Indian Standard
AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES — CALIBRATION OF
SPEEDOMETER — METHOD OF EVALUATION
( Second Revision)
ICS 43.040
@ BIS 2008
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Automotive Braking Systems, Vehicle Testing and Performance Evaluation Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Transport Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1986 and was first revised in 1995. This revision has been taken up to align
the requirements of this standard with ECE Regulation No. R39 Revision 1 (as updated last Supplement 5 to the
original version of the Regulation — Date of entry into force: 7 December 2002). In this revision following
changes have been made:
a) Tests are to be done on unladen vehicle in line with R39, instead of earlier GVW condition.
b) Speedometer accuracy requirements have now been specified separately for type approval and conformity
of production.
c) Test speeds and accuracy requirements have been aligned with R39.
d) Roller diameter 0.4 m instead of 2 m.
The following, though not spelt out in ECE Regulation R39, have been incorporated as it was felt that these are
required:
a) Increase in the inflation pressure of the tyre by 20 kPa has been made optional (see 3.4).
b) Requirement ‘Within two adjacent marked numerical values, the graduations shall be of uniform speed’
incorporated in 5.3.
c) Requirement ‘The marked numerical values shall be in Arabic numerals’ incorporated in 5.3.1.
d) Requirements of digital display speedometers added (see 5.4 and 5.5.1).
e) Rounding of test speeds to nearest 10 km/h (See Note 2 of Table 1).
The following provisions of ECE Regulation R39 are not included in this standard:
a) Use of imperial units of speed (see clause 5.1.2 of ECE Regulation No. R39).
b) Reference temperature for speedometer test (see clause 5.2.3 of ECE Regulation No. R39).
c) Administrative procedures given in clause 3, 3.3, 3.4, 4, 5.1.2, 5.1.4, 7, 8, 9, Annex 1 and Annex 2 of
ECE Regulation R39.
IS 11086:1984 ‘Speedometer and odometer system for automotive application’ is an important adjunct to this
standard.
Since IS 14272 (Part 1) :1995 ‘Automotive vehicles — Types — Terminology: Part 1 Three and four wheelers’
is under revision, AIS 053 ‘Automotive Vehicles — Types and Terminology’ may be referred, if required.
In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, is to be rounded off, it shall be
done in accordance with IS 2:1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’.
