The ratings will be voluntary and sampels for testing will be wither offered by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or can be picked up by the BNCAP authority from showrooms.
As per the government release, BNCAP rating will be based on the following parametres: Structural safety of car, safety of adult occupants of car, safety of child occupants of car, assessment of car for pedestrian friendly design and provision of active and passive safety assist technologies.
As per news agency PTI, BNCAP will be applicable on type approved motor vehicles of category M1 (motor vehicles used for the carriage of passengers, comprising eight seats, in addition to driver's seat) with gross vehicle weight less than 3.5 tonnes, manufactured or imported in the country.
The testing protocol of Bharat NCAP will be aligned with global crash-test protocols factoring in the existing Indian regulations, the report further said.
