Draft AIS-132/D9
January 2017
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 published this standard. For better dissemination of this
information ARAI may publish this document on their Website.
The standard also limits the volumes of such vehicles which can be
produced over a period and the validity of the type approvals granted to
them after which new initiatives would be needed by the manufacturer to
meet latest requirement.
The AISC panel and the Automotive Industry Standards Committee
responsible for preparation of this standard is given in Annexure-III and
Annexure-IV respectively.

Procedure for Approval of Vehicles produced or imported in Small Series, and
Vehicles produced or imported under Pilot/Demonstration Projects
1.1 Definitions:
1.1.3 Small Series Special Purpose Vehicles: A vehicle of category M, N, and L for
performing a special function for which special body arrangements and/ or equipment
are necessary (as defined in AIS 053).

1.3 Volume Limits for the Vehicles produced or imported in Small Series, and
Vehicles produced or imported under Pilot/Demonstration Projects:
For small series approval, the number of vehicles produced or imported shall be as
specified in the table below. For vehicles Produced or imported under
Pilot/Demonstration Projects, the nodal agency in charge may announce the number of
vehicles that may be covered under this procedure. In the absence of any such
specification, the following shall apply :
Vehicle Category Annual Domestic Production / Imports
(for each model including its variants and versions)
A C1 C2
M1, N1 250 25 up to 100 Units
M2, M3, N2, N3 100 10 up to 50 Units
L 250 50 up to 200 Units
1.4.1 This procedure shall be applicable only to vehicle manufacturer, who has its own
manufacturing facility in India and service network of its own or through tie up in India
and who has type approved at least one model as per Rule 126 of CMVR.
1.4.2 The models (including their variants and versions) which are already approved for all
applicable requirements laid down in Central Motor Vehicle Rules need not separately
be approved under this procedure.
In case the test procedure required for establishing the qualification criteria for the
incentive programme for the category of the vehicle concerned is not yet possible to be
implemented (due to constraints like test facilities readiness, etc), such tests shall be
exempted (by the designated agency) till the time said tests are possible to be
conducted. Such exemptions shall cease to be valid after 12 months from the time said
tests are possible to be conducted.
1.4.3 The Vehicle produced or imported under Small Series, and Vehicles produced or
imported under Pilot/Demonstration Projects will be exempted from the requirements
of Emission Conformity of Production (CoP) as notified under CMVR No. 115 and
AIS 037 safety component COP requirements under CMVR 124.
The Type Approval Certificate issued to the Vehicles produced or imported under
Small Series, and Vehicles produced or imported under Pilot/Demonstration Projects
shall have a Validity as mentioned below:
Page 4 of 24
Draft AIS-132/D9
January 2017
A Small Series Vehicles Valid till 24 Months from the issue
of Type Approval Certificate
C Pilot fleet/Demonstration approval
C1 For vehicles for which CMVR Valid till 24 Months from the issue
regulations do not exist of Type Approval Certificate
C2 For vehicles for which CMVR Valid till 24 Months from the issue
regulations exist. The need for such of Type Approval Certificate
demonstration fleets may be linked
to a national or state level incentive
programme.
1.5.1 At the end of this validity period or optionally before that OEM shall obtain:
a) Small series type re-approval as per this standard. Normally only one re-
approval shall be granted. Further re-approvals shall be granted at the discretion
of the approval authority after the authority has assured itself that the applicant
is not using the Small Series approval process to circumvent the regular
complete approval process. For all re-approvals a new vehicle shall be
submitted along with the application to the approving authority.
or
b) Full type approval under CMVR new type
or
c) Discontinue the series with the intimation to test agencies
1.5.2 At the time of certification the latest standard / notification shall be considered for the
test specified under this standard. Further, the latest notified rules and standards may
specify requirement, which are over and above the requirements listed in this standard.
2.1 In the case of vehicles qualifying under criteria specified in Clause 1.0, the following
procedure shall be followed :
2.1.1 For the purpose of establishing the compliance as per this procedure, the requirements
as mentioned in Annexure I or II shall be complied with.
Applicability of the standard shall be as per applicability notified in CMVR.
2.1.1.1 The test reports issued by Testing agency notified under Rule 126 of CMVR shall be
required to establish compliance to the provisions related to subjects marked with
Abbreviation “T”.
If for any of the items marked with Abbreviation “T” specific provisions / exemptions
are mentioned in CMVR, and applicable standards, the same shall be applicable for
establishing compliance for such items.
2.1.1.2 The test reports issued either by the Vehicle Manufacturer / Component Supplier or by
a Third party test agency shall be required to establish compliance with the provisions
related to subjects marked with Abbreviation “R”.
Page 5 of 24
Draft AIS-132/D9

For the items listed in marked with Abbreviation “R”, if due to any specific reason it is
not possible to furnish the test report(s) as per any of the above Indian regulations, the
test reports for compliance to ECE regulations / EU directive / FMVSS / ADR / JIS/
SAE etc., corresponding to the applicable Indian Regulation shall be accepted at the
