What is the equivalent of Euro III in China's emission standards?

[DelEmmanuel]

The Euro III emission standard is equivalent to China's National III emission standard. Generally, most new privately-owned vehicles manufactured between 2005 and 2010 were set with Euro III or National III emission standards for exhaust emissions. The National III standard mainly applies to light gasoline and diesel vehicles under 3.5 tons, equivalent to the Euro III standard, with a nationwide implementation date starting from July 1, 2007. Here is relevant information: 1. According to Announcement No. 5 of 2006 by the National Environmental Protection Administration, "Announcement on the Release of New Motor Vehicle Models and Engine Types Meeting the National Phase II and Phase III Emission Limits for Motor Vehicles," the National III standard mainly applies to light gasoline and diesel vehicles under 3.5 tons, equivalent to the Euro III standard, with a nationwide implementation date starting from July 1, 2007. 2. The National III standard represents a significant improvement, primarily emphasizing the emission standards for vehicles at -7 degrees Celsius, which is unique internationally. Another aspect is the zero-start standard for vehicles, including OBD (On-Board Diagnostics). Throughout the vehicle's use, if any emission-related issues arise, the vehicle will automatically alert the owner, who should then visit a service station for repairs to resolve the issue.
