Ozone test chamber for automotive component manufacturer Faridabad is a well-established requirement among the 1,500+ automotive parts manufacturers in Haryana's Faridabad-Gurgaon-Manesar industrial belt. Imperial Auto Industries Ltd. — a major automotive component manufacturer based in Faridabad, Haryana — ordered a custom ozone test chamber (OZ-INDIA/OTC) with a stainless steel inner dimension of 500L × 500B × 500H mm from Ozone India Technology. This blog explains why Faridabad's automotive manufacturers need precision ozone test chambers, how Imperial Auto Industries uses this equipment in their quality system, and what other automotive OEM suppliers can learn from this procurement.
Faridabad — India's Automotive Components Capital
Faridabad, Haryana, is one of India's oldest and largest industrial cities, home to over 15,000 manufacturing units. The city's industrial sector is dominated by automotive components — OEM and replacement market — with suppliers to Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, JCB, Escorts, and the full range of Tier-1 automotive system integrators.
The ozone test chamber has become standard equipment in Faridabad's automotive quality laboratories over the past decade. IATF 16949, the automotive quality management standard, requires that rubber compound approvals be supported by ozone cracking resistance data — data that can only be generated in a certified ozone test chamber. Companies that cannot produce this data cannot achieve PPAP approval for rubber components.
Imperial Auto Industries Ltd. recognised this requirement and specified a 500mm × 500mm × 500mm SS inner dimension ozone test chamber — a chamber size that accommodates larger rubber components such as engine bay seals, large gaskets, door-sill profiles, and vibration damper assemblies. The SS-304 inner chamber construction resists ozone corrosion, ensuring that the chamber itself does not become a source of contamination in ozone atmosphere tests.
About Imperial Auto Industries Ltd.
Imperial Auto Industries Ltd. is a Faridabad-based automotive component manufacturer registered under CIN U74899DL1975PLC007737 with GST number 06AAACI0645J1ZS. The company operates in Faridabad, Haryana, and supplies to OEMs and Tier-1 automotive suppliers across India. Their email contact is [email protected] and they operate multiple phone lines (0129-4267600, 4269600).
The Purchase Order for the ozone test chamber was placed as a Fixed PO with Vendor Code OIT-01-01, confirming Ozone India Technology as an approved vendor. The PO was created by Purchase Section Head Mohan Sharma and authorised by the Imperial Auto Industries quality team. Item code 14MC-TST-00211 with indent number 23/35CIN/00016 confirms this was a controlled capital purchase within their ERP system.
The HSN code specified was 84051010 — confirming the classification of the ozone test chamber under Indian customs and GST as a "Ozone Generating Apparatus." Payment terms were 90% advance against proforma invoice at readiness of material and 10% within 15 days after successful installation — a highly structured payment schedule reflecting the company's disciplined procurement process.
Technical Specification — 500mm × 500mm × 500mm SS Ozone Test Chamber
Imperial Auto Industries specified a custom inner chamber dimension of 500L × 500B × 500H mm for their ozone test chamber. This is larger than the standard 100-litre test space of the basic OZINDIA-OTC model, and reflects the company's need to test larger-format components simultaneously:
| Parameter | Imperial Auto Specification |
|---|---|
| Inner Dimension | 500mm × 500mm × 500mm |
| Chamber Material | SS-304 stainless steel |
| Cabinet | Mild steel, powder-coated |
| Product Code | OZ-INDIA/OTC |
| HSN Code | 84051010 |
| Test Type | Static (confirmed) |
| Ozone Concentration | 25–500 pphm adjustable |
| Temperature Range | 20–70°C ±2°C |
| Sensor | Electrochemical |
| Warranty | 12 months from dispatch |
The 500mm × 500mm × 500mm configuration provides approximately 125 litres of test space — adequate for 8–12 standard rubber specimens simultaneously, or 3–4 large component specimens. This chamber size is particularly suited to automotive components testing where specimens may include door profiles, large gaskets, or cable harness rubber sleeving.
The door delivery requirement (DOOR DELIVERY) specified in the PO terms confirms that Ozone India Technology's transport arrangement extends to site delivery — not just factory gate. This full-service delivery is standard for all Ozone India Technology ozone test chamber installations across India.
IATF 16949 and the Ozone Test Chamber Requirement for Faridabad Automotive Suppliers
IATF 16949:2016 is the automotive quality management standard that replaced TS 16949. It is mandatory for all automotive OEM supplier facilities worldwide. The standard's requirements that relate directly to the ozone test chamber include:
Clause 8.4.1 — Control of externally provided processes: Companies must demonstrate that incoming rubber components meet ozone resistance specifications before use in production. In-house testing on a certified ozone test chamber is the most efficient way to meet this requirement.
Clause 8.6.2 — Layout inspection and functional testing: First article inspection of rubber components includes ozone cracking resistance testing per applicable material specification. This test must be performed on a calibrated ozone test chamber.
Clause 9.1.2 — Customer satisfaction: OEM-specific requirements (CSR) for major customers (Maruti, Hero, JCB) typically specify IS 3400 or ISO 1431 ozone test data in the component qualification package. Imperial Auto Industries' in-house ozone test chamber enables them to respond to these CSR requirements promptly.
