Is the Environmental Protection Label Required to be Displayed?
1 Answers
No, according to the new regulations jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Transport, the green environmental protection label was abolished in 2018. Although the green environmental protection label for motor vehicles has been canceled, vehicles still need to undergo exhaust emission testing, which remains the same as before. New vehicles eligible for the 6-year exemption from inspection do not require exhaust emission testing. Now, you only need to obtain the annual inspection label and display the compulsory insurance label, meaning it is combined with the annual inspection label. Below is additional information: 1. Regulation: This regulation was jointly issued by the environmental protection and public security departments, meaning that vehicle owners no longer need to obtain or display the environmental protection label. However, the relevant exhaust emission testing must still be conducted, as passing this test is still necessary for the annual inspection to be approved. In other words, the environmental protection label has been merged with the annual inspection label, and the most noticeable change for vehicle owners is that they now need to display one less label. 2. Revised Annual Inspection Regulations: In addition to canceling the environmental protection label, the transport department has also revised the annual inspection regulations, such as allowing vehicle owners to conduct annual inspections online, conduct inspections in different locations, and eliminating certain fees. The reduced fees mainly include the appearance inspection fee and document printing fees. Vehicles eligible for the 6-year exemption from inspection can conduct the annual inspection online, and the relevant certificates will be delivered by mail with payment upon receipt.
