How to Apply for M-Station Certification in Automotive Exhaust Treatment?
1 Answers
To qualify, the applicant must have maintained an AA-level or higher automotive repair certification in the previous year. The application materials should be submitted online via the Public Service Platform for Motor Vehicle Maintenance. Upon approval, the station will be designated as an M-Station, authorized to undertake automotive exhaust repair projects. Below are the relevant details: 1. Practical Testing: Nitrogen oxides (NO), carcinogenic gases emitted by motor vehicles, are 20 to 30 times higher than the Euro 3 emission standards. Primary pollutants such as hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NO) emitted by motor vehicles undergo photochemical reactions under sunlight, forming more toxic secondary pollutants—photochemical smog. A 2014 research report by the Chinese Academy of Sciences indicated that this type of photochemical smog constitutes the highest proportion in haze. 2. Normalization: Due to the rapid and extensive development of China's automotive industry chain, emissions from motor vehicles have sharply increased in the atmosphere, making severe regional haze a normalized phenomenon.
