These rules shall apply to all categories of vehicles and their last registered owners, automobile collection centres, automotive dismantling, scrapping and recycling facilities and recyclers of all types of automotive waste products; and the guidelines for Environmentally Sound Management of End-of-life vehicles (ELVs) and Automotive Industry Standard (AIS) 129.

Practical application
Implementation records should capture facility registration, location, registered scrapper, VAHAN access or certificate workflow, vehicles received, Certificates of Deposit, Certificates of Vehicle Scrapping, collection-centre links, scrapping-yard records, depollution, dismantling, and downstream material routes.
Minespider commentary
For auto-circularity proof, the registered facility is the trust anchor: certificate and scrapping claims should resolve to a registered facility and its vehicle/process records, not just a document upload.
Common confusions
- Treating any scrapyard as a registered vehicle scrapping facility.
- Recording certificates without facility registration and identity.
- Assuming facility registration proves recycling outcomes without material-flow evidence.
