What is the correct notation for China 6 emission standard?
2 Answers
China 6 should be represented as China VI. It refers to the National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicle Pollutants. Here is relevant information about China 6: Issuing authorities: The standard was jointly issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. Implementation status: In February 2019, the Beijing Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau released the "Notice on Implementing the Sixth Stage Motor Vehicle Emission Standards in Beijing (Draft for Comments)" to solicit opinions from relevant units. Beijing will implement the sixth-stage motor vehicle emission standards ahead of schedule. Purpose: This standard can meet the requirements of key regions to tighten automobile emission standards for accelerating the improvement of ambient air quality.
Speaking of China 6, it's China's latest vehicle emission standard, called the China 6 standard, mainly aimed at reducing tailpipe pollution from cars. I personally noticed when driving that you need to check this label when buying a car, as it has been fully implemented since 2020 and is much stricter than the previous China 5 standard, limiting emissions of pollutants like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. The benefits? It significantly improves urban air quality and reduces PM2.5 pollution. I remember when I changed my car last year, I specifically chose a China 6-compliant one—not only did it save me some fuel costs, but it also holds its resale value better. However, when buying a car, pay attention to the China 6a and 6b phases; new cars now must meet the 6b standard, so it's best to check with the dealership to avoid any issues with registration. This standard promotes greener vehicles and is also beneficial for our health as car owners.
