AIS-129
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,
has published this standard. For better dissemination of this information ARAI may
publish this standard on their web site.
A need was realised to minimise the impact of End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) on

environment, thus contributing to the protection, preservation and improvement of
the quality of the environment and energy conservation.
Several consultations were carried out by the group members within their
organisations as well as without. Seminars were conducted, wherein the concerned
stakeholders in the country as well as International experts on the topic presented
papers. SIAM participated in various international conferences organised by
reputed organisation such as International Automobile Recycling Congress (IARC)
and International Congress & Marketing (ICM AG). A study was also done on the
existing ELV recycling models in the countries of Europe, Japan and China. The
lessons learnt from those recycling models were keenly studied considering the
Indian scenario.
It was also realised that the ELV regulation cannot be the only solution towards
making automobile recycling an organised sector in the country and it is not the
only measure for making auto recycling an environment friendly process. However,
this can be one of the many steps required for this purpose and a very important one
too. The benefits of this regulation can only be reaped in conjunction with the
infrastructure development such as, inspection & maintenance of in service
vehicles, setting up ELV collection and dismantling centres across the country,
modernisation of existing recycling facilities, modernisation of vehicle registration
and de-registration system in the country as well as formulation and enforcement of
motor vehicle and environmental rules boosting the automotive recycling industry.
III
AIS-129
Considering the need to formulate the standard, an effort is being made by the
SIAM to formulate a regulation for the safe disposal of ELVs and reduction of
heavy metals in the vehicles. However, considering the Indian scenario, certain
modifications in the Automotive Industry Standard have been carried out.
The first part of the standard lays down the requirements for the collection and
dismantling centres, while the second part (Parts 2(A) and 2(B)) of the standard lay
down requirements for the vehicle manufacturers to comply with the RRR
calculations, to restrict the heavy metals in their vehicles, to suitably code the
plastic components and to provide dismantling information to the authorised
collection and dismantling centres.
The significant differences between the European regulation (2000/53, 2005/64)

and this AIS are as follows:
1. Considering the significant population of two wheelers in India, it was

decided to cover the 2-wheelers along with the M1 category vehicles in the
scope. On the other hand, the European directive covers M1 and N1
category in the scope.
2. The inclusion of N1 category in India was debated at length. Based on the

experience with implementation of M1 category, a decision will be taken for
inclusion of N1 category vehicles.
3. The marking of the parts is limited to only plastic components unlike

Europe where rubber components are also required to be marked.
4. The concept of an assessment to be carried out by appropriate agency before

type approval certificate is issued to the manufacturer has been captured.
5. To the extent possible, the criteria for approval of extension and reference
vehicle are defined for additional clarity in certification process.
6. EU directive covers spare parts also. However, in India, there is no

regulation in existence controlling the after market parts. Hence this
regulation does not cover any of the requirements for after market parts
covered by EU.
IV
AIS-129
7. The extended producer responsibility was considered to be unviable in an

emerging market like India, where the industry is not developed to that
maturity level. However, it is understood that it takes a lot of work from the
existing unorganised sector and hence, a demo centre has been set up by the
Govt of India under the NATRIP project with a comprehensive support from
SIAM and its members.
8. It is strongly believed that the market economy must take care of the final
ELV value offered to the customer.
Need for Modernisation of Vehicle Fleet in India

At present, India does not have a robust national policy on retirement of vehicles or
end-of-life of vehicles. Hence, it is important to capitalise on the developments that
the industry has catalysed in the country, over the last two decades. Vehicle users in
India tend to continue the usage well beyond the expected life of the product. Such
vehicles have higher emission content, lower fuel efficiencies and also have lower
safety standards. The government with the OEMs can promote an incentive scheme
to drive vehicle owners to replace older vehicles with new generation products.
Whilst the new vehicles are cleaner and meeting stringent emission requirements,
and a continuous plan is being evolved by the Government of India to further
improve the emission performance of these newly manufactured vehicles. However,
the benefits are not getting reflected in the ambient air quality due to the presence of
a large number of old and ill maintained polluting vehicles.
Approach - Replacement based on Vintage of the Vehicle

In order to mitigate immediate air quality problems and decreasing the menace of
road accidents, a one-time incentive scheme for retirement of old vehicles is
required and there is a need for Modernizing the Vehicle Fleet. An age based fleet
modernisation programme appears to be an effective option to tackle the problem of
emission from in-use vehicles on a one-time basis.
Given the profile of vehicle population in India, the suggested scheme would offer
an effective solution to the problem of vehicular pollution faced by India. And it
would be apt to focus the first phase in the eight major States of India, namely
Delhi, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat, Telangana and
Seemandhra.
V
AIS-129
The last owner of the vehicle will be issued a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) by
Regional Transport Authority; this certificate will be a tradable in nature.
Other Approach for supplementing the Fleet Modernisation Scheme
In order to discourage people from running old polluting vehicles, the rate of Road
Tax and rate of premium on Motor Vehicle Insurance could be increased
progressively with the age of the vehicle. As a pilot, it can be first used for
Commercial Vehicles, which have been languishing for more than a year, with
market have been contracted significantly.
The Automotive Industry Standards Committee (AISC) responsible for preparation

of this standard is given in Annexure-L given in Part 2 (B).

ANNEX- B
(See clause 4.2.2)
RRR CALCULATION METHOD FOR M1 CATEGORY
B.1 This Annex specifies the method for calculating recyclability rate and the
recoverability rate of a new vehicle, each expressed as percentage by
mass (mass fraction in percent) of the vehicle, which can potentially be
a) Recycled, reused or both (recyclability rate)

b) Recovered, reused or both (recoverability rate)
B.2 CALCULATION METHOD
The calculation of the recyclability and recoverability rates is carried out

through the following four steps on a new vehicle, for which component
parts, materials or both can be taken into account at each step:
a) Pre-treatment
b) Dismantling
c) Metal separation
d) Non-metallic residue treatment
A partial mass, mP, mD or mM is determined respectively at each of the

first three steps, while the partial masses mTr and mTe are determined at
the final step. Annex C, D give data presentation and a schematic
representation of the method.
B.3 MATERIAL BREAKDOWN
The materials breakdown of the vehicle is established by classifying all

the materials composing the vehicle into the following seven categories:
a) Metals;
b) Polymers, excluding elastomers;
c) Elastomers;
d) Glass;
e) Fluids;
f) Modified Organic Natural Materials (MONM), such as leather,
wood, cardboard and cotton fleece;
g) Others (components, materials or both, for which a detailed material
breakdown cannot be established such as compounds, electronics,
electrical).
The total mass of each category can then be determined

(see Annex C). This breakdown may be done at each step of the
calculation for each partial mass mentioned in B.2 above.
34/48
AIS-129
B.4 DETERMINATION OF PARTIAL MASSES mp, mD, mM, mTr and

mTe.
B.4.1 Pre-treatment – Determination of mp
At this step, the following vehicle component parts, material or both shall
be taken into account:
- All fluids;
- Batteries
- Oil filters
- Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanks
- Compressed natural gas (CNG) tanks
- Tyres;
- Catalytic converters
Note: Fluids include fuel, engine oil, transmission / gearbox oil

(including rear differential or transfer box or both), power
steering oil, coolant, brake fluid, shock absorber fluid, air
conditioning refrigerant, windscreen washer fluid, engine
mounting oil and hydraulic suspension fluid.
For the purpose of the calculation, these component parts and

materials are considered reusable or recyclable.
Determine the mass mp, as the sum of the masses of these
component parts and materials.
B.4.2 Dismantling – Determination of mD
At this step, certain other of the vehicle’s reusable or recyclable

component parts may be taken into account by the manufacturer, based on
the following.
a) As a general requirement, a component part shall be considered as

reusable, recyclable or both, based on its dismantability, assessed by:
- Accessibility
- Fastening technology and
- Corresponding proven technologies for dismantling.
b) As a specific requirement, a component part shall be considered as
recyclable, based on :
- Its material composition and
- corresponding proven technologies for recycling
In order to be recyclable, a component part or material shall be linked to

a corresponding proven technology for recycling. An additional
requirement is that the reusability of a component part shall be subject to
consideration of safety and environmental hazards.
Determine the mass mD as the sum of the masses of all parts considered
accordingly as reusable or recyclable.
35/48
AIS-129
B.4.3 Metals separation – Determination of mM
At this step, all metals ferrous and non ferrous which have not already
been accounted for in the previous steps shall be taken into account. Both
ferrous and non-ferrous metals are considered as recyclable.
 Determine the mass mM as the mass of the metal remaining in the

vehicle after the previous steps.
B.4.4 Non-metallic residue treatment – Determination of mTr and mTe.

The remaining other materials (i.e. materials not taken into account at the
pre-treatment, dismantling and metals separation steps) constitute the
non-metallic residue. At this step, the residual non-metallic recyclable
materials or both these materials and the residual non-metallic
recoverable materials may be taken into account.
 Determine mTr as the sum of masses of non-metallic residue
considered as recyclable on the basis of proven recycling technologies
(see Annex C Table C.1).
 Determine mTe as the sum of the remaining masses that can be
potentially be used for energy recovery after determination of mp, mD,
mM and mTr.
Note: Technologies for energy recovery of polymers and elastomers are
industrialized on a large scale world-wide. Therefore polymers,
elastomers and other modified organic natural materials can
potentially be recovered through those technologies.
B.5 CALCULATION FOR RECYCLABILITY / RECOVERABILITY

RATE
B.5.1 Recyclability rate
Calculate the recyclability rate Rcyc of the vehicle as a percentage by
mass (mass fraction in percent) using the formula,
Rcyc = (mP+ mD+ mM+ mTr ) X 100 / mV
B.5.2 Recoverability rate

Calculate the recoverability rate, Rcov, of the vehicle as a percentage by
mass (mass fraction in percent), using the formula:
Rcov = (mP+ mD+ mM+ mTr + mTe) X 100 / mV
