Brief: The Indian Standard for the electric horns of automotive vehicles (IS 1884:1993) specifies the mechanicai, electrical and acoustical requirements, methods of tests for б, 12 and 24 V electric horns for use in motor vehicles including those intended for two and three wheelers.
IS 1884 STANDARD
The Indian Standard 1884 (IS) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), after the draft finalized by the Automotive Electrical Equipment Sectional Committee had been approved by the Transport Engineering Division Council.
The horn shall be provided with a name plate or marking which ahsll convey the following information: Trade-name or name of the manufacturer, Type number, Rated voltage, Month and year of manufacture, Country of manufacture.
CLASSIFICATION
The automotive electric horns are classified based on either the dcsign or the environmental requirements. Based on the design, the horns are classified into the following types:
Type | Definition |
Type 1 | Ac horns of high frequency type primarily intended for mopeds, scooters and motor cycles employing magneto system |
Type 2A | Dc horns of high frequency type intended for two and three wheelers using storage battery |
Type 2B | Dc horns of high frequency type intended for passenger cars and commercial vehicles employing dc system |
Type 3 | Dc horns of wind tone type intended for passenger cars and commercial vehicles |

WATER SPRAY PROOF TEST
The object of this test is to determine the suitability of the horn to withstand conditions of water spray. The sample horn shall be attached by its bracket to a rigid structure in the position recommended by the manufacturer, for horizontal projection of the sound waves. The horns shall be subjected to a precipitation of 2·54 mm of water per minute directed dounwards at an angle of 45° in the form of a spray, During the water spray test, the unit shall resolve about the vertical axis at a rate of four revolutions per minute. This test shall be continued for б hours. The unit shall then be allowed to drain for 1 hour.
At the end of the test, the horn shall function satisfactorily and shall pass the sound pressure level test. The depreciation in the sound pressure level shall be not more than 5 dB from the initial value. Strip examination shall show no evidencc of water ingress into the contact breaker and coil housing.
WATER SEALING TEST
This test shall be applicable to water sealed horns only. The test shall be conductcđ in accotdance with IS 9000 ( Part 1S/Sec 7): 1982 for a period of five minutes. The horns shall be completely immersed to a depth of 15 cm.
At the end of the test, the horn shall function satisfactorily and shall pass the sound pressure levcl test. The depreciation in the sound pressure level shall be not more than 5 dB from the initial value. Strip examination should show no evidence of water ingress into the contact breaker and coil housing.
