SCHEDULE IV
(See rule 3)

STANDARDS FOR EMISSION OF SMOKE, VAPOUR, ETC. FROM MOTOR VEHICLES

(1) Every motor vehicles shall be manufactured and maintained in such condition and shall be so driven that 
     smoke, visible vapour, grit,sparks, ashes, cinders or oily substance do not emit therefrom.

(2) On and from the 1st day of March 1990, every motor vehicle in use shall comply with the following standards :-

     (a) Idling CO (Carbon monoxide) emission limit for all four wheeled petrol driven vehicles shall not exceed 3 per 
          cent by volume;
     (b) Idling CO emission limit for all two and three wheeled petrol driven vehicles shall not exceed 4.5 per cent by 
          volume;
     (c) Smoke density for-all diesel driven vehicles snail be as follows :-
 
 

Method of Test 
Maximum smoke density
Light absorption 
coefficient m-1
Bosch units Harridge units
(a) Full load at a speed  of 60% to 70% of maximum enginerated speed declared by the manufacturer  3.1  5.2  75
(b)  Free acceleration  2.3  65

(3) On and from the 1st day of April, 1991, all petrol driven vehicles shall be so manufactured that they comply 
     with the mass emission standards as specified at Annexure 'I'. The breakdown of the operating cycle used for 
     the test shall be as specified at Annexure 11' and the reference fuel for all such tests shall be as specified in 
     Annexure III' to this Schedule. 

(4) On and from the 1st day of April, 1991, all diesel driven vehicles shall be so manufactured that they comply 
     with the mass emission standards based on exhaust gas capacity as specified at Annexure IV to this 
     Schedule.

(5) On and from the 1st. day of April, 1992, all diesel driven vehicles shall be so manufactured that they comply 
     with the following levels of emission under the Indian driving cycle:-
 
 

Mass of Carton Monoxide (CO) Maximum Grams per KWH  Mass of Hydroxy carbons (HC) Maximum Grams per KHW Mass of Nitrogen Oxides (NC) Maximum Grams per KWH
14  3.5  18

(6) Each motor vehicle manufactured on and after the dates specified in paragraphs (2), (3), (4) and (5) shall be 
     certified by the manufacturers to be conforming to the standards specified in the said paragraphs and the 
     manufacturers shall further certify that the components liable to effect the emission of gaseous pollutants
     are so designed, constructed and assembled as to enable the vehicle, in normal use, despite the vibration to 
     which it may be subjected, to comply with the provisions of the said paragraphs.

(7) Test for smoke emission level and carbon monoxide level for motor vehicles-

     (a)  Any officer not below the ranks of a sub-inspector of police or an inspector of motor vehicles, who has 
           reason to believe that a motor vehicle is by virtue of smoke emitted from it or other pollutants like carbon 
           monoxide emitted from it, is likely to cause environmental pollution, endangering the health or safety
           of any other user of the road or the public, may direct the driver or any person incharge of the vehicle to 
           submit the vehicle for undergoing a test to measure the standard of black smoke or the standard of any of 
           the other pollutants.
      (b) The driver or any person incharge of the vehicle shall upon demand by any officer referred to in 
           sub-paragraph (a), submit the vehicle for testing for the purpose of measuring the standard of smoke or the 
           levels of other pollutants or both.
      (c) The measurement of standard of smoke shall be done with a smoke meter of a type approved by the State 
           Government and the measurement of other pollutants like carbon monoxide shall be done with instruments 
           of a type approved by the State Government.
