Where innovation meets compliance, there arises a need for a seamless path to excellence, and that is where ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India) and Sunren meet. Being the leading NABL and AIHA-accredited and TEC-designated Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) in India and the USA, Sunren makes your journey to ARAI approval as smooth as your vision for the future.
Just for your information, AIHA and NABL are both monitored by a global conformance authority known as ILAC. Sunren is also deemed as an ILAC-accredited lab.
ARAI has very stringent testing and certification standards that have set the benchmark for automotive safety, environmental compliance, and performance excellence.
Sunren has experience in IT and Telecom testing, coupled with decades of expertise and innovative mindset, placing us as the go-to partner to navigate this critical aspect of automotive innovation.
ARAI was founded in 1985 under the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises. The mission of ARAI is to promote technological advancement, regulatory compliance, and skill development in the automotive sector.
The goal is to make sure vehicles, parts, and systems meet strict national and international regulations on emissions, crash safety, and durability. For example, most cars need to have ARAI approved anti-theft device. Testing this according to proper procedures will lead to the issuance of an ARAI approval certificate.
Consistent research and innovations in vehicle engineering, powertrains, alternative energy, and advanced safety systems.
To work in close cooperation with policymakers in the drafting and enforcement of automotive standards.
To equip engineers and technicians with the latest skills and knowledge.
This industry collaboration focuses on advancement through joint work among manufacturers and the research community, for example, building and development of EVs, ADAS, and ITS.
In other words, ARAI acts as a strong link in the chain in the Indian automotive sector for the implementation of evolving demands on the wheels of sustainability, safety, and innovation.
From simple core components of a vehicle, the auto sector has come a long way. Now, the pre-fitted accessories in the form of car radios, infotainment systems, immobilizers, and tracking devices have proved to be important and have shaped the driving experience.
Ever since 2016, ARAI mandated testing for such pre-fitted components under certain standards to ensure safety and build reliability in the automotive ecosystem.
Till 2016, most vehicle parts, including car stereos, infotainment systems, navigation, and immobilizers, among others, were considered just accessories and not integral to the basic model of a vehicle.
These components also weren't put under the same scrutiny given to the vehicles themselves.
In 2016, ARAI made independent testing of pre-fitted accessories at specific standards compulsory.
The aim? To ensure these integral systems meet the required stringent safety and performance requirements.
ARAI's Automotive Electronics Division (AED) independently tests pre-fitted accessories to the following standards:
01
AIS-004
Relates to car radios, navigation systems, infotainment devices, and tracking devices when used other than for fleet or public transport
AIS-076: What is ARAI approved anti-theft device?
These are devices fitted to your car so that they are not stolen easily or if they are. They can be tracked without much hassle.
02
03
AIS-140
This covers mainly the ITS and tracking devices for compliance with advanced transport technology.
These standards ensure that accessories fit into the vehicle's design while guaranteeing benchmarks for safety and performance.
ARAI-approved anti-theft device for car and immobilizer specifications ensure strong security features. It covers technical automobile devices like the following- ARAI approval for e rickshaw, ARAI-approved GPS device, ARAI-approved CNG kits, ARAI-approved e-rickshaw list, ARAI-approved electric auto, ARAI-approved electric bike, ARAI-approved electric car conversion kit, ARAI-approved electric kit for car, ARAI-approved electric scooters, ARAI-approved gas safety device, ARAI-approved GPS device, ARAI-approved PUC machines, ARAI-approved retro-reflective tapes, ARAI approved speed governor, ARAI helmet PSB-approved, ARAI helmet sharp approved, ARAI racing helmet dot approved size 7.50 m
These standards ensure that accessories fit into the vehicle's design while guaranteeing benchmarks for safety and performance

Any pre-fitted accessories that are offered with the vehicle are to be assessed by the AED division when offering a vehicle for ARAI approval.
Since most of the accessories are outsourced, suppliers like Panasonic or Continental perform AED testing for their products.
Those manufacturers who can produce on their own may independently test their components.
Accessories shall be tested against relevant standards: AIS 004, AIS 076, or AIS 140.
The certification from ARAI, after successful evaluation, completes the approval of the accessory.
ARAI approval is not a mere formality but an approach to instill confidence and ensure safety, while also encouraging innovation.
