•Inspection and Certification

Proposal for Effective Inspection and Certification Regime

• Dovetail the present PUC system with I/C centres

• Develop loaded mode emission test methods in the long run

• Use technologies like Remote Sensing Device (RSD) as a supplement tool to identify gross polluting vehicles

• Change Pass/fail cut off points dynamically

• Involve general public in identifying the gross polluting vehicles by sending the SMSs through mobile phones or using the toll free numbers

• Introduce an efficient maintenance system to rectify the vehicles that have failed in the I/C centers

Proposal for Effective Inspection and Certification Regime

• Introduce certification and audit system for repair workshops

• For the quality of the services by the test centers, introduce audit system

• Develop a centralized software which is common to all the I&C centers for data transfer, storage, data analysis, uploading on a web site, etc

• I&C equipment manufacturers and suppliers to train I&C operators

• The validity of the I/C centres should be linked to 5 years AMC
