PESO certification is mandatory under the Explosives Act, 1884, the Petroleum Act, 1934, the Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 2016, and associated rules.

Products used in petroleum storage, LPG distribution, compressed gas handling, and explosive operations without PESO approval are illegal and pose serious safety risks to public life and property.

Instacertify does not provide PESO certification or approval for CNG conversion of passenger cars, including retrofitted car CNG kits. CNG vehicle conversion and retrofitment are handled under the applicable Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), with type approval obtained through a testing agency notified under Rule 126, such as ARAI, as applicable. Requirements can vary according to the vehicle, kit, and conversion category. Please contact the relevant automotive testing agency or an authorised retrofitment provider for guidance on CNG kit type approval and installation. PESO-related approvals may apply separately to regulated cylinders, gas storage, or associated facilities, depending on relevant rules.
