What is the emission standard for a 2009 car?

[StTeagan]

2009 cars are either China III or China IV emission standard. Cars produced between July 2007 and September 2009 are generally China III standard, while those after September 2009 are mostly China IV standard. Here are methods to check your vehicle's emission standard: 1. Check the back of the vehicle's environmental protection compliance label - the emission standard is clearly marked there. 2. Look at the first page of the vehicle qualification certificate. While it doesn't directly state "China III/IV", the emission standard is indicated through a series of characters. 3. You can roughly estimate the emission standard based on the vehicle's production year. 4. Take the vehicle registration certificate to your local vehicle management office for verification. Both the original and photocopy are acceptable for this query.
