How to Check if a New Car Meets China 6 Emission Standards?

[JordanFitz]

Here are the methods to check if a new car meets China 6 emission standards: 1. Visit relevant query websites such as the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website, and directly enter the vehicle identification number (VIN) and engine number to check. 2. Vehicle Certificate of Conformity: Many products come with a certificate of conformity, and cars, being such significant purchases, are no exception. The vehicle certificate of conformity will clearly indicate the emission standard of the car. Additionally, the certificate is usually collected and archived by the vehicle management office during registration, so it's advisable to take a photo or make a copy before registration for future reference. 3. Environmental Information List: This document directly states the vehicle's exhaust emission standard, whether it's China 5 or China 6. By reviewing this list, you can clearly determine if the car meets the China 6 standard. 4. Vehicle Conformity Certificate: When purchasing a car, you can request relevant documents and certificates from the salesperson. Although the Vehicle Conformity Certificate does not directly state whether it's China 5 or China 6, the information "GB18352.5-2013" can indicate that the vehicle's exhaust emission belongs to the fifth stage, meaning it's a China 5 vehicle. 5. Check the VIN directly: The VIN can be seen in the corner of the front windshield. The tenth letter of the VIN represents the production year of the vehicle, with A standing for 2010, and so on (excluding the letter I), J for 2018, and K for 2019. If the tenth digit of your new car's VIN is J, it means the car was produced in 2018, an "older" model, and you can question whether it truly meets the China 6 emission standard. Of course, the production year does not directly represent the vehicle's emission standard, so this method is for reference only.
