ECE Alignment status for 2w

SIAM JAMA MEETING31-OCTOBER 2014

Principles of alignment• SIAM has following preference for aligning the Indian

regulation with:1. GTR2. ECE Regulation3. EU directive (if GTR or ECE R do not exist for that subject)4. Any other foreign national regulation if none of the above

exist.• While aligning with GTR:– Where options are permitted in GTR. The option best

suited for India is adopted:• E.g. In GTR 3 for brakes. PBC measurement as per

ASTM.• Approval and marking schemes as per Indian practice.

Principles of alignment with ECE R• The basic characteristics and performance values are taken

with out change. E.g.– Photometric values for light and light signalling devices– Stopping distances for brakes.

• But every feature is studied w.r.to1. Is the feature essential for Indian conditions:

– If yes, included as mandatory.2. Are the benefits of feature doubtful in Indian conditions?

– If yes, included as optional. E.g. AHO (at the time when AIS 009 was revised)

Principles of alignment with ECE R3. Will the ECE feature pose a safety hazard in Indian

condition?• If yes, exclude them. E.g– Headlamps with passing beam pattern for both

kinds of traffic with necessary adjustment to be done by the driver depending on which traffic pattern he is in.

– Allowing headlamps with main beam and passing beam to be approved only for passing beam.

4. Is the non ECE features in current regulation really needed?• If no, exclude them from the standard E.g. many of

the environmental and durability tests for light and light signalling devices.

Transitional Provisions• Transitional provision principles (AIS 00)

permit:– Use of the revised standard, after it is approved by CMVR

TSC, in lieu of the old version.– Changes in ECE issued as supplements (i.e. as per ECE old

type approvals continue to be valid) are allowed to be used with permission of Chairman AISC.

– However, changes in ECE issued as “series of amendments” (i.e. as per ECE re-type approval is needed) are not permitted.

Benefits • These principles and transitional provisions

permit• Use of parts complying with ECE regulations to

be used, subject to:– ECE Regulation Series of amendments up to the

AIS/BIS level.– Additional Indian Approval process remains.– Not Applicable when an “ISI” marking has become

mandatory.

Current status• The ECE regulations and current status are

tabulated in subsequent slides.• Some of the standards are approved by CMVR TSC,

but not yet notified.– But are permitted to be used because of transitional

provisions.• There have been changes in ECE R, in many of such

cases, but• SIAM prefers not to propose any changes to these

AIS/BIS till these standards are notified.

• No need felt by SIAM to take up these standards for any Revision

• Even though the lead times were agreed in the CMVR TSC, may get changed at the time of notification.

• In the case of IS14664, availability of test track is also a constraint.• SIAM expects to firm up the proper definition for new model shortly.
