01 — The Foundation

What is AIS-129?

AIS-129 (Automotive Indian Standard) is one important rule created in India for the automobile sector, regulating the recoverability, recyclability and material compliance of automobiles made and marketed in India.

Like the EU's ELV Directive, AIS-129 requires automakers to disclose the materials that make up their cars and guarantees that dangerous compounds are kept to a minimum. It also establishes criteria for evaluating a vehicle's capability for recovery and recycling at end of life.

AIS-129 promotes more environmentally friendly waste management and product design within the Indian auto industry — Global PCCS keeps your declarations and RRR calculations accurate and current.
