness to all public service or commercial vehicles
running on the road by the Transport department (RTO
office) as per rule 62 of CMVR.
•The fitness tests are presently based completely on visual
inspection only.
•There are certain critical parameters related to safety
and emissions which should be checked thoroughly by
specialised equipment only installed at Inspection and
certification lanes called I&C lanes.
VEHICLE TESTING – PRESENT SCENARIO
•Due to absence of I&C lanes network in the country
existing vehicles on road pose a great hazard for public
safety and environment at large.
•The new vehicles are extensively tested from point of
view of safety at manufacturer’s end. However, in use
vehicles continue to run on road without consideration for
safety of public or mitigation of pollution in environment.
VEHICLE TESTING – PRESENT SCENARIO
THE SOLUTION IS: Vehicle Test Lane
The solution to the above problem is to set up network of the
Vehicle Test Lanes all over the country where all the vehicles
(HCVs, LCVs, MCVs, cars, taxis, 3 wheelers and even 2
wheelers ) can be tested for fitness parameters like Brakes,
Headlight, Suspension, Alignment, Pollution, Speedometer
including above and under carriage inspection.
All the test data is stored in the computer.
This will ensure movement of safer and environment friendly
vehicles on road besides bringing concept of End of Life of a
vehicle on road as prevalent in rest of the advanced world.

INSPECTION INTERVAL EXAMPLES IN
DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
0/1 = inspection at first registration and then every year
4/2 = inspection 4 years after first registration and then every 2 years
