Vehicle manufacturers will have to give details about the emission and noise levels of each vehicle they produce
Come 1st
of April 2017, manufacturers of all kinds of motor vehicles as also
E-rickshaws and E-carts will have to give detailed declaration about the
emission levels of the vehicle they have manufactured. Through a recent
notification, the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways has amended
Form 22 under the Central Motor Vehicles Act, 1989, through which
manufacturers provide the Initial Certificate of Compliance with
Pollution Standards, Safety Standards of Components Quality and Road
–Worthiness certificate for all vehicles. Earlier, Form 22 only
certified that the vehicle in question complied with the provisions of
the Motor Vehicles Act and rules there under, including the relevant
emission norms – Bharat Stage I/II/III etc.
From 1st April, 2017 however, the vehicle manufacturers will have to
provide emission details for each vehicle in the revised Form 22 . The
Form will include the brand, chassis number, engine number (motor
number, in case of battery operated vehicles) and emission norms –
Bharat Stage - IV / VI /Bharat (Trem) Stage-III/III etc of the vehicle
and specify the levels of each pollutant like carbon monoxide, hydro
carbon, non-methane HC, NOx, HC + NOx, PM etc for petrol and diesel
vehicles and also sound level for horn and pass by noise values. The
amended rules will apply to all vehicles run on petrol, CNG, LPG,
electric, diesel and hybrid, including agricultural and construction
vehicles, as well as E-rickshaws and E-carts. Form 22 will be issued
with the signature of the manufacturer. In the case of E-rickshaws and
E-carts, this Form will be issued with the signature of an authorized
signatory of registered E-rickshaw or E-cart association.
