Where can I check a vehicle's emission standard?

Vehicle emission standards can be found on the back of the environmental compliance label or through professional websites. Here's an introduction to vehicle emission standards: 1. Definition: Vehicle emission standards refer to national regulations established to limit harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust, including CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot). 2. Standards: China's national emission standards differ from European standards. The national standards are tailored to China's specific conditions, while European standards are common among EU member states, with European standards being slightly stricter than China's. 3. Countermeasures: To reduce these harmful emissions and encourage manufacturers to improve their products, both Europe and the United States have implemented relevant vehicle emission standards.
I recently helped a friend check the emission standards, and it was quite simple, mainly visible in a few places. The most direct is the vehicle's nameplate, usually a metal tag under the hood or on the door frame next to the driver's seat, clearly marked with terms like China V or China VI. Secondly, the emission information is also on the vehicle license; just flip to the vehicle information page, and you'll see it. Additionally, some cars indicate it in the user manual or on the environmental label on the rearview mirror. If the car is new, you can also check it by entering the VIN code on the manufacturer's website. Emission standards are quite important because they affect annual inspections and urban driving restrictions. China VI vehicles pollute less and are more environmentally friendly when driving on highways. During regular maintenance, I always check these labels to ensure they won't cause issues due to expiration.
