How to Identify the National Emission Standard Mark on a Car?
2 Answers
Judging the national emission standard mark on a car is most straightforward by looking at the vehicle's environmental protection label. Below is relevant information on how to identify the national emission standard mark on a car: 1. Vehicle Environmental Protection Label: The simplest and most direct method is to check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has a clear mark on the back. 2. Website Inquiry: Log in to the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. 3. DMV Inquiry: Take the motor vehicle registration certificate (either the original or a copy) to the DMV for inquiry. 4. Vehicle Manufacturing Certificate: If it's a new car, you can look for the vehicle manufacturing certificate and check inside. However, generally, the certificate is kept at the DMV. Therefore, when purchasing a new car, it is advisable to make a copy for your records.
I've been driving for many years and found that checking the China emission standard label is actually quite simple. Usually, I can find a small label on the vehicle's windshield with markings like "China V" or "China VI" - that indicates the emission standard level. If you can't find it on the glass, you can check the vehicle registration certificate where the emission standard code (like China 5 or China 6) is listed in the registration information section. When some people forget the label location, I suggest they visit the DMV website and input the VIN for a free online query. It's important to pay attention to this label as it affects urban driving restrictions - some major cities only allow China 6 vehicles to enter, while China 5 or below may face fines. I recommend taking a photo of the label when you get a new car and saving it on your phone for reference in case the label wears off. This habit has saved me a lot of trouble. Always verify this before driving a newly purchased vehicle on the road.
