How to Check Your Vehicle's Emission Standard?

[CharlotteDella]

Here is an introduction on how to check which national emission standard your vehicle belongs to: 1. The simplest and most direct method is to look at the vehicle's environmental protection label, which clearly indicates the standard on the back (however, these labels have not been issued since 2017). 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. 3. Bring the original or a copy of the vehicle registration certificate to the local vehicle management office for inquiry. 4. For new vehicles, you can check the vehicle's factory certificate. However, the vehicle certificate is usually kept at the vehicle management office. Therefore, it is recommended to make a copy and keep it when purchasing a new car for future reference. 5. Make a rough estimate based on the year the vehicle was registered. (1) Most vehicles registered after 2010 are China IV standard; (2) Vehicles registered in 2009 may be China III or China IV; (3) Vehicles registered before 2008 are mostly below China IV, i.e., China II or China III; (4) Vehicles registered before 2006 are mostly China II standard.
