Examine the Certificate of Conformity: It contains exhaust emission data and indicates the corresponding emission standard; 4. Query on the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website: Find the public query platform on the homepage, enter the vehicle's VIN code and the last 6 digits of the engine number to retrieve the information; 5. Inspect the vehicle's environmental protection label: The back of the environmental protection label on the front windshield clearly displays the vehicle's emission standard.
