Subsequently, M/s Neptune Equipments Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, submitted the Smoke Meter Model OPAX 2000II/DX 200P after rectifications to ARAI, Pune, for testing. The said smoke meter model was examined and tested as per the revised test procedure specified in MoRTH/CMVR/TAP-115/116, Issue No.3, Part VIII.

Based on the above, it is certified that the smoke meter Model OPAX 2000II/DX 200P manufactured and marketed by M/s M/s Neptune Equipments Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, meets the requirements of the provisions of Rule 116(3) of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules 1989, as amended up-to-date, for the smoke meter.

The smoke meter Model OPAX 2000II/DX 200P is suitable for measurement of free acceleration smoke of in-use diesel vehicles fitted with CI engines, as per CMVR 115(2), subject to following conditions :

i. For the instruments already supplied in the field, the supplier shall carry out modifications as per Annexure-B and issue a compliance certificate based on which the Transport Authorities concerned will grant extension of validity to the respective PUC Test Centre for the purpose of PUC testing as per revised test procedure.

ii. The name of the model will be included by ARAI in the approved list of PUC Equipment only on compliance to (i) above by the supplier.

iii. The supplier shall abide by the Code of Practice attached herewith as Annexure-A. The supplier has already submitted an affidavit to this effect.

iv. The supplier shall enter into AMC agreement on annual basis with the authorized PUC Test Centres to whom this model is supplied. The AMC terms shall be as per the Code of Practice referred in (iii) above.

This Type Approval certificate is valid for the period of 5 years from the date of its issue or any amendment in the test procedure, whichever is earlier.

The last Conformity of Production (COP) was carried out for the supply of units manufactured till 14^th April 2004. The next COP testing shall be completed on or before 28^th Nov 2008 or production of 200 units from 29^th Nov 2006, whichever is earlier.
