Can National 3 Vehicles Still Undergo Annual Inspection?
1 Answers
National 3 vehicles can still undergo annual inspection. After passing the inspection, they can be driven normally on the road, but they are not allowed to drive on some restricted road sections. The National Phase III Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, referred to as National 3, is equivalent to the European Emission Standard Euro 1 in terms of tailpipe pollutant levels. The difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system. Annual inspection, also known as vehicle annual check, is a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle. Vehicle annual inspection can help eliminate potential safety hazards in a timely manner, encourage better maintenance of vehicles, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
