6. Trailer Code B
Trailer manufacturing being an unorganized segment in the country, there is a compelling and long-felt need to upgrade this segment to enhance its efficacy and safety aspects as well.
Standard lays down the requirements applicable to Trailers of Category T, viz. T1, T2, T3 and T4 used to transport goods, being towed by motor vehicles of N2 and N3 category.
Technical Aspects covered in the code are:
General requirements for dimensions, axle loading, external projects, RUPD, LPD, Spray Suppression systems etc.
Installation of electrical systems like electrical couplings, lamps, light and light signaling devices, reflective tapes etc.,
Compliance to brake standards and maneuverability.
Requirements for safety critical components such as fifth wheel coupling, fifth wheel king pin, tow hook, landing gears, towing jaw, draw bar couplings, tyres, wheel rims
Interchangeability and Compatibility.

7. Motor Caravan B Background:
Tourism Ministry has announced a policy for promotion and development of Caravan Tourism in India as a niche sector.
In general, construction of caravans require second stage of manufacturing. In India such vehicle alteration is considered as violation of Motor Vehicle Act.
Motor caravan manufacturers are facing difficulty in registration of caravans due to lack of clear guidelines.
Accordingly AIS 124 was prepared which lays down the type approval requirements applicable to motor caravans of category M.
This standard is applicable to:
a) Motor caravan manufactured by vehicle manufacturer.
b) Motor caravan which are built by motor caravan body builder on registered vehicle which is not older than 3 years.

11. End of life vehicle (ELv)B
End of life vehicle (ELv)
Vehicles produced around the world use millions of tonnes of resources such as Metals, Glass, Plastic Compounds, Rubber and Synthetic Materials, Leather and Fabric etc
At the end of life of every vehicle or after scrapping of the Vehicle, these materials are again released back to the Nature
In India, a substantial amount of vehicles (including old Vehicles, Vehicles undergone accidents, orphan/abandoned vehicles) are scrapped every year, however it is done mostly through the unorganized sector and currently no standardized procedure exists for such activities
Based on the Regulations/Directives already implemented across Europe and other countries, Government of India decided to formulate such Standard which will take care of the following:
Collection and dismantling of End-of-Life Vehicles - Under Ministry of Heavy Industry
Heavy metal restriction, dismantling information- to be provided by the Vehicle Manufacturer
Type Approval of vehicle with respect to Re-usability, Recyclability and Recoverability (RRR) - Under MoRTH
