Resolved What is Compliance Plate on CNG Cars. How much it Costs

as per the BIS amendment no.1 MAY 2013 to IS 8451: 2009, the periodic inspection interval for the CNG has been changed to 3 Years from 5 Years. No Re -Filling of the CNG is allowed without it compliance.
thanks

Basically, Compliance Plate is all about that you are using
- Authorized CNG Kit
- CNG is properly endorsed on the RC
- Ensure Safety, so as to prevent people from entering into practices of Unauthorized CNG Kit installation
- Ensure that even approved CNG Kits beyond 3 yrs of life have 'hydro stress test' been done

A Compliance Plate carries details like :-
- Vehicle No, Chasis Number, CNG CTL No, Type, Purchase Date, Installation Center and Unique Compliance Certificate Number and is fitted in the engine bay of the car closer to the chassis. Where the CNG Kit is installed by the Manufacturer like Wagon R CNG - they already put up a compliance certificate near the refliing point.

The compliance plate is issued only when its properly endorsed in RC and Insurance.

As per the recent amendment to IS 8451: 2009 relating to periodic inspection and testing of high pressure gas cylinders issued in May 2013, the periodical inspection interval for CNG cylinders has been fixed at 3 years (updated)

Process of Issuance of Compliance Plate
Ideally, this compliance plate should be issued during time of installation only. Still, on cars which do not have it need to submit
- Copy of RC (with endorsed CNG) along with Insurance (with endorsed CNG), CNG Installation Invoice along with Issuance form need to be submitted to any of the approved Fitment Center

- CNG Fitment Center will do testing and inspection as per prescribed guidelines. If vehicle found fit for same with no leakage or issue - CNG Compliance plate been issued.

- Though there are no fees or charges been governed or stated by Transport Department in any of the circulars - but its heard that Rs 300 - 500 or even upto Rs 1000 are been charged by Vendors for issuing compliance plate on cars. Pls note that issuance of compliance plate does not attract any charges, see the notification from Delhi Government

In event of non-compliance of above compliance plate in car, the CNG Fuel station will not sell CNG to a vehicle without this compliance plate... This is as per the circular issued by Transport Department and is in effect from June 1 2013 for all CNG Fuel Pumps in Delhi.

Dear Sir/Madam,
please guide us the address and telephone where we get the cng cylinder compliance certificated as my car compliance certificated has been expired and i am not able to fill the cng on my car from cng station.

Regards,
Imrab

Hello Imran,

Contact -
>> Retro Fitment Centre for CNG Kit or
>> Check Transport Department Site of your zone. Some of the City Transport department have uploaded list of Authorized Center there.

i what to know where hydro test is mandatory after 5 years or 3year....i have a car on which cng is endorsed on rc ....installation date is 10th september 2010

Hydro Stress Report is generally done after 5 yrs.
The name - Hydro Stress Report though sounds bit technical - but Its basically, reassessment of CNG Kit for cracks, leakage or other vulnerability etc.

@ SAS - thanks, its correct. Was not aware of this change
@ Vivek - Its for 3 yrs now

Below is Article Excerpt as came in TOI

In a drive aimed at ensuring safety in all CNG run vehicles, Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), the sole supplier of CNG in Delhi and adjoining cities of Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad, would be refusing CNG dispensing to all categories of vehicles without a compliance plate indicating valid CNG cylinder with effect from 1st August 2013. The safety norms for CNG vehicles prescribe that compliance plate displaying kit related information should be installed near the filling point so that it is clearly visible to the refueler.

Earlier, IGL had announced to implement the drive with effect from 1st June 2013 and had undertaken a media campaign to that effect from last month. However, subsequent to the public notice dated 22nd May 2013 issued by Transport Department, Govt. of NCT of Delhi, IGL has now decided to extend the date of implementation of instructions by two months to ensure uniformity. As per the public notice of Transport Department, all the CNG vehicle owners have been asked to get the compliance plates fitted by 31st July from the concerned authorized Retro fitment Centres without any extra cost, since compliance plate is part of the CNG kit. Thereafter, the fuelling agencies have been asked to check compliance plates before refueling.

As per Gas Cylinder Rules 2004, hydro testing of CNG cylinders is mandated as per the period specified by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). As per the recent amendment to IS 8451: 2009 relating to periodic inspection and testing of high pressure gas cylinders issued in May 2013, the periodical inspection interval for CNG cylinders has been fixed at 3 years. PESO has authorized a number of testing agencies to carry out these tests and the information on the same is available at all CNG stations of IGL as well as on the website of IGL.

Does any one can provide the detail of any CNG center those who can arrange Compliance plate, as my CNG Hydro test is due for cylinder. What will be the cost for the same..

I had purchased esteem car 2006 model it was fitted with cng kit but now cng plate has expired what is procedure of renew. or it should be install again.

Hi,

I bought a 2nd hand car, as per the previous owner RC was updated with CNG but i have recieved transfer RC on my name without CNG on RC.

what can be done in thsi case.

is it an error by RTO?

@ Hammad Alam

Unless CNG is been removed and declaration filled - in rest all other cases - CNG remains endorsed in New Smart Card Issued. So - looks likely as an error from RTO End

Suggest to visit local office and get the error rectified by having CNG Endorsed on RC - Do not miss to carry
> New Original Smart Card
> Previous Smart Card Photocopy
> Insurance Policy with CNG Endorsed
> Latest PUC Certificate
