When did China 5 emission standard start to be implemented?

[DiEdward]

China 5 emission standard has been implemented nationwide since January 1, 2017. Below are specific methods to check which emission standard your vehicle belongs to: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label - there's a clear mark on the back of the label. 2. Query through the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center. 3. Bring the motor vehicle registration certificate (either original or copy is acceptable) to the vehicle management office for inquiry. 4. For new vehicles, check the factory certificate of conformity (usually kept at the vehicle management office). It's recommended to make a copy when purchasing a car for backup. 5. Make a rough distinction based on the vehicle's registration year: Most vehicles registered after 2008 are China 4; 2007 registered vehicles could be China 3 or 4; vehicles before 2007 are mostly China 3 or 2; vehicles before 2005 are basically China 2.
