Where can I check the national emission standard of a car?
2 Answers
There are three methods to check the national emission standard of a car: 1. Look at the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has a clear mark on the back. 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. 3. Bring the vehicle registration certificate to the local vehicle management office for inquiry. Additional information: 1. The National VI Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard is established to prevent environmental pollution caused by exhaust emissions from compression-ignition and gas-fueled spark-ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health. 2. Currently, the industry production and fuel conditions for implementing the standard have been preliminarily met. Many light-duty vehicle manufacturers have basically completed the development of prototype vehicles that comply with the National VI standard for light-duty vehicles.
To check the emission standard of a car, I usually start by looking at the vehicle license. In the "Vehicle Model" section or the remarks on the license, terms like "China IV" or "China V" are often marked. Previously, when helping a friend check his Volkswagen, I found the China V label on the license. If it's not written on the license, check the top right corner of the windshield for an environmental label—though many cities have discontinued this, older cars might still have it. If you still can't find it, the most reliable method is to visit the vehicle management office with the license and ask the staff to check their system, as they have complete information in their database. The emission standard directly affects driving restrictions and annual inspections. For example, in my area, China III vehicles are not allowed in the city during the day, so it's better to figure it out early to avoid hassle.
