Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to speedometers installed in M-category, N-category, and L-category motor vehicles, including cars and motorcycles. It specifies the requirements, test methods, and same-type evaluation criteria for speedometers in their installed state. Manufacturers of these vehicle categories must comply with this standard to access the Chinese market. It replaces the previous GB 15082-2008 and introduces new requirements for L-category vehicles and digital speedometers.
Technical requirements
The standard outlines general requirements for speedometer equipment, mandating that vehicles must be equipped with at least one type of speedometer, such as a physical pointer, virtual pointer, or digital speedometer. The display must be located within the driver's direct field of vision and remain clearly legible both day and night. Furthermore, the maximum indicated speed must cover the maximum design speed of the equipped vehicle model. Regarding speed indication, the standard specifies rules for scale intervals and graduation values for both pointer and digital speedometers. It defines specific marking intervals based on the vehicle category and the maximum speed displayed on the dial, ensuring consistent readability across different vehicle types. A critical technical aspect is the indication error requirement. The standard dictates that the indicated speed must never be lower than the actual speed. Compliance with the specified error formula is mandatory for all regulated vehicle types. This ensures that drivers are not misled into driving faster than the actual vehicle speed, which is a crucial safety parameter.
Testing methods
The standard details specific testing conditions, including temperature, vehicle equipment mass, and tire pressure parameters. It introduces two primary methods for the indication error test: the road test method and the chassis dynamometer test. The road test requires a flat, dry surface with a minimum 100-meter straight test zone, while the dynamometer test specifies a minimum roller diameter. Manufacturers must ensure their speedometers pass these rigorous evaluation procedures. Additionally, the standard includes criteria for same-type evaluation to streamline certification for vehicle variants.
