What is the emission standard for cars purchased in 2013?

[McAngela]

Cars purchased after July 1, 2013, are generally compliant with the China IV emission standard, as the registration of China III vehicles was discontinued by this date. On July 1, 2013, 19 regions including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Urumqi, and Lanzhou strictly enforced the China IV standard. The nationwide implementation of the China IV emission standard commenced on January 1, 2014. Below are some methods to identify the emission standard of a vehicle: 1. The simplest and most direct way is to check the environmental label on the vehicle, which clearly indicates the standard at the back. 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. 3. Bring the vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the local vehicle management office for inquiry. 4. For new vehicles, the emission standard can be found on the vehicle's factory certificate. However, the vehicle certificate is usually kept by the vehicle management office. Therefore, it is advisable to make a copy of the certificate when purchasing a new car for future reference regarding the vehicle's information.
