How to Identify China 6 Emission Standards?
2 Answers
China 6 emission standards can be identified through the following methods: 1. Online inquiry; 2. Checking the information on the vehicle conformity certificate; 3. Consulting the environmental protection information list. When taking delivery of the vehicle, the dealer is required to provide the vehicle's conformity certificate, which normally contains information related to the emission standards, usually indicated in the form of specific national standard codes. The China 6 Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standards are established in accordance with the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, aiming to prevent and control environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I can share a few key ways to identify China 6 emission standards. When you purchase a new car, there's always a yellow environmental label on the windshield with 'China VI' printed in bold. If the label is missing, don't worry—just check item 15 on the Vehicle Conformity Certificate under the 'Emission Standard' section, where it's clearly stated. Nowadays, new cars have a blue 'i' badge embedded on the left side of the dashboard, which is the OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) symbol, a feature exclusive to China 6 vehicles. For used cars, you need to be more thorough. Flip to the 'Registration Information' page in the vehicle registration book (big green book), where China 6 vehicles will specify the GB18352.6 standard. It's best not to take the seller's word for it—the most reliable method is to enter the VIN on the environmental protection bureau's website to verify.
