Published: Nov 21, 2024

By TIOLCorplaws News Service

NEW DELHI, NOV 21, 2024: THE Legal Metrology Division of the Department of Consumer Affairs ensures guarantee in weighing & measuring and the accuracy of weighments & measurements. The draft Rules for the Radar equipment for the measurement of the speed of vehicles were published on the website of the Department for public consultation for finalization of rules under the Legal Metrology (General) Rules, 2011.

The draft Rules were framed by a committee constituted by the Department with members from Indian Institute of Legal Metrology (IILM), Regional Reference Laboratories (RRSLs) and representatives from manufacturer and VCOs. The draft rules were finalized considering the inputs provided by stake holders and after seeking public comments. The suggestions received during various consultations are examined carefully and the rules will be notified shortly.

The said rules will enhance accuracy, reliability, and standardization in traffic speed measurement, ensuring compliance with Legal Metrology Rules. These Rules are applicable to microwave Doppler radar equipment for the measurement of traffic speed on roads, which in brief are called "radar". The Rules provides that all such equipment shall be verified and stamped to ensure their correctness for the protection of human beings.

The stamped and verified Radar Equipment would ensure that radar equipment meets industry standards and specifications, reducing the risk of malfunctions or errors. It will also ensure precise measurement of speed, distance, and other relevant parameters. This accuracy is crucial for applications such as traffic enforcement for preventing accidents, wear & tear of roads etc. to create public trust.  Inaccurate speed measurements can compromise road safety by failing to identify speeding violations and deter unsafe driving behavior.

At large the public would benefit as there would be improved enforcement as verified radar speed guns will accurately measure vehicle speeds, identify violations, and enforce traffic laws effectively. The verified radar equipment will help in enforcing speed limits effectively, which in turn reduces the incidence of speeding-related accidents and increases road safety.
